[PCR-1000] *pathetic* PCR1000 servicing from Icom

[Don Schaefer]

I have also had bad luck with I-com being helpful in trying to get the
PCR-1000 work with windows XP.  I have talked with a number of people who have
had success in doing a clean boot, i.e. reformatting the hard drive and then
it will run on I-coms software.  I have also tried other theirs party
software, i.e. Scancat Gold, And TalkPCR also on XP and cannot get them to run
also.  While I have a big loyal fan of I.com equipment, their seeming unable
to provide software support for the latest operating systems.  I agree that
all of us should put pressure on them to at lease release their coding so
someone else could write a program that will work on XP.
