  It appears you have left off a '0' in the model number and looked up the
"lite" (read: mostly useless), albeit cheaper, version of the radio.
[PCR-100] The PCR-1000 has all common modes, filters from 500htz ->
500KHtz, and SSB sens [10dB S/N _at_ 2.8Khtz] from .56uV in the lowest
octaves to .25uV in the UHF ranges; FM [12dB SINAD _at_ 15KHtz] .5uV down to
.32uV.

   Sorry for the off topic (sorta) stuff, folks... but I didn't want
anyone to be put off if they were considering the Icom PCR-1000 as an
addition to their Toys. After a month of using it with a random
long-wire, it is one of the better radios I've owned, and certainly the
finest in the performance-to-size ratio department.

  Cheers

John
