Hello all,
I just discovered this very nice forum.
I would like to buy a mini scanner to use around airports, and at home. I am an aircraft photographer.
I then would like to choose the most sensitive one in the 120-136 MHz area mainly, 230-400 MHz occasionnaly. Reading lot's of reviews, i still hesitate beteen the Yaesu VX-3 and ICOM IC-R6.
Regarding this, which one should be the most sensitive device ? (most important fact, of course)
Which one has best battery life (second important thing for me, should run all day long)
And which one is the most user friendly, and "bug free" device ?
I have found lot's of readings about the older Yaesu, but nearly nothing about the relatively new ICOM.
Thanks a lot for your comments,
Laurent from Belgium
