I didn't have to, but in some install guides (try the official website's forum) they do give you other radios you can flash if the one that came with the ROM didn't work.
@Elimentals:
Thanks, I'll give that a go.

On Radio's:
Don't worry about it, only time you need to start looking for other radio's is if the ROM you use causes your calls to drop or WiFi suffers some performance issues. You can later when you happy with your phone or really want to tinker try and find the radio that squeezes the most out of your battery.
Normally I would advise the not so informed to rather try other MIUI roms instead of flashing the radio as well. In my DHD's case I find that the MIUI.us builds are the best.

No need for that dude, you could have used Virtual box and a Emu with USB share
Or you could have just followed This guide but using the Android SDK for Linux...
