EHGR 29-11-2010

Went to runway 28 early this morning. It was freezing cold (-2C) and it made the shooting very unhandy (you know when you do not feel your fingers and you have to push some tiny winy camera buttons) Visual : -> 298sq CH-47D : Corona 4 ( D-663 ), Corona 5 ( D-667 ) -> 300sq AS532U2 : Demon 4, Demon 5...

Re: starter's question

It took some days to get an account on fightercontrol but I am now logged in. Will start digging in posts. Thanks all of you for the tips. Looks like at first glance that resolving callsigns to serial is not an easy task.

Re: EHGR 22-11-2010

Couguars serials added in my first post in this topic after checking the on-site shots. Once you know where you have to look for, things become easier. Still pretty hard to spot in low light weather.

Re: starter's question

Just to let you know (perhaps it will help a newbie in the future) that I bought the 3500 XLT with Diamond SRH 779 (plus ARC3500 Pro software) and it works just fine. Picking up various ATC signals (military and civil). Now down to my question. I get to hear callsigns but do not manage to get serial...

I am now studying the UBC 3500 user manual. Now before I invest into a UBC 3500xlt, could you tell me if...
