Duxford

Postby Quincysw » Fri May 14, 2010 5:27 pm

Hi everyone.
I am going to the Duxford Airshow on Sunday and will be using my Uniden UBC 30XLT scanner for the first time.
Any advice would be very welcome.

regards

Check your batteries!

Pre program all the frequencies onto the snanner, that way you're not messing about doing it on the day, the only one I have written down in my note book is 122.075
Although I'm sure there are others.

Agree with batteries, most annoying thing is when they go mid air show (always happends to me =)) ).
