Anyone have Winradio and a copy of Radiocom 6

[Reece]

Does any of the members here own Winradio and a copy of Radiocom?
Due to the complexity of Radiocom, I can understand why there are bugs in it. In particular I am having a lot of problems connecting it to Winradio.
One of the main problems is that the software refuses to operate in VHF and UHF, the tuning just does not function.
Also the latest version I can't delete data entries, can add new ones though.
I originally paid $300 for Radiocom, good to know that it has dropped to half that price now, a little more realistic, even so it seems that there aren't many uses of Radiocom out there.

It would be nice to work with someone that had these 2 products to swap ideas etc.
I keep my fingers crossed.

I don't have any problem with the original Winradio GUI after adding some third party frequency management programmes that can be updated rather than the awful World Database Manager (or whatever it was called).

What does Radiocom do that the WinRad GUI doesn't?

What does Radiocom do? Wow more like what doesn't it do!!!
In the following picture you will see the displayed bandwidth is much wider than the Winradio GUI, you can see the signals coming and going and can click on them or drag to the center where the shaded area is the IF filter. This can be narrowed or shifted by the dual knob on the left of the RF gain:

Here showing the narrowed IF filter:

Bandwatch, decoding for FAX, SSTV, RTTY, CW, PSK, Navtex also Satellite processing, not to mention dual CRO Audio processing. Frequency database/memory. Updates for the main database, satellite info is free online.
Btw, the Winradio Virtual Sound Card is taken into account as well.
There is much more, see:
Bonito RadioCom 6 -- Premium Multimode En- & Decoder Software for: Weatherfax, SatFax, RTTY, SSTV, PSK31, Sitor, SDR Integration, Perseus, Excalibur, DRM, radio control, plus SubDecoder as well as TX Encoder

However being this complicated there are bugs, but this might be my Windows setup, one of the main reasons I would like to share info with other users.

IMHO I would get back to the Bonito website and ask them about your problems or post a message on the Yahoo Winradio site.

post a message on the Yahoo Winradio site.

Do you have a link?
Thanks.

...although you have to join Yahoo Groups and then again log in to the Winradio group - it's pretty archaic now - almost a flashback to the old 'bulletin boards'
