The current version RadioCom 5.2 comes on a CD-ROM with some 600MB of files
and information.
Also, it needs the BONITO-switchbox (= dongle/level converter/black-box
build into one little 9-pin adapter) to run (except version RC4.5 LIGHT
bundled with the PCR-1000).
I am using RC5.2 with PCR-1000, NRD535D and R-75 running WIN-XP-Pro.
Yes, you may have to build some adapter cables for different radios, but you
will find detailed wire-diagrams on the original CD and on their web site.
You will find the list of RadioCom dealers at www.bonito.net . The dealers
( e.g. www.computer-int.com) in the U.S. accept all major credit cards and
ship world wide.
For more details, please e-mail directly.
