I know it sucks.  You're preaching to the choir there, pal.  Be honest?  I 
live in the United States....admittedly not far north of Mexico, but still 
within the US jurisdiction.  That help?

True.  That 200-mW of audio out is marginally equal to the output of a 
handheld scanner.  Most users of WinRadio will simply do like I did.....and 
plug in an external AMPLIFIED speaker.  No big deal there.  Matter of fact, 
you can take the output of WinRadio and pipe it right back into your 
SoundBlaster for some enhanced audio processing or just basic amplification 
without needing an additional speaker.

Most of the world thinks "coco" is something you use to make chocolate milk. 
Others think it is a beach in Florida.
