Hi Hue -

 

Racal and WJ had receivers that did that. E-Systems also made those
specifically for use in aircraft. 73 - Mike

Again triaging paper, I see this in 'Review of International Broadcasting,
No. 122', January 1988:

 

"I once had a brief chance to play with the receivers in a U-21 [ sic ]
electronic - reconnaissance aircraft, while it was parked on the ground at 

the local airport, back when I worked for the Army agency that managed
aircraft parts. You could tune a cursor on a spectrum - analyzer 

display to the peaks of individual signals, get a digital readout of their
frequency, and hear them in your headphones. It was a really fun way to

bandscan."  ( Will Martin )  

 

So, I ask, what was this receiver ?

thanks-

Hue
