Afternoon,
I am able to listen to Edinburgh Airport rebroadcast on my UV-5R, but why do they rebroadcast of NFM?
I always thought the airband was on AM frequencies?

Re: Airport Rebroadcast
If you are talking about a transmission on UHF (typically around 455 MHz), it is to allow the tower to communicate with airport vehicles and staff (for example when crossing the runway). UHF walkie talkies having a much shorter antenna and thus being more convenient to use.
