IC-R15 - First Impressions

[bearcatrp]

If the waterfall display was added, the price would have been even higher...making it even more expensive!!!

Icom could sell 2 versions or make it a special order. When I had the 52a, was nice to use at times. I have a LAN IQ with the waterfall display. Works great.

It would be great if the Icom CS-R15 programming software was available in the US. I’m still very pleased with the R15, lots of things to learn though.

I ended up getting the RT Systems software.

As info…the desk charger was in stock at Portland HRO when I placed my order.

I want to know why it cost more than the Uniden SDS 100? Radio World in Toronto list it for $1011.00 can. where as the SDS100 is $974.00 can.??? No digital,only scans to 500mhz.

Likely a question for Radioworld. CDN dollar is also pretty weak, and maybe they’re adding an extra 25% because of you know what.

Likely for sure. I bought some parts on DigKey last week and they have started charging a 10-25% "you know what" fee as well.
