Dear All, During the past week, around 60 people e-mailed me to request a copy of my VB program to control the PCR1000. Thank you all very much !!! So, as promised here it is (see attached file ip1k.zip). In it, you will find the complete program, including the source code. There are actually two versions, the first one in the "ip1k" folder and the second one in the "small" folder. Both versions have exactly the same program but the GUI is different. You might like the one in the "small" folder better, that is why I included it. Because I am using COM3 on my PC, it is hardcoded in the program (ip1k.exe). But for convenience and for folks who don't have the VB compiler handy, I have created two other executable files for COM1 and COM2, respectively ip1k_1.exe and ip1k_2.exe, in each folder. COUPLE OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN USING THIS PROGRAM : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * First backup your EEPROM. I never had any problem with mine, but better safe than sorry. * This is only the first version, so it's not so advanced. Hopefully, within a month or two, I'll come up with something better. * Sorry for the lack of comments in the source code. * The signal meter is not accurate. Don't rely on it. * Remember, you can use the keyboard to operate the radio. Page up (or "U") will go up the frequency, Page down (or "D") will go down. Insert key will switch the radio on. Delete key will switch the radio off. Escape key will exit. Look at the code for more... I am already working on the next version :-) My top priorities are : - Memory, organized into banks for easy retrieval. - Load frequency files, with display of alpha tag name (CSV, or Excel format, or ?). - Keypad for easy tuning. - Options page for configuration stuff (no more hardcoding). SO PLEASE HELP ME !!! I would appreciate your questions, comments, suggestions, ideas... Let's share our code. JJ in Tokyo, Japan.
