A neat simple superhet operating in the aircraft band. I borrowed one
briefly from KA9FOX, and it appeared to me that it would be easy to feed
the receiver with a small yagi or Moxon rectangle to make a directional
sniffer that would be even more useful.
My solution to the problem is an ICOM IC-Q7A. This little dual-band
handitalkie cost under $100 at Dayton last year, and has AM receive from
100-330 MHz, plus 144/440 MHz low-power transmit. It works great for
finding noise sources, even without the directional antenna, which I intend
to add this winter. My body makes an excellent shield at these frequencies.
