WiNRADiO has been already supporting Mac users earlier, with our popular WR-1550e receiver, but the new range of Macs featuring the Intel CPU has opened a whole new world of possibilities. WiNRADiO applications and hardware that were previously only available for Windows are now available to Mac users without. The WiNRADiO WR-1500i hardware/software package. Support is also provided for software developers wishing to write their own applications code for WiNRADiO. Manufacturers of SDR Systems for Professional Radio Surveillance and Amateur Applications. Winradio 1550e. Of the WR software. Winradio Wr 1550 Software.

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. Bill Crocker. Quote: >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. >Bill Crocker The Bonito software is cack IMHO. No support, many bugs and definitely some of the worst available for the PCR-1000. Icom software while berift of features, at least works;) There are others out there, TakPCR e.g. That are much better. But I do agree there is room for improvement.

Mostly it is a fuyn radio to have amd play woth and there are some neat things you can do with it and some of the sound card software out there. PEople get a kick out of seeing the digital pager messages flowing by on the screen for example;) -- Panzer. Quote:>I've always preferred the PCR-1000, over the WR-1550e.

From a software >point, they both could use improvement. Everything could surely use improvement, but comparing the Icom software with WinRadio software is like comparing a bicycle to a Mercedes. There is simply no comparison: The Icom software is crude and primitive, almost childish.

It would surely look great on a chunky graphics Commodore computer of the early eighties. And has Icom finally managed to make it work on Windows XP? WinRadio software is beautifully crafted and works perfectly on all versions of Windows (and has been working perfectly on Windows 2000 and XP since the day they were introduced). You get plenty of ongoing support, many options (digital signal processing, decoding, trunking, database), dozens of free plug-ins for all sorts of applications (Linux support, Mac support, and even a free 'Radio Basic' interpreter (.

Which other radio manufacturer gives you all that? Sure, any additional improvement would always be great. Social Booth Keygens.

But all this is already a thousand times more impressive than whatever ***Icom has managed to provide so far, for their one and only PC-based product. >>And where have you been hiding? >I haven't been hiding anywhere.
