Is the scan rate the only thing that determines if it is a scanner or a
receiver?
It does scan but slowly.

That right. Icom, by their own admissions, make high end receivers. They
have no interest in competing with Uniden and Radio Shack.

I didn't say it was a scanner. Everyone knows Icom can't build a
scanner...their scan is way to slow.

Why would you expect trunking and digital? It's not a scanner.
