I got the Icom-PCR1500 & the R2500 and are excellent receivers to use and with a good antenna you will enjoy receiving signals with these radios,i use the Icom-AH7000 discone with both radios.

There is a few other options like the AOR-8600MK2 and its wide band coverage receiver and later on you can add the APCO-25 DIGITAL DECODING BOARD.I do have the radios that you mentioned plus the AOR-8600MK2 but at the end of the day it depends what you want to listen too.

Steve I put up 1 of my Diamond-D777 a few weeks ago and it was about 8 metres high and it didnt perform well and i have tried other antennas in the same location and they didnt perform well,I got an area when i it seems to be a dead spot for any antenna,you need to run good coax with the D-777.

My employment is not the issue i got asked a question about antennas and i answered it and i do take my hobby very serious thats why i have all those radios and a few more and antennas to cover all the bands with all my antennas and i do monitor the Airbands more than any other band.

The Alinco,Aor,Icom,Yaesu have what they call a vfo and you can enter a frequency or 2 and it does not go on the memory channels some have an VFO A/B which comes in handy because you can search a band from the vfo.
