Well, I got my new scanner today off of ebay for $65. I bought a new one because I thought that something was wrong with my old one. First of all the connector from the radio to the BNC connector always had a short so half the time it wouldn't work and you wouldn't even know it. Also, there was a lot of static on the line, well it really wasn't static, I could hear like a radiostation playing in the background. I didn't know if it was my antenna or what. But once I got this new scanner, I'm so impressed! I can pick up Champaign Approach, tower, and ground, and even Chicago Center. Before I could never get Chicago Center. I live about 10 miles from the airport, and I can even hear aircraft on the ground! I've got a large discone antenna ontop of my 2 story home, and it does seem to do the job.
Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone is interested in me setting up a Champaign Approach Feed/Chicago Center. Currently though I don't have a spare computer I could hook it up too, unless I use the one in the basement, but that's too far for the antenna. If anyone has an old computer laying around and isn't being used, you could send it to me and I'll set up a Champaign Approach/Center feed. Any comments are appreciated.
