I have a 281A that I am using for rail band reception. I have done a number of side by side tests and I am very impressed with its sensitivity and selectivity. Biggest gripes are its relatively slow scan speed, its limited 6 alphanumeric characters, and its clunky interface (typical of 2m mobiles). I am considering getting another 2m mobile for a different vhf reception setup. I am debating another 281 or something else. Preowned models are fine. I would like it to be a single band radio from Kenwood or Icom. The first thing that comes to mind is the 2300H.
Does anyone own both the Icom 2300H and the 281? If so, how do they compare?
Has anyone used the 281A and found anything better in terms of reception?
