For anyone on a tight budget, this NUC runs WSJT-X, DXLab Suites, Browser, JTAlert, PJ Client and a host of other software, including zoom video, all at the same time, with no more than 25% CPU use (and that is peak usage during 50 decodes on FT8)
It is available, new, on Amazon, priced as low as $149, 16 gB RAM, 512 gB SSD, USB 2 and 3, BlueTooth, Wireless ...Windows 11 Pro. 3 HDMI out, Ethernet. It has all the bells and whistles. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRV3G7G1?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1 I bought two, one for me and one for my wife to replace Win10 machines and they run all my ham software better than an 8 gB, I5 Lenovo Refurb that I paid $249 for 3 years ago. If you want a cheap, but effective computer for Windows 11 Pro that will run all your ham software and then some, $150 to $200 (price fluctuates) should end your sorrows. 73, N0AN Hasan On Thu, May 1, 2025 at 9:08 AM Uwe, DG2YCB via wsjt-devel < wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hi Andy, > > You are causing a lot of confusion with such half-baked statements.
