Since Al brought the RX320 up, I know of 2 places where there are
reviews, and there's even a Yahoo group for it:

I would never try to compare the 320D to one of the Winradio G303
series. The DSP is much more elaborate in the Winradio than it is in the
TenTec, enabling a lot more features. It will run rings around the
PCR1000 and lower end Winradios, though, without doubt.
As a poster or two has commented, one nice thing about the RX320
that's not so evident in the Winradios is the number of control programs
available (some free); the Winradio uses a proprietary language that
makes it harder to develop that kind of flexibility.
Oh, and as to digital decoding; the 320 is quite capable of handling
digital sigs (i.e. PSK31, FAX, SSTV, RTTY, ALE, ect) with the right
software. Your main headache would be limiting the noise from the PC,
which is a consideration no matter if it's your 320, a scanner, ham
radio, ect....mine has let me hear some nice DX with rather modest antennas.
Have fun! 73s Mike
