Do the various 3rd party software versions do anything that the official Icom version does not do? What is the best software to use with the PCR1000? I have read about TalkPCR but the links to the software are dead and its not been supported for years. RX sensitivity is good especially using the narrow 6KHz filter on VHF/UHF and the radio appears to be spot on frequency.not bad for a 20 year old radio. It worked first time.and the PCR1000 also has the UT-106 DSP option unit installed I'm surprized how well the PCR1000 works using a 10m dipole on HF and a 2/70cms colinear on VHF/UHF. I have a "collection" of older laptops so installed the official Icom software (which I downloaded from Icoms website) on an XP machine with a real serial port. It was just the black box and serial lead, no other accessories.
