HI,
I am somewhat new to all of this, & had a few questions for the pros on here.
I am thinking of building this Aircraft Communications Receiver, it looks simple enough that I could do it.
Questions;
1. What is the "range" on something like this? I don't actually live near any airports. Actually, I am pretty far out in the country (woods).
2. I don't understand what the purpose of "L1" in the circuit. Is that for a "fine tune" or calibration adjustment & then you let it alone?
3.What type of antenna would you use for this?
Also, I came across **broken link removed** site that modifies an existing am/fm radio to receive these signals? Would that work?
It all looks like it should be fun, but I don't want to put alot of time/effort into it if it wouldn't work for my particular application/location.
Thanks to all for the replies & trying to help a noob out!
