I would strongly consider moving away from the Bonito software to either
scancat or scanstar control software for the PCR-1000.  I have two of =
them,
and the Bonito software hammered the EEPROM in my first unit, and it =
cost me
US150.00 to be repaired.  Funny thing... Icom charged me because I used
third party software... Now they ship it !  Caveat Emptor !

Received my PCR-1000 last Friday and it came with a serial cable, also =
no
problems with Bonito software, however it did not come with the audio =
cable
to connect the PCR-1000 to the sound card.

I've been looking for the 6146's as well no luck as yet.

Hi Gang,

Well, I made another giant leap into the digital age with a Icom PCR =
1000
receiver.

I have some questions about it's operation.

This one has the Bonito software with it but it did not have the =
connection
cable from the 1000 to the PC. Icom told me that it was a standard 9 pin =
RS
232 cable so I got one from office Depot today.

The software gets an error and says it cannot find the receiver. I =
removed
and reinstalled about 6 times and the same thing.

I DL the Icom software from their site set the software to Com 2 and it
works.

The software that came with it still will not.

Anyone run into this before?

Since it does not use 6146's I am kinda lost..

Thanks
