[Scan-DC] Ramsey passive air-band monitor?

[Dewey3]

Ahh, thanks, I was looking forward to that!!!  I know about the very
recently lifted electronics ban, but I just knew that the airlines would be
very slow to relax the rule.  Glad to see that I was wrong.  I still LOVE
flying but do most of my travels now by Class A motorhome so the retirement
investment does not go to waste.  I also did a little Googling and found a
picture of the daddy of the project kits at
http://craphound.com/images/2729474646_0daed9668f.jpg.  Before that one
came out, the kits were single function limited, aircraft receiver, fm
radio, vhf receiver, etc.  That one was the daddy because you configured
the wiring to which kit you wanted.

Thanks again,
Dewey
