LISTENING GUIDE
ATC scanner online: what to expect
Understand how an internet ATC feed differs from a physical radio scanner.
Streamed versus local reception
An online feed relays audio from someone else’s receiver. A physical scanner receives nearby radio directly.
Explore distant airports
An online catalog can reach airports beyond local radio range when a feed is available.
Practical limits
Streaming adds delay and depends on the provider’s receiver, connection and applicable local rules.
