Wow! you just have to keep it on the down low when you want to listen to
your radio. Even before 9-11 peoplwere paranoied about all of that kind
of thing. NOAA weather is a good help. Trunktracking is kind of a
nightmare though because you fly over many systems and many control
channels. Also, type I and II systems at the same time you could hear as
well.
