I'll let others respond to your other questions.
I have a PCR-1000 that I used primarily for the 2.4 GHz downlink along
with a TranSys downconverter. The PCR-1000 is a box about the size of a
paperback book and has only a power switch on the front and antenna,
power, serial data, and external speaker jacks on the back. There is no
way to control it without a computer. It works quite well. I found
that I do not like having no VFO, but it was not too bad. Overall, I am
very happy with the receiver. I have used it for a few other things,
but primarily it was the AO-40 receiver.
