I am in the market to get a USB Radio tuner for my carputer. However i need one that will interface with Visual Basic 6. Does anyone know of any USB radio tuners on the market that has VB source code?

Thanks,
David

Does anyone know anything about VB and using the USB FM Radio from Silicon Laboratories?

Thanks,

The Silicon USB FM has been discussed at some length:

The VB code in that doesnt seem to be "for" the radio that you get, only a simple USB test to see that its hooked up. Doesnt allow station scanning, preset stations, etc from what i c on the main menu.

stealth..have you searched? does hqct support vb? it's your best option if so

HQCT is $150.00 vs $40.00. Im not going to spend that much money just to have AM/FM when i can get it for $40.00.

I really would like that RadioShark one. But its only interfaced with the software it comes with OR that RoadRunner mod.

ok. well as long as you are ok with spending $40 for something that will hardly get any reception. If i wereyou i'd purchase something that you could return and ride around with it for a week or so and see if you are happy with the results
