I have a few questions about monitoring the Air Band. These questions are kinda all over the place so I will just list them below.
1) Is their a glossary of AIR jargon so I can understand what some of these acronyms/ lingo mean ?
2) What frequencies should I scan to get the most enjoyment? One second I am hearing two guys have a conversation about some local air ports or terrain and the next I am hearing Air Lines jargon that I do not understand.
3) What is the range of a aircraft transceiver? Is it possible to hear communications 75+ miles away?
4) I am using a Uniden Bear Cat BC355c scanner. Should I just program into my unit a few key air band freq?
5) I have gotten into decoding data transmissions on HF with a shortwave receiver is their any data frequencies in the air band that one can decode with a computer and receiver.
6) How often can one hear military air operations on a receiver?

New to Air Band Monitoring. Looking for guidance!
