However, this IS rec.radio.scanner -- not rec.radio.shortwave, and Passport's
'Verdict' section on the icom says "Among tested PC-controlled receivers, the
Japanese-made Icom IC-PCR1000 is the most appropriate for wideband frequency
coverage." -- which kind of sounds like what a rec.radio.scanner questioner
would be interested in...

Indeed. In such case I would have however recommend the WinRadio
WR-1550e. I happen to own this model also, and in my experience it
runs circles around the PCR 1000.

You might indeed recommend it, but Passport did not... [the original question?]
