Yes and they also have an library to make plugins. xrs.winradio.com this is
for the hardcore people who are using C, C++ and or Pascal ie Delphi

Yes this is one of the reasons i didn't buy PCR1000, i dont like the GUI
and my radio needs are to make my own interfaces and functions. Reverse
enginering is one way to solve the trouble but they should made this
public. I think WinRadio has some advantage with this politic.

Yes and even when they say that the radio is going from 150kHz-1.3GHz the
radio is actualy going up to 1.6GHz but not 100% accurate on the frequency
above 1.3GHz
And i love to get an winradio or ICOM for 0-2GHz. Maybe one of the companys
can make a tranceiver :o)
