>=3B Hi Roger
>=3B
>=3B I us= e a small notebook Archos 10 with Xp OS and a SignaLink USB box
>=3B = which has a data cable to the the FT-817 to run WSPR (used mainly for HF >=3B antenna comparative tests). The Archos is also used with with the =
>=3B AIM4170 impedance analyser and another bit of kit for measuring = and
>=3B displaying signal levels. The latter two items use the old R= S232 port
>=3B but nevertheless will run with the Archos by using an = RS232/USB converter.
