The Icom and Bonmito software suck.
The Icom software will operate under XP.
There are seveal 3rt party,freeware, packages
for the PCR1000 that are outstanding.
Download the icom software from the web and burn
it to a CD and install.

Ham Radio can be found at http://hrd.ham-radio.ch/
Very nice program.

The PCR1000 is a fairly decent VHFlo/VHFhi/UHF scanner.
On HF and MW it is maybe OK. Prone to overload, so add
an external attenuator.
A radio shack antenna will work fairly well on SW/HF for
international broadasters. For serious DX or utility a
preslector is an almost must have.

The DSP is nice on HF.

Why not a TenTec RX320?

I don't know. I'm Googling it right now. Thanks!

The RX320 is superior on the PCR-1000but only has HF.
For HF I would recommend a JRC NRD-535 and computer controll it if you
want to.
The PCR-1000 is fine on VHF/ UHF.
Another good overall performer is the AOR AR-5000

Wellllllll....the RX320D can be modified (simply, IIRC) into a decent
MW / BCB receiver. The RX320D comes with 500Khz to 30 MHz,
again "IIRC."
