Transmission1

i want to talk to the airoplanes what sort of price for a basic radio that can transmit and recieve on the vhf airband and what sort of distance could a handportable transmit to cheers in advance

Why would you want to talk to the pilots?

What you are proposing is very illegal.

Extremely and dangerous. Stick to 446

You can't/shouldn't talk on the air band unless licensed and using it for its correct use, listening in is fine.

If you want to talk to people over the radio get yourself a cb radio.

..do you have the CAA certificate of competency and valid business using airband??..

..if not be very very careful, pilots do not have ch19 or s20 and will not have casual chatter with you or me, calling an aircraft on vhf-air will cause problems and confusion,

I use airband at work and I was required to sit two exams and l still cannot just grab a radio and call up random aircraft...


Defo not the band for 1 19 a copy.

Im not trying to be negative but be careful.

I smell troll........

I am pretty sure pmr446man knows this chap though.

Trollier than a Troll in trollsville pushing a Trolley with a Troll in !!

Sorry couldn't resist

Definately a troll but even if he did manage to get a handheld that would transmit on am airband (most doubtful) you would have The CAA and every other criminal authority come down on you like a ton of bricks, and you would become big Cecil's wife in the nick.

No such thing as IF with Airband...... DFin' is part of the service most airfields provide ti pilots.

No way of tracing people using a handheld transceiver unless they key the mic for hours...

But if they are talking to pilots they would be transmitting for a period long enough for triangulation
And I am sure the government would use the anti terrorism laws to their fullest capability regardless
of the person even trying to terrorise a mouse.
so good luck and happy transmitting

Not a chance.... 10 sec transmit and you think they would be able to find you ....NO CHANCE

I'm almost seeing that as a challenge...

But I won't though.
