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
