Maycom AR-108 Air Scanner


This is my Maycom AR-108 Air Scanner bought it few months ago I wanted to get for years!!!! This will allow me to here live air traffic control around the world. The only times I use it is during plane spotting to find out where they are and if my flight was delayed if the plane is still in the air I can find out where it is from the airport.

It is small fits really well on your hand, the sound quality is perfect but the only problem is the areal don't give me wrong it works really well!! it wont reach far airports like I live in Portsmouth, UK my nearest airport is Southampton it won't reach Southampton Tower or Solent Control I need to buy a large areal for it, it currently picks up London Control South. I used it in Malta Radar, Luqa, Radar, Luqa Tower, Luqa Ground, Bournemouth Tower and Solent Control only if you live in Southampton or Bournemouth area if your areal is the same as mine.

You might be wondering how much is it? I payed £70 brand new in Farlington, Portsmouth it's pretty cheap. I do recommend to plane spotters if you want to get it because it small I say go for it.


Here is a really good ATC video of Emirates A6-EAJ departing Malta to Larnaca/Dubai it might be the best 2013 video can't decide after I return home to Malta this summer.
