qpcr1k(1)

NAME

icomlib - programs to control Icom PCR-1000 receiver

SYNOPSIS

pcr [options] [frequency | start_freq stop_freq freq_step]
qpcr1k [options] [frequency | start_freq stop_freq freq_step]

DESCRIPTION

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.

-v <vol>

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>

Switch on replay mode, using specified 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

SEE ALSO

pcrd(1), rx320(1).

Other pacakges that can control the radio use hamlib: grip, sgcontrol, hamlib-utils.

The programs are documented fully by icomlib-doc, available as a debian package.
