I haven't been hiding anywhere. I just never looked into these radios
until now.

Maybe only with third party software, on which Icom is now relying
entirely.


So are you saying that there is software out there for trunking?

I have both PCR1000 and WR1550e, and the Icom has been collecting dust
since I acquired the WinRadio - much better.


Then you should sell me the Icom for cheap :) Say $200


David I guess your no answer means that you dont want to take me up on
my offer.


I do actually. :-) Your post did remind me that I planned to get rid
of it. I no longer use it. But I think I'd prefer to do it via eBay. I
am going away for a few days and will do it upon my return.

Why bother with ebay when it will just cost you money to place the add?
I can do paypal or postal money order if you like.

flawlessly on the same XP machine. I've tried other software programs
and always ended up going back to the icom software. With the DSP
module installed and a discone antenna the Icom is hard to beat.




Same experience here for the most part. Same os etc. etc. I was intersted
in your comment about the UT-106. For the most aprt any info I couild find
about it indicated it was a waste of money in the PCR-1000. I would
apprecite comments pro and con about this device as I have not purchaed
one based on all the negative comment I have found regarding it.

If you prefer BC-listening on shortwave this thing is real nice for its
multi-tone automatic notch and a steal for its price compared to DSP
based filters having this feature.
The noice cancelling function was not very impressive IMHO.

Sadly it lacks of peak, doublepeak and passband filtering for digital modes.

Take your choice.

PS: no need for x-post, f'up set.

Howdy Panzer, the UT-106 is worth every cent. I was reluctant and waited
before buying one. But now I'm really glad I did. I wouldn't live w/o it
now. It makes listening a real pleasure and much less of chore. It makes
your noise level completely adjustable and really does work. Before I
bought one, I looked into other dsp software options etc, & noticed that all
the bad I had heard was from someone trying to sell me something else. You
won't regret buying the UT-106. IMHO

I'll tell you it was a waste of my time. Rained all freaking day long
and most of the outside vendors were closed. I walked around inside for
a little bit, picked up an R5 and left. One thing I can never understand
about hamfests is the smell of some of the people. Do these smelly guys
spend all there money on radios and cant afford soap?
