Not those, but as previously mentioned, the Ten-Tex RX-320 has a great
rep and probably is the most bang-for-the-buck available these days.

I have the Winradio G303i and it is spectacularly good. It's missing
a couple of features found on many radios but it (especially in the
"pro demodulator" variant) can't be beat.

The new G303e (external, USB or serial) should be as good or nearly as
good.

The G313i is supposed to be a leap of performance over the '303's but
it is double the price.

I bought the G313i and never looked back. Considering the performance
and the features, I'd go as far as say that this is currently the best
HF radio on the market. (Not just in terms of PC radios - *any* HF
radios.) The G303 is also fantastic, but the G313 is still a class
higher.
