Aviation Scanner receives 8 channels

I started development of an aviation receiver a year ago. Now, the fundamental receiver technology is solid and producing phenomenally good audio quality. Proof is this short youtube clip, which is also annotated by YT and some AI app. The entire clip is less than 90 seconds long, yet shows a nonstop interchange between controllers & airplanes, with an occasional interjection from Kansas City center traffic, way up high.


One of my Kickstarter backers made this statement:

That has to be the most clear, ungarbled, air traffic I have ever heard !!!


Watch and listen!:



What you are seeing is 8 different frequencies being monitored at the same time. This lets you hear both sides of the conversation, when you are monitoring multiple ATC channels and the airplane is responding on one of them, while also keeping an ear out to the local pattern traffic. Too many channels? touch a button to enable or disable whatever you want to hear.


We are planning to introduce a new radio design based on this technology around the time of Sun N Fun.
