If you just want general receive, and don't intend to transmit it looks like the Watson?

However, there is a 'tuned' air-band model... http://www.radioworld.co.uk/w-901_airba ... al_antenna

Or , second hand for a tenner!

Hi got the Diamond RH-771 and Watson W-901 both do an excellent job on the airbands.

Regards Lino.

Well, it looks like you like it. Plus, it's not very expensive.
