Icom PCR 100 Computer Receiver ?? ever used one ??
Anyone know if these are any good???
also do any one know how much they cost and where i may buy a new one in the
UK ??


The IC-PCR100 is an intelligent PC-based radio scanner that lets you tap
into the entire world of radio communications. Controlled from a small,
sleek black box and easily installed, the IC-PCR100 allows you to monitor a
wide range of communications and all from your PC!


0.010 - 1300.000 MHz

WFM, FM, AM modes

1000 channels per file

Tuning Steps: 1, 5, 6.25, 9, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100, 500 kHz and
1 MHz

I have had one for years..along with the PCR-1000... The PCR-100 was located
on a hilltop, remote controlled with it's audio sent back to the studio..
It works pretty well, not the best radio..but certainly worth the money. The
PCR-1000 is a VERY nice RCVR..with SSB capabilities....both are
"keepers"....Eddie

I used a 1000 for awhile. I loved the performance of the unit. Using the 3rd
party software was fantastic, much more so that the supplied ICOM
application.

But as far as the 100, never used it. Just keep in mind using a PC to
control a unit like that was kinda novel, but make sure the PC doe not ooze
RF from it.

I have a similar potential application. How far away was the hilltop, and
how did you perform the control and getting the audio back?

Control it with "PC Anywhere" or "VNC". I shipped the audio back over a
service channel on the T-1 shelf..but you could do it with "SpeakEasy". It
worked very well as the scanner was set up at our FM transmitter site on a
discone antenna. The hilltop is 2800 ft and overlooks the Los ANgeles area.
The 5KW signal on the FM band didnt really bother the PCR-100 for the most
part. We are the ONLY ones on the hilltop and theres no commercial or paging
transmitters there. The only amatuer stuff up there is my remote
base...Eddie
