I'm considering having an 10.7 IF tap installed on a PCR-100. If I feed that out to my SDR-IQ antenna input and tune the SDR to 10.7 MHz, I should see be able to receive anything the PCR-100 is tuned to, on the SDR correct?
I'm working on the same lines with a project to add a SoftRock SDR to my NRD515 HF receiver at the 455kHz IF before the filters. Work in progress......
For added motivation, watch this video. This guy has already done the modification and uses an excalibur to demonstrate.

With the SDR-IQ and the PCR-100 you might be able to get a little limited control of the PCR using SPectraVue. I know SpectraVue supports control of some Icom radios, and I know the control sets for many Icoms are the same with the exception of the ID.
T!
I'm not sure how I'd have the SDR control the PCR-100 since the one serial interface on the PCR-100 must be used to control the unit from the software interface (in this case, TalkPCR).
What I'm most looking forward to is a more efficient means of signal "stalking" for intermittant transmissions above 30 MHz.
I think I may see if can also have the discriminator tapped at the same time so I can use TrunkPCR with it as well...
