Roger roger, that was EXACTLY what we were looking for. I'm going to give it a try with my single CPU laptop. If it doesn't work, then I'll "borrow" the laptop from my home office. Thanks George. 73
The contest logging program is a high cpu user if it's connected to the hyperactive spotting network during a major dx contest. Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec maili
Tell me about it. Last year it lamed my computer to the extent that it would not even send code properly. I had to send the exchanges myself throughout the entire contest. This year I modified the pr
I've experienced this as well. What really helped me was: use a fresh database for the contest set a shorter spot timeout set up strict spot filtering on the node you're connected to use WinKey for c
That's no where near as CPU intensive as displaying a panadapter. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com The panadapter program is the only high CPU user in what you have d
I have a hunch with a pan-adapter displayed, my computer would not be able to send proper Morse code. Perhaps it would work with a WinKey, but it wouldn't have a chance without one. One more reason t
It would definitely work with winkey but you are right it might not work if N1MM is forming the characters. Is your computer dual core? Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.c
This computer is not a good candidate to run with a panadapter. I would say you need at least dual core and 2 ghz and 2 gig of memory. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.co
I was afraid you would say that. Currently my computer is doing just fine for what I want it to do. Experience has shown that when I get interested in some new technology, I do what I have to do to d

Rick: Unless you are banned from doing so in Germany, you can source commuter parts on ePay and build a machine with little expense. For the OS go to Linux MINT or Ubuntu to keep cost down. I know yo
Eric, I only use laptops in my shack. It's a very tiny shack. BTW, I have built over 50 computers in my life (no exaggerating). I have accounts with several component vendors in DL. Sorry, but I just
I use RedHat 64 bit and Win7 64 at work. I use application that run only under Win 7 and run/write programs under linux. I've found that Windows does its best to be user friendly, at the expense of v
Hi Rick, For about ten years, I've been quite happy with off-lease T4x-series Thinkpads running XP Pro with all the updates. For most of that time, they did everything I needed, including some VERY C
I have a Dell dual core laptop that works with a nooelec dongle. I believe its asking a lot of a PC to do what I want. The delay through the computer is a major issue. The filtering needs to be in th
Jim, I fully agree with you on the PC front. I deem the old IBM and later Lenovo ThinkPad line of business laptops to be the best in the industry, but the DELL Latitude family is close enough for gov
Is this still true since China bought Lenovo/ThinkPad from Hewlett-Packard a few years ago? Quality hasn't suffered? Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list Ten
They tell me that Thinkpads are the best built of the consumer laptops, and that the Thinkpad badged stuff is better than the other Lenovo boxes. Is this still true since China bought Lenovo/ThinkPa
Yes, this is still true. I had been a ThinkPad fan before IBM sold its PC business. I switched to Dell (Latitude) right after that because it was feared that the quality might possibly suffer and the
Ah, not quite Barry. Lenovo bought out IBM, not HP. The ThinkPad was an IBM product line... which was built for them by Lenovo, at least at the end. So no, quality hasn't suffered. Just make sure you
