pcr1
Programs to control icom pcr-1000 receiver
Usage
pcr [options]
[{frequency | start_freq
stop_freq
freq_step}]
qpcr1k [options]
[{frequency | start_freq
stop_freq
freq_step}]
Overview
This manual page documents briefly the pcr and qpcr1k commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
pcr is a console program, and qpcr1k is an X GUI program that controls an Icome PCR-1000 receiver. That receiver is designed to be controlled via a serial port connection.
Options
A summary of options is included below.
-

Set volume, integer values from 0-99, default 70.
-
-s -
Turn on scan mode
-
-a -
Turn on AGC
-
-n -
Turn on noise blanker
-
-r -
Turn on RF Attenuator
-
-h <holdpoint> -
Set hold point, integer 0-255, default 80
-
-w <wait> -
Set wait tme, positive integers, default 5
-
-t <sqtone> -
Set tone squelch frequency
-
-q <squelch> -
Set squelch, integer 0-99, default 40
-
-f <bw> -
Set filter bandwidth, 3, 6, 15, 50, and 230, default 15 kHz
-
-p <serial_port> -
Specify port the radio is attached to, default /dev/pcr1000
-
-u <logfile> -
Switch on unattended mode, using specified log file.
-
-l <logfile> -

-
-m <mode> -
Specify mode: LSB, USB, AM, CW, NFM, WFM
These options may be followed by a frequency in MHz to tune the radio, or - if the scanning mode is set by the -s option, then start, stop frequencies in MHz and step frequency in kHZ must be specified.
Examples
Standard mode:
pcr -p/dev/ttyS0 -v70 -q40 -f15 -mnfm -w10 146.52
Scanner mode:
lower_freq = Lower frequency in megahertz
upper_freq = Upper frequency in megahertz
step_freq = Step frequency in kilohertz
pcr -p/dev/ttyS0 -v70 -q40 -f15 -mnfm -h70 -u2m.log -s 144 148 5
Replay mode:
<logfile> = File name of old log to replay
pcr -p/dev/ttyS0 -v70 -q40 -f15 -mnfm -h70 -l 2m.log
