Hi Bill,
You where saying to Michael Black;

Though, this leads me to ask, is your WinRadio supplied as an evaluation
peice, or is it off the store shelf?
Brings to mind the old days of muscle cars, where the testers got a factory
tweaked and tuned "off the assembly line" car.

Speaking of which, I stumbled on a bit of a treasure at work while digging
through an old equipment storage area (deep dark dungeon of an old old
school) a 500' spool of RG-11... stranded center conductor, nice and
flexable, compared to the rg-11/u (solid core) that we used for CCTV in
the schools.

Our system networks (each school seems to be a separate look back in
the history of cabling techniques) From RG-59 to sheilded twisted pair (gawd
I hated that stuff) to RG-58, and now we're back to unshielded twisted pair
(cat5). And then theres all the VAX stuff thats just plain twisted pair.
Back to the winradio... =)
You also mentioned its like a tank, and heavy. How does the weight affect
its sitting in a case? I use a mini-tower, and all the cards hang sideways.
Would the winradio require me to rig up some sort of support for the
"hanging" corner of the card?
