RADIANT has developed an 8 channel aviation scanner called AirLite Tactical. With outstanding clarity and sensitivity, it helps the pilot sort out multiple channels of aviation communication with one diminutive pocket-sized radio.
 
In testing, James Wiebe, CEO of RADIANT, has easily listened to clear communications from jet traffic over Nebraska and northeast of Kansas City, Missouri. (James’ testing lab is in southern Kansas.)
 
Most of the development of the project was funded through a 600%+ successful Kickstarter campaign under the name of SCARP. Many audio sessions have been recorded using various prototypes and are available to review on YouTube. 
 
“I’ve been most impressed with the ability to follow the flow of communication as FAA Controllers handle multiple aircraft on different frequencies. This helps the pilot understand why a particular channel has gone silent, or what other traffic the Controller is handling. It also assists understanding of what is happening in high traffic areas, so that a pilot can listen to Unicom, Clearance, Approach, and ATIS (on demand), without having to flip frequencies."
 
AirLite Tactical will be a very effective tool for IFR training and great for FBOs, offering a multi-channel radio monitor for pilot planning rooms. Finally, I think anyone who loves to listen to aviation traffic will enjoy owning and using AirLite Tactical.”
