There is a dedicated PCR1000 list at qth.net:

I think you will find some Bonito users there.

Also, this radio has a habit of loosing the contents of the EEPROM that 
holds 200+ alignment parameters. AFAIK this usually happens as a result of 
problems with the serial communication with the radio. It could be a good 
idea to make a backup of the EEPROM if you have not already done that.

Some control software, as TalkPCR among others, have a backup feature. 
There are also free backup software available, such as Patrick Massotta's 
PCRBUR that can be downloaded from
