It appears you have left off a '0' in the model number and looked up the
"lite" (read: mostly useless), albeit cheaper, version of the radio.
[PCR-100] The PCR-1000 has all common modes, filters from 500htz ->
500KHtz, and SSB sens [10dB S/N @ 2.8Khtz] from .56uV in the lowest
octaves to .25uV in the UHF ranges; FM [12dB SINAD @ 15KHtz] .5uV down to
.32uV.
Sorry for the off topic (sorta) stuff, folks... but I didn't want
anyone to be put off if they were considering the Icom PCR-1000 as an
addition to their Toys. After a month of using it with a random
long-wire, it is one of the better radios I've owned, and certainly the
finest in the performance-to-size ratio department.
Cheers

Off Topic: Shortwave radios. I have gotten hold
of an ICOM PCR-1000,
which is the actual 'radio' parts of a modern full-coverage receiver,
www.icomamerica.com and look in 'recievers' for more info.
I checked on it and by my standards, mostly useless. It would
have to be very quiet to make a ~2uV senstivity useful and it has
no SSB/ISB capability.
