Has anybody out there any first hand experience with ICOM's new hand-held
receiver IC-R1?

For those of you who don't know: the IC-R1 is a communications receiver
which covers 100kHz-1300MHz. The design is similar to the IC-2S series.
It has a built-in clock and timer, 100 memory channels, search scan,
a tuning knob, S-meter, power save function and probably other features
which the ad I am looking at does not mention.
