[PCR-1000] RE: PCR-1000 Digest, Vol 11, Issue 1

[R. J. Grasser]

Im sure the rcvr will be "around", but after all existing stock is sold; its
history.  Besides, theres no "real" tech support for it.  Remember what ICOM
did to the PCR-100.  ICOM's tarnished reputation, has only been reinforced
by this fiasco; and thats not just my opinion.

It might "hold its price" on places like Ebay which is loaded with "nutsos",
but anyone who knows about the random EPROM trashing, wouldnt touch it. :(

If you want to spend $6,000.00, then look at the intercept rcvrs from
Watkins Johnson, and Scientific Communications.  I picked up a rack full of
this stuff at auction when Rome AFB closed down some 15 years ago.
Fantastic military gear!! :-)

My pals at Yaesu USA are very tight-lipped about their plans, but the
rumours persist in many areas.  There has to be something going on. ;-)

73's Joe....
