I live 11 miles from my major international airport too. I can hear the tower and also approach very clearly. On clear days, I can even pick up airports that are 20+ miles away. Hope that helps!:)

Probably not unless you have a direct line of sight to the tower. You can probably hear planes overhead calling in but unless you are on a hill with line of sight to the tower don't count on much. If you are at the airport then you are good to go. I listen to ATIS while preflighting the plane and keep it as a backup in case the in plane radio goes out.

The one I have will not pick up my local airport weather more than 3 miles. Ground communication back to Unicom no more than a half mile. Planes in the pattern can barely hear transmissions if at all. Weak radio. I'd suggest another type.

Remember that aircraft frequencies are VHF, which means that they operate on line-of-sight. What you can hear will depend on your local geography. I live 6-7 miles south of IAD and can hear all frequencies at the airport. I work about ten miles north of DCA and cannot hear any frequencies at the airport, but, I can hear all transmissions from arriving and departing aircraft (remember line-of-sight) as long as they are above the horizon. I do like the radio and use it as a backup when flying light sport.

Hi Beth, no, you can not, however, in all honesty you really wouldn't need to do this with this particular unit, the reception is amazingly wonderful,i have 3 base units and 1 hand held and I never experience any interference at all. I hope I have helped you. Take care. sincerely: Ray R.

I can travel just about anywhere in my house or yard and still receive signal. It does depend, however, on what obstacles are between headset and source, such as a floor to ceiling well filled bookcase.

No this is for a internet provider to shoot further outside on a tower. But with the right radio could but would be costly. Hope this helps

I meant no, it won't work with airport/airport express. I think I said airplay.

You need the previous version of the airport express (Models M9470LL/A or MB321LL/A). The newest model of airport express will not physically fit into the speaker unit. Yes, any iPod or iPhone or iPad will be compatible. You simply airplay to the airport express that is embedded in the speaker.

I have not had the chance to use it with the airport express. it does have a audio jack and I have plugged iPods and my iMac in this speaker. it works great for background music.

I only see one option listed in the user manual. It is model GSU-5H. My CP190i is mounted on the flying bridge so I don't use an external antenna.

I would check http://dtv.gov/maps for your area. It matters how many miles you are from the towers that send out the signal.

I use one connected to a homemade 1/4 wave, ground plane antenna mounted on a 20 foot tower. I can consistently communicate on the 2 meter band on repeaters up to 80 miles away.

It really has a nice clear, strong sound, but it can only operate by embedding an older model airport express inside the unit. It is an easy install. Once the airport express is installed, the unit will connect to your wifi network, and you can select it thru AirPlay.

I get all the base stations and aircrafts do not know way you just get air band.try the att on your scanner put on and off.

Yes. I was disappointed about the buzzing sound, but it's only audible when I go near the TV. I don't hear it when I'm sitting on my couch. The user manual itself says that there will be a slight buzz from the TV and that it'll get worse when the altitude increases.

Anywhere from 4 - 6 miles. If you want to talk further I would look into adding an amplifier. Hope this helps.

You have to be connected to wifi. I sit on the couch with headphones and listen. My wifi is about 10ft away.

Yes, the A-7 streams from all Apple devices and also I Tunes. You just have to connect the A-7 to your Wi-Fi network.

Depends on how loud you need it to be. I fly I c130 aircraft and I can't hear it in the plane, but i can hear it when i fly in the sim.
