[PCR-1000] first experience with a PCR1000

The extra 9.6% or so is for "Entertainment Tax" because the FM band is
classified as a source of entertainment which has a separate, additional
tax. In France, all devices that can receive in this range are taxed in this
manner...probably the same with TV and MW RXs.

... Bought in Germany, far cheaper than in France, no customs, no French
VAT, thanks to EEC. (For some reasons, in France, when a receiver is able to
receive the FM band (88-107), the VAT is 19.6%, instead of some 10%. go
figure)...
