I used to have a PCR-1000 a long time ago.  It had its problems (I
remember it had some problems with strong signals) but overall I liked
it.  I picked up that PCR-100 and got sidetracked on other things so I
haven't really ever had it hooked up.  I am anxious to see what the IF
looks like in PowerSDR... It looks like the 10.7 MHz IF is about 200
kHz wide if I remember correctly.  I wonder how far along the 10.7 MHz
Odyssey Siren is?  It might be easier just to find a 42.8(ish) MHz
crystal for a SoftRock...
