Just curious if anyone has made the switch from a Yaesu FT270R to a Motorola portable radio. I use my Yaesu as a scanner hooked up to a gain antenna to monitor rail traffic in the area. It blows my old Uniden scanner out of the water, however it cannot receive narrowband. Thus after Jan 1st the radio will still work but volume will be compromised. I was considering buying a Motorola Spectra off ebay and having it programmed to receieve only, by a place here in Baltimore. How much better is the RF selectivity on a Motorola radio vs the Yaesu I have now?
