I just can't see how an Icom can be a good portable to have, All banks or
one bank, how is this pratical? I realise otherwise it might be a great
reciever but I just couldn't get past the limitations...

Well, I like it for that very reason - overall, it receives better than
anything I have.
Other good points:
- crisp, clear audio
- 2 AA batteries that last forever
- compact package with a short duckie
- 18 dynamic banks - build your own banks on the fly!
- really wide coverage - medium wave to microwave
- did I mention the hot receiver?
I couldn't have it as my only scanner, but it most definitely has it's
place.

I said you needed Train Dispatcher 2. You don't need TD3 or TB3 unless you want to build layouts....if you join the ATCS_Monitor group on Yahoogroups, they have a files section where people contribute their files, you can download whatever you need. I put a couple of Toronto lay files in there, also have the Bala Subdivision and the TH+B Hamilton area worked out if anyone wants 'em. Of course, if you like playing Train Dispatcher, I have a killer layout file for Toronto Union Station with the entire afternoon rush hour programmed in.....enough to tear your hair out :-) PS - never did say thanks to Bryan and his spouse for letting us invade his place, tie up his phone, terroise his cat, etc:-) Great evening!

If you're used to what Uniden has convinced you is a good scanner, then by all means stick with what you know. Just because its of no use to you doesn't make it bad. I kind of like my scanners not tell me whats worth listening to like Unidens do, having these impractical and sometimes insulting band limits. The R2 and R5 are full coverage from 500 kHz to 2 gHz. I could go on and on. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Your use of Yahoo!
