Title: FOR SALE- Bearcat Scanner and AirBlade Antenna
Post by: enigmakv on January 23, 2013, 12:14:33 AM
I live in the PHX metro area.  Have an old BC-350A that I wanted to set up for Sky Harbor (KPHX) Tower and Ground so my dad could listen to my flights.

Turns out the building I live in has very bad radio reception and interference.

I bought the VHF AirBlade Antenna ($80) to try to get reception and it only worked in my living room (not acceptable).

I am the original owner of the BC-350A and it is in excellent/working condition.

I'd like to sell the whole kit for $50 to someone in the PHX metro area.

(Would REALLY like if that someone planned to upload KPHX tower to LiveATC).

I can be reached at:

Thanks, Kevin.

If you stumble on anyone in the Phoenix area close enough to Sky Harbor have them contact me also.

I've heard that you put the call out for a Sky Harbor feed.

My dad listens in on my flights when I'm at work and its a shame he can't hear when I'm taking off or landing at my home base (KPHX).

I tried to make it happen.  I am 5 miles north of KPHX with a direct view of the airport, but as I said, my building has problems with radio waves (and I'm not entirely sure that the KPHX transmitters are on the airport or south mountain).  I bought the AirBlade to try to make things work, but no-go.

So hopefully someone sees this and buys my gear.
