Being somewhat rusty on radio technique (having learned at an
uncontrolled field with no Unicom), I'd like be able to monitor the
approach, tower, etc. frequencies of the local airport.
Can anyone suggest a decent, relatively cheap receiver or
scanner that gets aviation frequencies (~108-~130?MHz)?

Cost objective is under $100 (more than that, and you might
as well spring for a 720-channel hand-held for $300, right?).
Main criterion other than that is ease and accuracy of tuning.

Tnx,
