Summary of VHF AIRCRAFT RADIO COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVER
This project is a simple radio receiver designed to capture aviation voice signals within the 118MHz to 138MHz AM (A3E) frequency range. The concept was inspired by an article from Sverre Holm (LA3ZA) regarding a low-cost VHF receiver solution.
Parts used in the VHF Aircraft Radio Communications Receiver:
- Radio receiver components
- VHF circuitry for 118-138 MHz
- AM (A3E) signal processing parts
This is simple radio receiver project which is capable to receive aviation radio voice signals which are transmit between 118MHz to 138MHz in AM (A3E). We got initial idea of this project by reading Sverre Holm’s (LA3ZA) article about “cheap VHF receiver project
