Does anyone know of one of the disposable Chinese radios that will handle airband AM receive 118-136 MHz ??
Don't believe those exist yet. To listen only, try a real scanner, to talk, try eBay for a good used radio.

The Wouxun KG-UV9D and plus model have am receive in the am band from 108-136 MHz. I have one of those and it has excellent receive audio and I get good reports on my audio when using the local repeater. Hope this helps. 73

Thanks Eddie:
Can you tell me how you access that?
I have a KG-UV8D.
Thanks,

I'm fairly certain the UV-5R and friends have that feature. I know my BF-F9 V2+ has it. From what I've seen, you just tune it there, and it figures it out. Some of them have AM/FM/FMN in the menu though.
Thanks, Chance

Thanks for all the replies. Jardy, the KG-UV9D sounds good, but as Eddie cited, a good scanner would serve the purpose and looking at the 9D the scanner can be had for less. Stan the sd007vu looks interesting but is a little large for my intended purpose.
Thanks for the input. Looks like I will just find me a cheap little vhf scanner. They tend to scan a lot faster than your standard HT anyway.
Thanks again and 73

And I would not call the KG-UV9 a disposable Chinese ht. Now the Yaesu FT-60 also listens on Airband, but, if you don't need to talk on it is a waste.

I am the one that suggested s scanner, not the KG-UV9.

ChemoFog, please forgive. And no the 9D is not a disposal Chinese HT. Kind of obvious, but he chose to post it. FWIW I started out looking at scanners and that is where I have returned.
I posted the question because I seldom have need of a monitoring only device so another HT would be a more practical purchase, buy none I am aware of can match the speed of an actual scanner.
