Nifty Accessories Radio Monitoring Guide

Nifty Accessories' "Radio Monitoring Guide" takes you to where the "action" is! These handy radio guides include concise information on how the various shortwave and VHF/UHF radio services operate. Use it as a tuning guide and for programming the scanning capabilities of your radio! Although very useful to the SWL or scanner listener, these combined Shortwave and VHF/UHF scanning guides are designed for the ham radio operator. They emphasize using amateur radio antennas and general coverage HF and VHF/UHF transceivers for SWL and VHF/UHF monitoring.

These manuals also include useful information about monitoring Civil and General Aviation, HF Marine Telephone, VHF Marine, GMRS, FRS, and other radio services. Are you an aerospace buff? Blue Angel, Thunderbird, and civilian air-to-air and ground-to-air operational frequencies are included! International Space Station (ISS) frequencies and NASA rebroadcasting references are listed as well.

For the DX chaser, these manuals provide a list of Amateur Radio HF DX propagation beacons! Maritime nets and other popular Radio Amateur emergency and maritime communication resources are covered.

These resources, listed in one convenient place, are your all-inclusive link to the world of radio monitoring!
