They seemed to be aimed at HF listening. It is possible to control the receiver over a network, and therefore remotely over the internet. Please ensure that you do not undertake modifications unless you are experienced in electronics and sure that you do not put yourself at risk of injury. I'm glad I went with my gut.

Mr Murphy came to visit while I was drilling, and the large capacitor directly behind where I was drilling met the drill bit and tore a trace off the board when it came loose. Each different program has a few neat little options which will keep you interested for a day or two

For this reason, many amateurs build their own receivers or modify commercial ones. There is a form of lockup that occasionally happens in which the computer serial port apparently stops talking to the radio, and it sits there mute.
I'm not sure why the other reviewers I've read are so displeased. I cut a small piece of coper clad circuit board and glued it to the ground plane near Q I tried them all.
IMHO, if you have to take the radio to an Icom shop to have it put in, you might as well turn in your ham license!!!
PC based receivers are a new area for amateur and SWL use, and I imagine the problems with this first generation gear will eventually be resolved.
Thank you for reading. From the top showing the built in speaker.
In my opinion the PCR is the best bang for the buck pcf1000 a general coverage receiver today. They seemed to be aimed at HF listening.
Overall, having this radio and its flexibility on your computer screen is unique and using an outboard powered speaker will provide many hours of listening pleasure.

This receiver is ocom controlled. Each different program has a few neat little options which will keep you interested for a day or two Another option is to build a box that lives outside the PCR that has two antenna connectors and run a icpm line from the pcr to this box that would select the correct antenna based on the tuning range of the pcr Loads of features even in ixom cheap software.
Commercial radio receivers tend to receive in very narrow bands, and this includes the PCR I drilled a hole in the back of the radio for a chassis mount SMA connector I had on hand.
Deviation Meter - Plugs into the Baud Packet connector on pcr100 back of the radio On LF and the AM broadcast band performance is competent, but nothing to rave about. I have owned the PCR for nearly 2. Put simply the PCR is an excellent all round receiver that offers more features than the rest for less, and given good programming skills I believe that there may be many more features available yet! Each radio has it's own eprom addresses so dont try using a backup from another PCR My Subscriptions Subscriptions Help.
I rechecked connections and jumpers and all tested OK.

Links to other PCR Resources on the net: It can scan faster and lock onto tones faster then any other PCR software out there. On the other hand, if you connect a REAL antenna to this critter, batten down the hatches!
It has become more of a tool than a general coverage receiver. I have used mine over a home network, controlling things from a laptop in another room. I have had this receiver for two nights. It serves as my reference receiver, as well as my make shift spectrum analyzer. I recently added the DSP module to the rig, but haven't yet had much opportunity to play with it.
More information on TalkPCR is at http: I think this may be borne out by Icom's stupidity to release the command set to would be programmers.
