Going to Dayton next week and I am wondering which of these radios is
the best bet to get. I don't hear much talk about winradio anymore. Will
the Icom trunktrack like the winradio does?

And where have you been hiding? :-) It is a well known fact that Icom
does not support the PCR1000 anymore and is letting it quietly die,
while WinRadio keeps releasing new products all the time. Compare
their Web sites and you shall see...

Will the Icom trunktrack like the winradio does?

Maybe only with third party software, on which Icom is now relying
entirely.

I have both PCR1000 and WR1550e, and the Icom has been collecting dust
since I acquired the WinRadio - much better.

I haven't been hiding anywhere. I just never looked into these radios
until now.

entirely.

So are you saying that there is software out there for trunking?

Then you should sell me the Icom for cheap Say $200

I have had great success using Trunk Tracker for the PCR-1000. Works just
fine

Take a look at :

Been a while since an update has been released, but this version works
fine for me.

Here is one thing that bothers the hell out of me why are these receiver
cards built on ISA cards instead of PCI cards? Who the hell has an ISA card
slot in their computer? I mean come on PCI-X is almost here across the
board. ISA is ancient technology and its what keeps be from getting this
type of receiver.

Neither the WR-1550e, or the PCR-1000, are built on ISA cards. Both these
models are external devices, that communicate to the computer via an RS232
serial port.

WiNRADiO does offer the internal card version, and as you say, it is on an
ISA card. Icom, to my knowledge, never offered an internal one. WiNRAiO
does make a shortwave receiver, on a PCI card...finally!

Icom ships the PCR-1000 with Bonito's software now.

I've always preferred the PCR-1000, over the WR-1550e. From a software
point, they both could use improvement.

my offer.

I do actually. :-) Your post did remind me that I planned to get rid
of it. I no longer use it. But I think I'd prefer to do it via eBay. I
am going away for a few days and will do it upon my return.

Why bother with ebay when it will just cost you money to place the add?
I can do paypal or postal money order if you like.
