Hi Folks, Has anyone used the WiNRADiO products? http://www.winradio.com/ For example, the G305 looks like it could be a useful spectrum analyzer for 0.009 to 1.8 MHz. -- % Randy Yates % "Ticket to the moon, flight leaves here today %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % from Satellite 2" %%% 919-577-9882 % 'Ticket To The Moon' %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % *Time*, Electric Light Orchestra http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr

The WiNRADiO WR-G305i is a software-defined PC-based wideband scanning receiver covering a frequency range from 9 kHz to 1800 MHz ^^^^^^^^ ;/

(Yikes!)My father thought they were important. I argued that within a factor of ten was an "engineering approximation" He objected to my "approximation" being in exponent ;{!

My father and I had been discussing interstellar distances ie m * 10^^m My "m" was off by an order of magnitude. He declined to accept that as an "engineering approximation" PS I heard of CK722

When the infield fly rule applies, you don't need to slide.
