The radio hobby market has MOSTLY rejected the winradio.
I suspect it is due to their high price and lack of third party software
and extemely poor marketing,

The hobby has long embraced the ICOM PCR 1000.
There are DOZENS of FREEWare and shareware titles
that can do everything from trunk tracking to
ship tracking, conventional scanning, tuning from
free shortwave broadcaster databases and decode many digital modes
WITHOUT MODIFICATION Pretty cool.
Check out DX-Tuners,

(extra cost to do alot of these fun things: zero )

The Icom PCR FUN FACTOR IS VERY HIGH.
Winradio has almost completely failed in this respect.


Why?
