Thanks for the reply, very useful. I have an SDR dongle around somewhere already I think. Are there any entry-level (price wise) handhelds you'd recommend? It's not always hugely easy to carry my laptop around with me sometimes.

If you have a (rooted?) Android phone, you can use the dongle with an OTG cable. Otherwise, a Baofeng DM-5R should do the job, it has digital modes compared to the cheaper and more popular models. Still limited to FM in analog, which is a pity for airband (where, by the way, you should never ever transmit in).
