Used PCs are dirt cheap these days. For example, a high end Dell GX1 (P3) sells for less than $100.00. Disk space is usually not an issue. 256Mb of RAM will run almost digital program.
Suggestion: If purchasing a second machine, make sure it has both USB and RS-232 ports. A lot of the older digital programs do not support USB. I just run multiple PCs (nice for testing!). 73, Bernie ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew O'Brien To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2007 7:25 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Digital software, 2 rigs and one PC? I'm just wondering what those people with more than one rig and just one PC do with their setup in the varying digital mode software? The software usually requires you to set up the configuration area for type of radio, baud rate, and PTT line. Do you have different folders of the same software each with different settings ? Maybe everyone has two PCs ? Andy K3UK
