I also have been disappointed with the support from Bonita over with
Radiocom. I originally purchased the software 4.0, then 5.0 ($$$) before
they started bundling it with the PCR1000. I ran it on a old Toshiba laptop
for a while, then later upgraded my laptop. I no longer have a serial port
on my new laptop - but installed a USB to Serial converter. This item works
on virtually every other ex-serial item I have except RadioCom. I have
written several e-mails to Bonito about the possibility of a patch or some
correction so that I can use 5.0 on a machine with a USB to Serial cable,
but have never received a reply.
Has anyone else had any success using a USB to serial converter? Got any
tricks up your sleeve on how you got it to work?

When I got my PCR 1000 with the Bonita software, the dinge thing was
missing. Bonita wanted 100.00 for it and Icom said they could not help even
though it shipped from them with Bonita SW.
I found a really good solution to my problem. I took the CD Rom out to the
back yard and used it as a Frisbee for my little Poodle to chase. She had
more fun with it than I would have if I had used it for the radio.
I DL the Icom SW from the Icom site and I love it, does just exactly what I
needed in a PC radio.
