Re; Weapons of Choice

Post by phred »

Anyone here use or used an Icom IC-PCR1000 ?
Got one with a discone (I think) Ae.
Yet to be setup.
The think links up with software on your PC so partly used the PC processing power to run it.
Worked well last time I used it, interface is a little dated though.

Cheers,

dont get too excited. its likely a UHF model - they're fairly common around the traps and are actually legal to use on UHF CB as long as the power is turned down to 5W.
