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.

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.
