I am looking for a scanner comparable in quality to the ICOM A6, but
without the transmit option (which will hopefully be cheaper).

We've had this thing running in our lobby for years. The aviation interrupt
feature is really nice.

You can use it as a straight scanner, and it's got the option to hook up an
external antenna. I've been very pleased with it, and it's amazingly
inexpensive at 0.1 AMUs.
