Since Al brought the RX320 up, I know of 2 places where there are
reviews, and there's even a Yahoo group for it:

I would never try to compare the 320D to one of the Winradio G303
series. The DSP is much more elaborate in the Winradio than it is in the
TenTec, enabling a lot more features. It will run rings around the
PCR1000 and lower end Winradios, though, without doubt.

As a poster or two has commented, one nice thing about the RX320
that's not so evident in the Winradios is the number of control programs
available (some free); the Winradio uses a proprietary language that
makes it harder to develop that kind of flexibility.

I may have to respectfully differ he Winradio makes it
extremely easy to develop software for their radios, by publishing API
together with example source codes:
http://www.winradio.com/home/developer.htm

They also provide many free "plugins" together with an
open-architecture for developing third-party plugins:
http://xrs.winradio.com

And they also provide excellent and free Basic-like programming
language called RadioBasic: http://www.rbasic.com

And they also have a site dedicated to Linux support (also with free
source codes): http://www.linradio.com

As far as I know this kind of extensive support is unparalleled with
any other radio manufacturer.

However, you are right saying that there are not that many third party
programs available - but I believe the reason is that the WinRadio
software is free and so damn good that there is not much need for any
third party software. But the tools are surely there if you want the
trouble.

Just my 2c worth... :-)
