I thought HRD only controlled certain radios that actually had to be connected
to the host computer via a series or USB port? Or is the ability to go to other
web sites and stream audio from them some undocumented feature I missed? I'll
have to check that out? Thanks.

You actually need a real radio?

The $40 program provides an SWL GUI for the same functionality as
Icecast or iTunes radio, etc.

Uh, yeah. Maybe you would benefit from a visit to the HRD web site at the link
above. It's a control program for Amateur Radios with computer control
capabilities. It's a great program with a lot of functionality. Just check out
the site, really. That should make things clear to you.

To run HRD. I'm already aware of it. People who refer to their computers
as if they were automobiles use it. I am running my ham radio station on
Puppy Linux and fldigi for control and soundcard modes. My computer is
an "Everex 2500", which is a little tiny low powered VIA C7D-based
system that WalMart tried selling back in 2008 or so. I bought one.
Microsoft wants $150 for an OS on a $150 computer. Screw that.

Did I mention that this computer idles at around 25 Watts? Less than
most notebooks?
