Comparing Airband reception quality on several different radios.

One of the most common questions on radio reviews, or in FB groups, about HTs that receive Airband, is: "how is the quality of reception?"
There are varied opinions about this- some say great, others say terrible, and then some on the middle.
I have the opportunity to have several HTs that receive Airband, so I decided to record each of them (compared to a standard RS scanner) and YOU can judge for yourselves! Each radio is connected to the same outdoor antenna, and is set to the same frequencies.
Compare audio reception, and make up your own mind!

Please note YOUR results may be very different from mine!!
