As i wrote earlier it's rev 1.31...
I dont know why it works with my computer under Windows XP, but
i wont complain :-)
I installed it and was going to change the ini-file to NOT use the toolbar,
but i tried to start it anyways... and it just started... no problems.
I have tried to move the toolbar around to see if that would cause any
problems
but it did'nt.
Perhaps it have something to do with me using "home" and not "pro" XP??
Well... anyhow, at their webpages they say that the pcr1k now comes with the
RadioCom software from Bonito... The funny thing is that that program
corrupted my eeprom one year ago. And RC wont work with my win 2k pro
either! I have not tested RC with XP, and i dont think i will.

(sorry for my bad spelling... english is not my "first language")
