It's time to replace the Icom software for this radio.

I haven't kept up on what's the "best" out there.. so

Any suggestions on replacement software for an Icom PCR-1000

Thanks

I have the Bonito RadioComm software for it. Not impressed by it or the
[eople that prduce it. They seem to have very liitle appreciation of customer
service. I have tried Talk PCR which is decent. But odly enough I seem to end
up back with the stuff that came on the floppy from ICOM. It's kinda clunky
but it does what I need it to do. At the moment I use it mostly as a scanner
and for searching out local frequencies. I would like to try the Sky Sweeper
software, but their demo does not function until registered and paid for. It
only does simulated functions using recordings (very clunky). I refuse to pay
first and try later. The receiver I really like, I just haven't had time to
explore its capabilites fully as of yet, but I've only had it for about 2
months

I might also add that there is some trunk tracking software available that
will at least revoce the data from the control channels on a trunk system,
but it does not actually follow any particular group or conversation at
present. However it is early days I believe in it's development. You can fid
it at:

You can also use it for conventional operation, but I find either the ICOM or
especially the TalkPCR program more useful for HF listening

Hmmm, Then I wonder what I have been listening to for the past year
or so :-)
To my knowledge, it always has....

Then I stand corrected, but I rekky haven't had time to play with ut as I
should . I have logged control channel data with it but never had it
track channels. Are you using WinXP ??

I've ran it on Win95, Win98SE2, WinME, Win2000 and WinXP and it
works great on all of those OS's... Even with a USB Adapter...
If your scanning a 800mHz system, try switching to the "Splinter" setting
under the Trunk/System Menu...

Thanks for yuor help. Microsoft offered a new audio drievr yesterday form
AC97 on board audio. I am now at least decoding control channel data and
actually tracking mobiles Problem seems to have been the audio drivers,
because after I updated them at Microsoft, the computer began to decode
control channel data and track communications. I notice that the Groups
and radio counts are no incrementing, are they saved automatically and how
do I edit the file containing this information ???

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I think Probe1k and TalkPCR
have been getting the lion's share of the attention, but there are
numerous other programs that support the 1000. Check out this page:
