Unlike Icom amateur radio products, the programming software for this isn't free which was a bit of a surprise. Still it was fairly straight forward to import frequencies once I had the csv file format sorted. So much quicker than my older Uniden scanner, and quite sensitive too. The Bluetooth functionality pairs well with my headphones so my listening doesn't upset the family!
Decided to get a decent first-step into the world of radio receivers, getting ready for the upcoming airshow. I was guided to this radio and after a few weeks of here and there use I have picked it up pretty quick and anticipate using it at the Avalon Airshow in 2027. In the mean time I used ChatGPT to create a bunch of different frequencies channels so i can easily go through labelled and organised frequencies easily and quickly. One of my favorite features is being able to listen/record to two broadcasts at the same time.
