The box the PCR1000 comes in is better than the PCR1000...


If you still have your PCR1000, keep the box and send me the
radio.

For some specialised tasks the PCR1000 may have some utility.
I have, and I am continueing to, developed lists of frequencies
for special events.
T-storm/tornado/flooding, winter snow events, eathquake,
Madison county nerve agent leak, aircraft crash etc.
Most have freqs in the VHF/UHF range, but some are down in HF.

While any radio with a computer control would be useable for this
idea, I happen to have a PCR1000. It's wide range is usefull for
this project.

Would I spend $500 on a new PCR1000?
No F-ing way. Please note my comment:
"With these outboard additions the PCR1000 becomes a much usefull
HF/LF receiver. Not in the league of a "real" SW receiver, but
much better then it comes out of the box. "

I would love to have an AOR AR7030+. The PC control is much
better. The noise floor rivals a R390 and it is a very good
radio. A friend loaned me hers AOR while she finishes graduation
and sells the family farm. I guess I will have it a month or
so. And it is great! I would be tempted to sell my left nu, er,
kidney. Even in my fairly high RF wastland, it is GREAT!

PCR1000, odd toy, but I will still accept yours for storage.
No charge either.

Now you know why I am up at 3:00EDT(8:00UTC)
