Re: Icom IC-R20

I have just purchased an Icom R-20 and holy hell what a nice receiver! It's got nothing on my Icom R-5. The R-20 is EXTREMELY easy to use compared to the R5 and it just does so much more. The afternoon i received it i plugged in the standard telescopic antenna it comes with and did some searching. I...
