While retaining basic features of its popular predecessor the IC-R5, the IC-R6 contains many improvements including 100 channel per second scanning speed, 1300 memory channels, 15 hours of continuous receive capability, optional drop-in charger stand and voice control squelch. 

All these new features combined with a high degree of usability means that the IC-R6 will be equally at home with any casual listener of broadcast stations or the serious scanning enthusiast seeking a pocket sized quality receiver.

If you are looking for the best AirBand  performance from the smallest  package, then the IC-R6 is it. However,  bear in mind that the lack of a numeric keypad might mean that for some users, it could be less user-friendly than Yaesu's VR-500
