It is very possible that my antenna setup is bad. It is a cheap one given to mey by the people at RadioWorld when I bought the scanner. Will try with the better setup, the one I use for the SONY. BTW I lokked up your model on the ICOM site and realized that is a transreceiver. That may be a problem with our friends at Pearson. I have taken wlkie-talkies and marine hand-held transreceivers but never an air frquency transreveiver. I would not say anything to them, and if they ask say it is a walkie-talkie. It might be wise to disconnect the antenna so when they see a "spike" on the xray they would look at it alone, without the radio. The less opportunity for them to handle it the better.
