No, Mr. Larsson, I did not get a WinRadio for free and I have no financial 
affiliations with the company.  Now then.....if you enjoy participating on 
this echo, you will cease and desist from innuendo and inflammatory 
accusations.  I will not warn you again.  Do it again, and your privileges to 
enjoy this echo will be revoked.  Permanently.  Understand?

That may well be.  Scanners, however, cannot be made into "spectrum 
analyzers".

No.  This thread with you is terminated.  You are free to believe whatever 
you wish.  You are not free to exert ill-prepared, uninformed opinion, laced 
with barbs and attacks.
I will simply direct you to Rosetta Laboratories for clarification of any 
technical issues you have with respect to their RF Spectrum Scope and 
WinRadio. Take that information from the "horse's mouth" and compare it to 
anything else that's out there.....preferably from another 'horse's mouth'.  
Do with the information as you see fit.
Be careful.....i.e., cautious with what you do with it here.  Keep 
personality out of it, and you may go far.  Inject personal negativity, and 
you're out.
