When choosing an airband radio, you should take into consideration which frequency bands you want to be able to pick up, and whether you’ll be using the airband scanner for communication or simply listening to transmissions. Any airband radio or airband scanner in our collection will be able to pick up frequency bands from aircrafts within line of sight.
Not every airband radio and airband scanner is able to communicate or listen to military aircrafts, so if you’re looking for an airband radio that is able to, we recommend the Uniden 125XLT which is able to pick up the military frequency band.
