Well, it seems to work.

Just purchased a Winradio G33DDC "Excalibur Pro". My main concerns were if
it would be sensitive enough for weak signal LF work, would it be stable
enough for QRSS, and how well the noise blanker would do against my
neighbor's electric fence. It seems to be sensitive enough to receive MP in
the daytime. The noise blanker does a terrific job. In fact, the radio
seems to be much less affected by the clicking noise even without the noise
blanker.....I better check to see if she even has the fence turned on, lol.

As for stability, here is a screen shot of WWVB on QRSS120:

So, an amazing piece of gear, IMO, especially considering the thing is only
about the size of a paperback novel. I have two weeks to decide whether to
keep it or send it back for a refund (minus shipping). So far, so good. The
software seems fairly easy to learn.
