2-meter / Aircraft inexpensive handheld

[weirdjim]

I'm looking for an inexpensive 2 meter transceiver with RECEIVE ONLY on the aircraft band. Anybody got any recommendations?

I know Yaesu had one that was transceive on BOTH bands, but the AM modulation was horrible on the aircraft band. I only need receive on the a/c band.

Thanks,

Jim

Most of the manufacturers built the am band receive into the transievers as standard issue. Seem the cheapo units like wouxun are not doing the same.

I have a Yaesu 7900R in my work truck and an 8900R in my personal truck. Both will do what your asking in a mobile.

For handheld, I have the FT60R and it has an extremely wide band receive. Your cheapest route is the FT60 at $160ish, but hawk AES or HRO for Black Friday deals and I'll bet you might score it for much less.
