Is the winradio schema on line anywhere?


        All the radio controls are open source (www.linradio.com)
        *except the SDR*.  In other words, no. :-)

Yes, I've seen this site. There is some good stuff
to glom for other projects.

I was not impressed with winradio specifications vs price
compared to the RX320 coupled with linrad (not linradio).
Linrad, http://www.nitehawk.com/sm5bsz/linuxdsp/linrad.htm
is maturing nicely and like gnuradio is open source.
Gnuradio focus is digital modes, ATSC-HDTV, etc.



Don't know about the PCR1000.  It's not one of my favorite
radios because of both engineering and politcal decisions.


Is this why I can't find one without that stupid Bonito SW bundled?

What about engineering? Specs look good relative to the Winradio.
I would really lie to see a schema though. You can't hide the
shortcuts when it's all on paper.

Most of the WinRadio series is expensive.  Furthermore, they
don't perform very well.  They sacrificed a lot to get DC-Daylight
performance out of them.  OTOH, the G303i ("i" for internal) is
a DC-30 MHz radio and is relatively affordable at $600.

There doesn't seem to be much of a reason that an external version
can't be built, but as I said, they haven't released an API or
board registers yet.
