Apple hardware has a very good reputation for reliability and ability to work in harsh environments. There are several ways to run at least two operating systems on one computer, so having dual-boot, windows and OSx is a common way of using the hardware.
Make sure the system you get has the I/O configuration you need. My MacBook Pro has a single audio port, which can be configured for either input or output. I havent' figured out how to use it for computer digital modes (my favorite modes), so I use a SignaLink USB as an interface. I use RUMlog for logging, and cocoaModem for digital modes under OSx. I used RUMped for contest logging during field day and liked it. I don't have any experience with any of the Windows ham radio software, so don't ask for comparisons. :-) Cheers - Bill, AE6JV On 8/24/12 at 6:44, [email protected] (Paul and Sue Huff) wrote: >Any and all opinions would be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | The first thing you need when | Periwinkle (408)356-8506 | using a perimeter defense is a | 16345 Englewood Ave www.pwpconsult.com | perimeter. | Los Gatos, CA 95032 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
