Icom Scanner Purchased

Have now completed the purchase of an Icom IC-R2 (have previously owned an IC-R5). This will do me fine for 'on airfield' operations with the signal R535 for home based listening. I purchased the Icom R2 as their quite cheap now. I have read in some places that it performs better than the R5? in any case it is more than sufficient for my mobile operating needs. My trusty, much looked after Yupiteru 7100 will be sold on Ebay shortly. These are still a great scanner and I would be not selling it had I not acquired a Signal R535 which is probably the only receiver to rival it's performance.
