[MilCom] Military Aero "Close Call Capture Technology" Results?

[GHS521 at aol.com]

I had fantastic results with my Pro97 at several airshows last  summer.
I live a good mile from my local airport. My 97 routinely gets hits on  the
local freqs including 172.900mhz.

There's  some Uniden ("close call capture") & Radio Shack ("signal stalker")  
models that allow this function.  So far I haven't had any success  with this 
on hearing/finding any milair freqs (aircraft or even  tower).  When we tried 
it (RS Pro 97/RS Pro 83) at KBAF we were  within 500 feet of the tower but 
couldn't get it to lock onto the ATIS or  the tower/ground control when we 
knew by use of another scanner that  transmissions were active...   Was 
wondering what results others  have had with this technology, as it relates 
to aero type frequencies  (118-138, 225-400 mhz).  From a military ground 
support radio  (P25/NFM) nets/systems prospective I get more than a 1/4 mile 
lock on with  the Pro 83/Pro 97).
