what kind of distance can the average hand held scanner pick up signals, i have the ic-r5 and a GRE PSR-282.between 20 and 40 miles is the best i think i can listen up to,as i can hear Birmingham uk airport approach and tower

All dependent on:

- Scanner Antenna
- Transmitter power
- Atmospheric conditions

Yeah, like Bezking said, it really depends on so many variables that your question can't really be answered accurately.
