My dad's birthday is approaching. Want he wants is a BASIC aviation scanner. He bought one from Radio Shack a few years back, but it has so many bells and whistles, that nothing about it is intuitive or easy. He had one from the early 90s that he really liked with the following features:
-Aviation only: it didnt scan fire/police/EMS, weather, or AM. You turned it on, and it was always and only on aviation
-Few buttons
-Simple input: Just start typing, and it tunes that frequency. It doesn't yell at you if your inputting a frequency already in the 500 freq storage bank
-Scan button: hit the button to turn scan on, push again to turn scan off
It's beauty was in it's simplicity. He'll be 56, he doesn't need another piece of equipment requiring him to read and memorize the whole manual just to use it (his words, not mine).
I've done a Google search, with no success. Anyone got any ideas?
