Re: VR-500 vs. Icom R5

I have and have had a number of other scanners and SW radios but I am 
not all that familiar with the R5. Some radios do one or more things 
better but not collectively everything. While I often use another SW at 
home for serious use I would never give up my VR-500 for portable use or 
travel. It's small enough to get lost in a pocket and capable of 
listening to anything I may want. That's just my opinion and if anything 
ever happens to it I'd buy another.
