Since you've never released the software for the radios you've already
written it for it would be hard to say. I have been watching your site for
nearly a year, and contacted you about it 7 or 8 months ago, but have seen
nothing.

There is a program called ERGO that was originally written for the AOR
AR7030 and has since been expanded to included Drake, WJ, TEN-TEC and NRD
brand radios.

The new version 4.0 is in beta, and is being tested by registered ERGO 3
users. It has built in capability to control any of the above radios from
anywere on the internet with a client - server setup. It includes VERY
flexible database capabilities which also work over the internet. Although
it is in beta, and needs some work, it works for me with my AR7030. It of
course allows only one person (the owner of the software) to control the
radio. It can also control one remote and one local radio at the same time
(not tested by me).

The best part about this version of ERGO, is that when it is released, John
plans on releasing the info needed to write add-in modules so it can control
any radio. So far, all radios share a common interface with all of a radios
particular controls programmed into a module. I see no reason a PCR1000
module could not be created. (I am also hoping to create a module for my
Icom R75).
