[PCR-1000] What I use with my PCR 1000.

[R. J. Grasser]

Glenn,

The DSP module makes a considerable difference.

You might also want to add a preselector for anything below 50 Mhz, as the
broadband frontend of the 1000 tends to demod all sorts of images, spurs,
harmonics, etc.

Using Bonito, I  decode CW, RTTY, FAX, and PSK.  For weather satellites
(APT), I use the WXTOIMG software (free).

Regards, RJ
