[PCR-1000] PCR1000 news from dayton hamvention

[Harry Flaxman]

Ed,

The reaction tuner is 459.00.  That's more than I paid for the radio 
itself.  Might pay for the cost of both of them, just to invest in a new 
radio?  Just curious.  Maybe I didn't read their description correctly, 
but another radio would be capable of the same things without an add-on, no?
