World's Most Advanced Portable TV
Eric Schlaepfer writes "Here's another great toy for your wish list! ICOM manufactures the highly advanced IC-R3 portable scanner/television set. Besides picking up radio stations in the frequency range of 0.495-2450MHz, the IC-R3 also receives regular television signals, amateur television, and wireless security camera signals."
...I don't think I saw anything mentioned in the article, but the picture I saw of this device made it look like it had a built-in pen.
Is this a standard feature? I remember many a time I've been watching pronography and have said to myself:
"Damn. I need a pen! I should be taking notes on this!"
If this TV has a built in pen, it's perfect for me!

Well . It's good to see Americans are making Tv's again.
The IC-R3 has 400 memory channels to store your most frequency used channels.>/i?
What the hell is a frequency used channel? Is it the frequency one uses frequently?

It said amateur television didn't it? Whats the late night showing of Reform School Girls if not amateur television?

I used to own an early model Icom PCR1000 - nice receiver, could hear cell bands, but WHO THE HELL CARES? You get to hear the cell site side of a two way conversation and its usually some yokel who can't afford a digital phone trying to rig a meeting with his girlfriend while his wife is at the grocery store.
Don't violate the FCC's rules to listen to crap like that - just use the thing to tune in to Jerry Springer and you'll see the results of what happens when people make calls on analog cellular.
I am very easy to get along with, but I don't have time to waste being nice to people who are being stupid. -Theo
