I do not own a winradio but have seen programmers use them, they are quit=
e=20
good... The models I have seen even come with source code demonstrating h=
ow=20
to tune, scan, recieve (and transmit if your rich enough) and I have seen=
=20
software which displays weather maps. However I do not know if the demo c=
ode=20
also works in FreeBSD (i have only seen programmers use it in MS).
