3.0 out of 5 stars It's nothing special., 8 Sep 2009

This review is from: Icon-3 Multiband Radio CB FM TV-1 AIR PB Marine WB bands

If there are strong FM broadcasts in your area, up to 165 MHz, you might pull them in with this inexpensive radio. It has no memory presets. You might try it out to see whether there is enough VHF activity in your area to justify spending �60-80 on a nice set. That's about what it's good for. It's entry-level kit, worth �15 or so to see whether fancy kit is worth having.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ok on FM, but hopeless on the rest of the bands., 6 April 2011

This review is from: Icon-3 Multiband Radio CB FM TV-1 AIR PB Marine WB bands

Hopeless radio except on standard FM. The tuner bandwith is too wide in order for the unit to receive PMR/Marine and other stations selectively. If you attempt to tune to frequency 156.800 (calling channel on marine) you'll also get other channels stacked on top.
Also Airband is AM modulation but this radio is only set up for FM modulation.
The set is really only tuned for music FM banwidth.
Better to buy a dedicated radio scanner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple is better.., 17 Feb 2010

This review is from: Icon-3 Multiband Radio CB FM TV-1 AIR PB Marine WB bands

Having once owned a manual tuning airband radio,I am delighted to own this model.Reason is that I have more exspensive scanners,but when I need to quickly hear air transmissions that are in progres,then my scanners are just to slow to detect them.The benefit of a manual tuner is I can detect quicker,rather than waiting for a digital scan,& is often missed..So I can strongly recommend this radio,purely because it is a manual radio.

Not a very good buy. This item is both bulky, and has a very cheap feeling to it; this is reflected in the price. Read more
