Thanks for the comments ... English is not my native language... so sometimes... i'll take a detour to explain something that can be with one word hehe ... yes you are right about 73... hope you enjoy your radio ... and for the scan edges and memory scan..the videos will be coming soon to explain everything .... 73 !
hi & tks for your channel. i've only had this radio a few days. if you scan all memory, it scans the band edge freqs, a bug-not-a-feature, imo. so i set those band edge memories to 'skip' since some of them have audio, but if i start a search within one of those bands, will it now skip the band edges? or does the skip only mean to skip channels and pskip would skip it on a band search? i'm sure i'll have more questions later, but tks in advance. /guy (73 de kg5vt | wqpz784)
btw: 73 is singular, although i know you hear 73s&88s all over the bands. *won't-let-me-post-a-link-here* and i think (though i'm not positive) that the word you're looking for to describe the shape of the display window is convex. i've never seen one that is concave, but, as you point out, many are recessed and that protects the display much better. /guy (73 de kgtvt | wqpz784)
listening to the ISS does not require a very complex scanner... the real advantage to the R20 is mainly if you want to listen to amateur satellites that transmit cw signals and ssb
This without doubt the most boring review I have ever encountered Have watched part 1 part 2 part 3 I am beginning to loose the will to live.25 mins & I have not heard the radio working yet.The reviewer keeps repeating him self. BOREING ZZZZZ !
Great review. I love Icom IC-R20 so much.
