[PCR-1000] Win XP and Icom Software

Fri, 26 Apr 2002 15:25:11 -0400

Harry,

If it is Radiocom but not Radiocomm that UK sites are bundling with
pcr-1000, it is definitely a big deal to us.  Radiocom has many great
and useful features.  It also has a software (sound card based) DSP
function, which could possibly substitute or even outperform icom DSP
module.  For the price of more than half of pcr-1000, I wouldn't buy it
separately.  But it will certainly be great if we can get it together with
pcr-1000!
