The icom icr 705 is as sensitive as the 8600 plus portable Bluetooth GPS for half the money

I have both, apples to oranges.

The price of the above is still prohibitive to most and the IC 705 is around £1399 even with its cut down receivable frequencies, people will end up using an SDR Radio which may be fantastic but is let down by appalling/lack of SW from the vendors- especially if you are a Mac user.

@@steveblanchard7293 I'm about to hook up a new SDR. If that's good, I'll use a second one for trunk scanning, which this radio cannot do. If there's a problem with that, this radio is my Plan B. Far as I know the proper software is available for my Linux system. If so, your Mac is also supported.
