Icom handheld scanners have always been less than optimal radios due to
intermod problems. If you were to get a handheld, I'd go for the
MVT7100. [Yeah, got one of those too.] The only drawback to that radio
is the goofy battery holder, and of course a lack of computer
programming.

a receiver with good sensitivity on 800 - 1000mhz or there abouts, im
using a Icom 706 that

now im using a pro
2006 scanner but i would like something with manual control of
frequencys.


The Icom IC-R20 may be a nice one.
