FT-1802M is ok except in high RF areas like downtown Yang-Na, aka El Pueblo de Nuestra Seņora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula, aka Los Angeles, soon to be bankrupt. Now, a used Icom IC-2200H has a attenuator built into the squelch which when KWO-37 mixes with pager packets and clobbers RR electomagneticical stuff you want to hear here, crank the squelch knob CW and vanquish the 2nd order IMD, with some loss of senitivity(full disclosure).

What ever you do, even if it's voodo, be safe: Like HAM radio, railfanning is dying out, and we need all of us to con others to give up useful endeavors, like creating the next reality TV show, 4G operated sofa pillows, or how to justify another round of qualitative easing, so that that HAM Radio and railfannying will go on for ever and ever, ahmen!!!
