By chance, is anyone using the IC-A120 for airband scanning, and if so, how does it work for you? I currently run a BCT15X in my vehicle just for airband, with an external Larsen Antenna. It works pretty well, overall it's the best mobile solution I've found for airband. However, the 15X sometimes has sensitivity & selectivity issues that can be annoying; for example, occasionally it will "hang" on frequencies that don't have any audible voice traffic, and you just hear static. (I suspect it's sometimes picking up very weak signals from far away; adjusting the squelch doesn't always help).
Anyhow I've been toying with the idea of adding a IC-A120 (likely with a Stridsberg multicoupler), maybe to scan 10-15 Memory channels (I'm assuming it has a slow scan speed), mostly for "local" airband traffic. Does anyone with personal experience using the A120, have any feedback on how it works for airband scanning when using a relatively small# of memory channels (maybe 5-15)?
