some snippage involved

Anyway, with this antenna, the radio is everything I wanted, and more. I
can listen to NPR or music in my office, while the radio is constantly
scanning five pre-set aviation frequencies. Whenever someone transmits on
those freqs, the radio interrupts, and then gradually fades back into the
show after the transmissions cease. It's great!

What you are describing there is 'attack' and 'decay' time. Is the
attack fast enough so you don't miss the first word or a half transmitted
over the air-band? I presume the decay, returning to entertainment band,
starts when the carrier disappears.
Thanks for the PIREP, Jay.
Say, I looked at the photos related to the AOPA article about the Inn.
Using the photo how about giving me progressive taxi instructions to find
you. [Presume I can hop ditches.]

Tailwinds,
