[PCR-1000] VB program to control the PCR1000 + source code - ENJOY & HAVE FUN...

[JJ Risch]

Dear All,

During the past week, around 60 people e-mailed me to request a copy of =
my VB program to control the PCR1000. Thank you all very much !!!
So, as promised here it is (see attached file ip1k.zip). In it, you will =
find the complete program, including the source code. There are actually =
two versions, the first one in the "ip1k" folder and the second one in =
the "small" folder. Both versions have exactly the same program but the =
GUI is different. You might like the one in the "small" folder better, =
that is why I included it.
Because I am using COM3 on my PC, it is hardcoded in the program =
(ip1k.exe). But for convenience and for folks who don't have the VB =
compiler handy, I have created two other executable files for COM1 and =
COM2, respectively ip1k_1.exe and ip1k_2.exe, in each folder.

COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN USING THIS PROGRAM :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------------------------------------

* First backup your EEPROM. I never had any problem with mine, but =
better safe than sorry.
* This is only the first version, so it's not so advanced. Hopefully, =
within a month or two, I'll come up with something better.
* Sorry for the lack of comments in the source code.
* The signal meter is not accurate. Don't rely on it.
* Remember, you can use the keyboard to operate the radio. Page up (or =
"U") will go up the frequency, Page down (or "D") will go down. Insert =
key will switch the radio on. Delete key will switch the radio off. =
Escape key will exit. Look at the code for more...

I am already working on the next version :-)
My top priorities are :
- Memory, organized into banks for easy retrieval.
- Load frequency files, with display of alpha tag name (CSV, or Excel =
format, or ?).
- Keypad for easy tuning.
- Options page for configuration stuff (no more hardcoding).

SO PLEASE HELP ME !!!

I would appreciate your questions, comments, suggestions, ideas...

Let's share our code.
