[PCR-1000] Powermate for tuning PCR-1000

[Randy Perretta]

Hi,

I just got the PCR-1000 and am selling my R-71 as I live on a 
mountaintop with no-electricity and it's a low current 12v thing plus 
it's tons of fun. Anyway, I didn't want to do the laptop lug either so 
I went to the local electronics swap meet and found a cheapo ($85) HP 
Omnibook 800 which is about half the size of a laptop and fits along 
with the PCR-1000 in the laptop part of a laptop bag. It runs the s/w 
just fine and doesn't plug in (of course).

Fujitsu makes a similar little box - both are bigger than a pocket PC 
and smaller than a laptop.

Now off to the homestead to try the arrow key PowerMate trick...

Regards,

Randy Perretta
