Yo! Dudes and Dudettes:
Anyone ever hear of WinRadio?  It's new.  It looks slicker than snake snot on 
greased ice.  And I have one coming.....should be here in a few days.
For those not in the know.....WinRadio is a world-class, all-band receiver 
that plugs into an AT-slot in your PC and is fully controlled by the computer 
and the provided software.  Included below is the text from the WinRadio 
brochure.
After I have had a chance to play with the unit, I will be glad to do an 
evaluation of WinRadio and to discuss it with those who are interested

Your Window To The World - Tuning In To The World
=================================================
Day and night, hundreds of thousands of radio stations all over the planet 
cram the airwaves.  As you read this, billions of bits of information are 
rushing through and around you at the speed of light - and then vanishing 
into the vast expanses of the Universe.  Catch them before they get away!
Be there when ships in distant oceans send out distress signals, when 
satellites are launched, when aircraft collide.  Witness battles and wars in 
faraway countries and form your own opinion listening to both sides of the 
conflict.  In today's fast-paced, action-packed world of radio 
communications, thousands of fascinating new situations are created every 
day, waiting to be investigated.  Begin a never-ending voyage: Tune in to the 
world with WiNRADiO - and stay captivated forever.
What Is WiNRADiO?
=================
WiNRADiO integrates advanced radio receiver technology and the power of your 
PC, to create a stunning new concept in communications technology.  Using the 
keyboard or a mouse, WiNRADiO can be operated exactly like a professional 
radio receiver, with controls and displays you would only find on high 
quality equipment.  Comprehensive on-line help is always only a keystroke 
away.
Wide Frequency Range
====================
Ordinary AM/FM radios usually cover a limited range of commercial broadcast 
frequencies.  To hear more, you need a professional radio receiver.  WiNRADiO 
covers a frequency range over sixty times larger than that of an ordinary 
AM/FM receiver and yet it is priced more like a PC sound card!
Information And Education
=========================
Listen to the voices of people from all over the world, from diverse 
cultures, in hundreds of languages, making history.  Enjoy exotic music you 
never knew existed.  Is there a better way to learn about the enormous 
diversity of the world we live in?
Scanning For Fun
================
Try radio scanning once and you will understand why ihis is one of the 
fastest growing hobbies in the world today.  In WiNRADiO we have included a 
rich variety of powerful scanning options, some of which can only be found on 
the highest-end receivers like those used by the military.  WiNRADiO makes 
scanning easier than ever: It can easily be the most amazing and entertaining 
PC add-on you ever had.
