[PCR-1000] RE:PCR1000 *Bug*

[Vic/Johanna Culver]

That would be true for most 'normal' type radios -- I guess I just got
carried away with the notion that the PCR-1000 IS a software radio!  :-))
There is the radio program and there is the control program.  The hardware
is the hardware.  It is most likely a distinction without a difference when
I stop to really think about it.  No worries!

Good luck with the radio.  I certainly enjoy mine as a utility machine that
covers my ...... needs...... when traveling and as a standby companion
whilst at home.  Gotta scoot -- 8:20 TEE time!  Vic

  I use the supplied software (latest version).I've always associated "bug"
as being software related.

  You can not do anything when working from a tone squelch freq.If you are
monitoring a tone squelch freq & see some activity on your scope & click to
that freq the tone squelch stays active.

  Nothing earth-shattering here.Just something to keep in mind.

  Btw....I get the pcr1000 list in digest mode so it may take a'while for
me to see/answer a question directed too me via a post only too the list.
