Does this radio receive the aircraft band?

It does not have that band included. You will need to purchase another radio such as a police scanner which has that capability.

No the PL-660 is almost the same exact radio but it also receives the aircraft band.

It's FM stereo (with headphones), AM, MW, SW and ssb reception . . I think the 660 may have the Aircraft band . . .

This unit does not receive 108 - 136 mhz band but it does receive shortwave air bands which are used to travel long distances .

No it does not. It is a single band, single VFO (vhf) radio with no repeater function. Typically a dual band radio (vhf/uhf) would have a crossband repeat capability with two independent VFOs.

No, if you use the FRS or GMRS band channels. Check google for the corresponding channels to frequencies, just google frs or gmrs channel frequency list.

It will if you equip the plane with a Spectrum brand receiver. It is the most fun you can have.

This radio does not have satellite radio reception such as Sirus or XM.I receives AM, FM and Short Wave. Sorry.

Hi Gloria, The radio comes with a very small wire antenna (not visible) that you can connect to to. Thanks

Not that I'm aware of, but that would be great. The radio is fantastic. I'm getting stations I'd never gotten clearly before. It was a big investment for me, but glad I took the plunge.

Not that I know of. I don't think it has a radio feature. At least I haven't seen it.

Jup. Works like a charm. All you have to do is to program the channels according to the band plan. You can pick up Airband as well. You need to do the mod though. I need CB, HAM and Airband for Hang Gliding. It's great to have all in one so that you don't have mess with 3 different radios while flying.

Aviation band is basically line of sight. When the aircraft (or tower) is higher, the radio could receive better transmissions. BTW: Having a good antenna is key for great reception.

No. It plugs right into you fm antenna then you tune to particular station. Very clean install and very good quality sound.

Not that I can tell. But I wouldn't recommend it anyway. The radio is hard to tune and sound quality is poor. I can't stand to listen to anything on it.

I also have this question. I'd like to know if this unit can receive FM radio if my Internet connection goes down.

Hi Tze - The receiver does very well in the air band, i would say yes to using in a plane .. but i would definately recommend a better antenna, exterior of the craft would be optimal.

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.

It will connect to either frequency, but only one at a time, of course. You can see all available connections from both bands.
