[PCR-1000] PCR-1000 and Radiocom 4.0

Wed, 18 Sep 2002 09:44:27 -0700

I have used, with much discontent, the Bonito software, which, in the end,
corrupted my EEPROM.  Before I realized that it is one of the highest
necessities to back up the EEPROM data, I had to pay $150.00US to re-align the
radio.  Bonito effectively wipes their collective hands after you purchase
their software, which does not do what it purports.  Funny thing: Icom charged
me for receiver alignment, because I used third party software !  GET A CLUE. 
The software is garbage.  CAVIAT EMPTOR !!
