Half of what you remember is correct, the other half is not: They did
indeed review all the three radios you mention, but the Winradio was a
clear winner. They said it is the "ne plus ultra" amongst all PC
radios. I have the G313 and I would never ever look back. Superb
radio.

Geoff

and only half of that is right. The winradio g303i and tentec rx-3200 were BOTH
rated 4-star 'passport's choice'. The icom pcr1000 was only rated 3 stars.

However, this IS rec.radio.scanner -- not rec.radio.shortwave, and Passport's
'Verdict' section on the icom says "Among tested PC-controlled receivers, the
Japanese-made Icom IC-PCR1000 is the most appropriate for wideband frequency
coverage." -- which kind of sounds like what a rec.radio.scanner questioner
would be interested in...
