I have been trying 2 research the same thing. I have flashed a new ROM. but have no clue on how to install a new Radio, or even where to get them... is there a list and tuts anywhere on how/what to install?
Bee searching with no luck, though I did find a Radio that CR86 had a link to on his Touch HD v2.6 rom though have no idea on how to proceed to install the Radio, so I have my default one on my Wizard atm.

LAYMAN TERMS.

Radio : phone's communication software to your network/carrier
ROM : Phone's UI Software.

Or, something like that.
correct if wrong.

And to update both radio and rom, you have to flash it, nbh files is avail at htc upgrading forum.

pretty much got it right lol

radio controls all gsm and 3g functions (calls internet etc)
rom is basically windows mobile and all OEM software
