G'Day, Has anyone any knowledge of the Icom IC-R2 handheld shortwave radio. (or equivalent). I'm looking for a compact radio to pick up weatherstations when far away from any VHF repeaters. Is this radio just for short range work or will it receive over long distances. Is it possible to hook up an effective aerial? Thanks for any help. All the best, PeterO Who also helps with the Paddlewise Who's Who List so if you need to add an entry or make a modification my email address is rebyl_kayak_at_iprimus.com.au *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
