[PCR-1000] Win XP and Icom Software

[Adrian Skerratt]

Bill and Harry

Icom UK are actually bundling Radiocom Version 4 which doesn't come with 
the DSP. I guess they still want people to buy the DSP card!

Radiocom seems to orientated towards HF data decoding stuff (FAX/RTTY/CW) 
but I'm not sure if its a "generic scanner" kind of program. There is a 
demo here: (go to the Radiocom 4.0 link)

http://www.bonito.net/bonito/gbindex.htm

but its only a rolling demo showing RTTY/FAX/CW/SSTV decoding. It doesn't 
actually talk to your PCR1000.

I bought my PCR1000 over here in the UK just over a month ago, without 
Radiocom, so like everybody else I'm hoping ICOM are going to provide a 
copy for existing users.
