You can get a brand new Dell Win 10 solid drive laptop for $150 that also lets
you use winlink, not much memory but if you are only using it for ham
applications it works fine, that’s what I use as a dedicated ham laptop.

I use an older Chromebook, Dave. I removed Chrome OS and replaced it with
GalliumOS, a Linux distro for Chromebooks. You can get an older model
Chromebook for really cheap these days, and that gives you a display,
battery, keyboard, trackpad, processor, and multiple digital mode apps, all
nicely
Thanks to Ray and Gwen for the tip, and that indeed looks like a really
nice low cost way to go. But I already have a KX2 and I would still need
to bring along a notebook or small laptop computer. I could certainly
homebrew a combined unit consisting of the MDS Phasor, a Raspberry Pi, and
a 12
My pleasure, Paul. Feel free to repost elsewhere.
And keep on truckin' :)

Here in Maine we have many opportunities for mountain trekking but you can
add operating out of small boats as well. There is no better feeling than
cruising all day, entering a snug harbor and kicking back with a warm meal
and afterwards, firing up the K-2.

I suggested this about a year ago and got mostly dismissive replies from
the group, but I still think that a small, dedicated FT8 rig (and similar
modes) would be an attractive offering. Something the size of a KX2 or
maybe just a little larger, with a modest display and separate
Every day, hams worldwide, young and old, summit mountains and hills carrying
the lightest possible load. They earn every calorie burned, and are rewarded
with vistas most people never see. Like all adventurers, they proudly display
nature's merit badges: scrapes, bruises, and stings.
