NEW 3rd EDITION

Building on the superb reputation of the previous editions the Radio Today Ultimate Scanning Guide - 3rd edition now includes "Scanning - a Guide" by Chris Lorek, G4HCL and a comprehensive package of scanning software.

When this first appeared in the Radio Today Ultimate Scanning Guide the CD caused a sensation and the new version is significant step forward. With an improved interface and lightening quick searching this is a boon to any scanning enthusiast. The software element of the CD contains a wide range of shareware and freeware which can easily be accessed the search programme itself or by exploring the disc.

If you are a long standing scanning enthusiast or new to the hobby then you will find this book a "must have" for your book shelf and the yardstick by which every other book in this field is judged.

ABC Air Traffic Control (9th Edition)

By Graham Duke

This new and fully revised ninth edition again gives the reader a comprehensive account of contemporary air traffic control practice. Fully illustrated with both photographs and line drawings, abc Air Traffic Control remains an essential guide for all those interested in the operation of modern civil aviation. Since the eighth edition was published in 2001, the major new ATC centre at Swanwick, a project that had been much delayed, has been commissioned. Also significant has been the demise of Concorde operations at the end of 2003, and the cessation of the special air traffic control regulations that controlled the world's only supersonic airliner. At a time when the level of air traffic flying through UK airspace continues to grow apace and when the incidents of recorded 'near misses' are also on the increase, the subject of air traffic control remains important. Simply put this book is an excellent pocket guide for anyone interested in matters aeronautical.
