Well, check this one out! Anaircraft receiver that receives all nearby traffic withoutany tuning. It gets better... there is no local oscillatorso it doesn't produce, and can't produce, any interferenceassociated with all other receivers with an LO.That means you can use it onboard aircraft as a passivedevice! And what will you hear? The closest andstrongest traffic, mainly, the one you're sitting in! Howunique is this? We have a patent on it, and that says itall!This broadband radio monitors transmissions overthe entire aircraft band of 118-136 MHz. The wayit works is simple. Strongest man wins! Thestrongest signal within the pass band of the radio willbe heard. And unlike the FM capture effect, multiple aircraftsignals will be heard simultaneously with the strongestone the loudest! And that means the aircraft closest to you,and the towers closest to you! All without any tuning or looking up frequencies!So, where would this come in handy?1. At an air show! Just imagine listening to all the traffic as it happens2. Onboard aircraft to listen to that aircraft and associated control towers3. Private pilots to monitor ATIS and other field traffic during preflightactivities (saves Hobbs time!)4. Commercial pilots to monitor ATIS and other field traffic as needed attheir convenience5.

The UP24 is one of our most advanced kits to date, andan absolute MUST for anyone serious about the environment around us! But theapplications only begin there.The unique design allows unprecedented super high resolution measurementsand display of absolute atmospheric air pressure. The UP24 senses ambient airpressure and critically calculates elevation with unheard of precision! Using ahighly sensitive sensor and 24-bit A/D converter in a special noise-immunedesign, less than 1/3" of an inch of elevation resolution is achieved! YES, we said1/3 of an inch! This high accuracy and resolution opens the door to a host ofsophisticated environmental air pressure monitoring applications.Unlike your normal run-of-the-mill barometer, air pressure is sensed in Pa's orkPa's. What are those you may ask? Pascals or KiloPascals. However, don't beafraid, for your convenience, and to fit any application you may have, it is also displayedin millibars, bars, PSI, atmospheres, millimeters of mercury, inches of mercury,and feet of water! Take your pick! The range of the UP24 is 15kPa to155kPa.We've talked about air pressure, now let's talk about elevation! The incrediblyprecise 24 bit A/D converter in the UP24 looks at the air pressure and converts itto elevation above sea level. In both graph and text, the elevation is displayed toa resolution of 1/3”! Yes, I said 1/3 of an inch! The applications for the superaccurate elevation meter are endless. From watching and recording elevationsduring hiking trips to measuring and recording the wave heights on boats! Letyour imagination take over from there!What if you're in the field and you want to save data captured in your UP24? Thebuilt-in FLASH storage provides 13,824 samples of storage. Then you can transferyour data to your PC with a standard USB interface.While the UP24 is small enough to be kept in your coat pocket it boasts a large2.78" x 1.53" 128x64 pixel LCD display screen making viewing easy. Displaymodes include both realtime pressure and elevation graphs as well as pressureand elevation statistics. There are 12 user selectable sample rates from 1/10th ofa second all the way up to every 15 minutes.Needless to say, you cannot put all the specs and screen shots in the limitedspace of this ad!
