Re: LF: Netbooks for WSPR and Spectrum Lab?

[Peter Dodd <g3ldo@o2.co.uk>]

Hi  Roger

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