Been saying that for years on this newsgroup. The PCR-1000 isn't a bad
VHF/UHF receiver, but practically useless on MW and SW. Also suffers from
way too much intermod and computer "hash" and you still may not get rid of
it even after lots of troubleshooting. Know many people who have bought new
computer systems just to get their PCR-1000s working halfway decent.

Best thing to do is buy both a dedicated VHF/UHF scanner and a dedicated SW
receiver if you want decent receiver performance.

So far, I'd say that it is a great VHF/UHF receiver, but for shortwave it
has limitations.
