FWIW ... I've got everything setup wired in the shack, but everything
(cable coax, ethernet, power) runs through an uninterruptible power
supply (ups). Many of the higher end models provide not only power
surge protection and battery, but lightning/surge protection for coax
and ethernet.

Hi Jerry,
Don't use a wired network. I had my shack computer on a wired network
when I took a lightning hit a couple of years ago.
Everything connected on the wired network was zapped (2 PCs, router,
modem, K3 RS-232 port, WinKey (connected to one of the PCs), and the
Cable TV amplifier located over 150 ft away out by the road. When I
rebuilt everything i went wireless with all of my PCs and have never
regretted it.

Now that I have had my k3s on the air for a couple of months I'm
ready to interface it to a computer. I am planning on a dedicated PC
just for use in the shack. My only uses (that I can think of now) are
logging and control of the k3s, perhaps remotely at some point.
It seems to me an I7 processor of any speed would be adequate with a
500gb SSD and wifi capability to my LAN (I guess I could hard wire
this). What else do I need in the box in the way of
interconnectivity? Any need for a large amount of memory (>8gb)?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Jerry, k1tgx
