Jose,

  thanks for the report. You could also try to use my other program SDRadio for 
what you do, as it does have the AM, the 
ECSS and the FM demodulators which are absent (for the time being) from Winrad.
Additionally, at least for my personal taste, the noise reduction of SDRadio 
works just a bit better than that of 
Winrad. To answer the natural question that can arise after such a statement, 
yes, it is in my plans to eventually 
transplant the SDRadio denoiser into Winrad. The algorithms are quite similar, 
if not identical, only a few parameters 
and the sampling frequency at which they operate are different.
