PCR-1500 / R-1500 opinions?

[DaveIN]

That's interesting, does the UT-107 plug in like the UT-106, or do you know?

 

[MacombMonitor]

Does the U.S. version of the PCR-1500 cover all the MilAir bands?

Thanks!

Thank you! Not sure why I couldn't find this today...must be too much fresh air.

 

[MacombMonitor]

I order a new PCR-1500. Can't wait to check it out!

Well make sure you let us know how it goes when you get it Bill.

I am very interested in how it performs on VHF and UHF airband (especially since the R20 has the little problem around 300MHz!)

What "little problem" did the R20 have around 300MHz?

 

[Air490]

The IC-R20 exhibits a marked desensitisation between 290 and 300MHz. This is apparently where the filters change. It makes the R20 less than ideal for UHF airband DX-ing.

ic-pcr 1000 software

Now if it would just do APCO-25.

I have had the PCR-1000 for a few years and like it - just limited to what I can hear in Los Angeles where so much is digital and/or trunked.

do you know if there is software for the ic-pcr 1000 to work with windows vista
