Maycom AR-108AE Air Band & Weather Channel Scanner

I bought the Maycom AR-108 AE scanner. This is a wonderful little scanner. I have used this for about a week and would highly recommend to people like myself who have a hard time programming scanners. The nice thing about this scanner is you dont have to program it at all. You can just turn it on and press SC and it will continue to scan all the airband. I live 40 miles from the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and The scanner stays busy all the time. The batterys are also going to last a long time. The instructions for the Radio are not great. You can still find all the Info you need. I wont even try to use the programming as its not needed and very complicated to use. I am very happy with the scanner. It is even easy to use for someone who is almost 66 years old. I have several other scanners but none work as great as this one. I am planning a trip to the airport soon. I love this little scanner.

After reading reviews I thought this scanner would work well for monitoring the local airport traffic where I have a plane and hangar. The reception was terrible, even while I was physically on the airport. The sound was full of static, like I was picking up a far away transmission. I had to turn the volume knob to full volume and still had a difficult time hearing it. And, if you get it through Amazon it is fulfilled by PilotMall. When I called PilotMall to see if I had received a bad one they told me it was one of the lower end scanners, (not in my opinion by the price they are asking). Plus, they sure don't advertise it that way. They refused to reimburse my shipping costs to send this piece of junk back to them. I used to be a good customer of PilotMall, but not anymore. You will be disappointed with this scanner, please don't waste your time.

Radio arrived 2 weeks before estimate. Product is simple and ready to use. Just ensamble antena and place baterries. Easy and strait foward. Very pleased.
