Mike (Wy6K):
For another simple (but powerful) program to try, I would suggestthat you look in the PCR1000 files section for a ZIP file namedPcrMC98.ZIP. It contains the latest version of the program that Iwrote a while ago. It is FREE, so please give it a try.  If you like it,keep on using it.  If not, nothing spent, nothing lost !!  The weakestpart is the lack of a HELP file.  Instead, I put all of  my work intothe program itself, and did my best to make it self-explanatory. There are actually two executables included in this ZIPfile. The first,PcrMC.exe is a DOS text-only version . . . it represents my originalprogram development. Much later in the development cycle, Idecided to implement the same capabilities in a DOS 640x480graphical version as PcrMC-SA.exe.
Both of these run very well under multiple versions of Windows(Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2K, WinXP). I have not personallytested it in Vista, but it runs great under Windows 7. InWindows 7 & earlier versions, PcrMC.exe will run eitherfull-screen or in a DOS window. Also in Windows 7 & earlierversions, PcrMC-SA.exe will only run full-screen (this is aWindows restriction, not a restriction of the program).  InWindows 10, either program works GREAT as its own windowrunning under DOSBox 0.74(<https://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/>) !! Either executable can act as a very powerful scanner. In addition, thePcrMC-SA executable performs as a very good spectrum analyzer. The basic syntax to run the program is as follows:   pcrmc[-sa]  [ -com1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ] [ -fast ] [ -debug ] [ filename ] Note that all command-line options are case-insensitive. [ -com1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ] : you can specify the COM port on the command-line to override that which is recorded in the PCRMC.INI file. [ -fast ] : this will skip the pause on the "HELP" screen as the programis started up. [ -debug ] : this will cause a PCRMC.DBG file to be created that willcontain time-stamped entries for each command sent to the PCR-1000and each status returned from the PCR-1000. Note that when thereceiver is used as a scanner, this debug file can grow quite large intime !! Be aware of the disk-space requirements by running this fora long time. [ filename ] : you can specify the "program" file that you'd likePcrMC to initialize with upon startup (it is not necessary to also specifythe file extension as this is assumed to be .PGM). See some of theincluded "program" files for examples of how to make use of thepowerful capabilities within the PCR-1000 that Icom's includedWindows program woefully ignores and/or hides from us !! Good luck & let me know what you like/dislike.  It's been quite awhile
since I worked on it, but updates are not necessarily out of the question.
I definitely still use it all of the time.  Even though it works especially
well on very old (DOS-only) PCs (since that is what it was originally
developed for), it works equally well under Windows (see above).
 A couple of notes that may prove very useful are as follows:
ALT-H shows a help screen (the closest thing there is to a HELP file !!)
ALT-A goes into "automatic" (demo) mode which will let you exercise
          all of the program features even without your PCR-1000 attachedALT-P starts/stops "program" modeALT-S starts/stops "scan" mode
ALT-Q quit without saving configuration
ALT-X exit & save current configuration
 Pressing any of the selection keys (for example, O for mode) will cause
that field to blink, indicating the selection that can be controlled using
the up/down and/or left/right arrow keys to change the selection.  Press
the ENTER key to complete the selection for that field.
 Frequency information can be entered anytime that no other fields are
already active (pressing F first is not absolutely necessary).  When
entering frequency information, you can also use the backspace key to
make corrections.  As well, you can use the ESCAPE key prior to
hitting the ENTER key in order to discard any frequency changes made
and return to the previous frequency setting.
 Some keys take effect immediately (typically those that alternate
between two settings) such as G for AGC on/off, B for NB on/off, etc.
Some keys have multiple functions (but with related control) such as
P for bandscope...pressing P once will let you select the bandscope
speed...pressing P again while the bandscope selection is active will
change the bandscope vertical resolution multiplier.
 Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions, comments, and/or
suggestions for improvements.
 Have fun !!

 Hmm, I can't find pcrtalk to download. There are several links to "Pete's" page, but that page is gone now. I found one site that says it will let me download PCRtalk 2.99 - I'm a little afraid to download from it since I don't know anything about that site.
Do you know how I can download PCRTalk 3.0?

Mine quit after a power surge during a nearby thunderstorm.
