Awesome little receiver/scanner
Review by
I saw some not so good reviews on this Icom. On the airband I pick up 4 airports. They are 7, 22, 49, & 59 miles away. Not static but crystal clear. Shortwave is almost as good as my shortwave radio. Everything I listen to I can receive. I do recommend getting the RT Systems programming software. Once programmed it is very easy to use. I had the original Icom R1 which was ok for the time. The front end would overload big time and only used rechargeable batteries. If Icom ever decides to discontinue this unit I will never have to worry about getting a proprietary battery 10 years down the road. Plus, I live in hurricane central and having a pack of AA batteries is way easier then trying to charge up when there is no power. The only thing I miss a little is the keypad on the R1 but it isn't a dealbreaker. I really like the R6 and the more I use it, the more I am loving it.
