I would certainly not recommend any of this series.
Icom PC Controlled Receiver: IC-PCR1500
This stainless steel antenna is 5. This might be a good option for somebody who wants to mount the R unit away from the computer and use a shorter coax cable pcg1500 less signal loss, maybe in a roof or somewhere like that.
The selectable filters are nice, but I would have liked have seen a fuller range audio across the board. I tried for days to get the Bonito software to talk to the without success. As far as receiver performance - it is excellent, it really can receive anything and everything that is out there. Copyright Universal Radio, Inc.
The discone design offers the best performance possible in an omni-directional antenna. Wish I had looked at the Icom specs. Up to 25 channel activities can be observed on the multi-channel monitor screen at a glance.
Test aerial - This is a telescopic whip on with a base that has double sided tape and a few meters of coax, I used it for a while and seemed to work ok but you really need to use an external aerial to get the most from it.
The radio has the DSP option installed, which I think is not of much ciom. This provides compatibility with many computer models, even laptops. The software in general is good but a few of the features seem to not quite work as they should, the scope feature seems to cause the radio to drop it's audio and the record feature does not work at all, if these are issues with the software or I have not got them setup right I don't know.
I then tried the Icom software, it worked okay but was full of bugs, and quite restricted in functionality. I enjoy, in particular, MW and SW use of the radio.
I thought it was me, but then I looked at the reviews for the Bonito software here iocm eHam, and everyone says the same thing. My Subscriptions Subscriptions Help.
The latest firmware and software has made ucom receiver really functional and a joy to use with a PC. The IC-PCR model is the same as above, but without the cellular and other gaps and was available for Federal government or for export only. I installed the latest firmware into the receiver, and loaded the latest control software onto the PC, and wow Once you get used to using the control head, it is hard to see why you need the computer if you aren't going to use it for scanning memory banks, etc.
It stayed there in the closet many years, maybe 8 years. I wonder if the built-in downconverter for the higher frequencies has any kind of attenuation effect on other frequency ranges? Same antenna and cable as the Yaesu. See specifications for exact coverage. There are nights when I can barely get a MW lcom on other receivers that I get a solid copy signal virtually every 10 KHZ with this radio.
PC use The first step to getting the R working with a PC is to install the software and driver that comes on the enclosed CD, this is a simple process for anybody who cpr1500 ever installed software before and only takes a couple of seconds to install.
I tried a little bit of HF using the laptop to control it but I was getting too much RFI from my laptop to make it worth listening. Incredible coverage is yours with reception from 10 kHz to MHz less cellular and minor gaps. I also had a bit of a listen to HF with about 20m of wire hanging between my car and a tree up there and it seemed to work ok, I did notice some broadcast band signals between 2MHz and 30Mhz but I guess given where I was that is not really unexpected.
So over all I am quite happy with it.

In my experience and for my use, this radio is a solid winner. New to Ham Radio? Not all the features that you can use via the PC are supported on the remote head but there are enough to keep you busy for quite a while. After a few days use I iicom it back in its box and kept in storage in a closet. According ifom the S-Meter level, each channel status is visually displayed by three background colors.
