This ^^^^ If you are up to figuring out Linux, that would let you take an older system/laptop/desktop and run a current, secure, Linux distribution - that's the low $ suggestion. An older MacMini (maybe an M1?) would let you run an older edition of macOS but still be in your familiar Mac OS/Environment. Chirp really puts very little demands on the system it runs on, anything you're comfortable putting on your desk would be adequate - you don't need anything special. Many folks get low-end laptops desktops running Win11 and dedicate them to Radio software/activities. With Win 10 going off support next month, those machines will be VERY affordable, and would make great Linux desktops. Good luck, Ken, N2VIP _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] List archives: https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/
