Hello Ken and all:
I am using laptop by Gateway for seval years, bought it new back in 2002, I
beleive.
It does a good work, especially on my DX-trips, but it IS sensitive to RF
when I am running High Power, mostly on 80 and 40 meters.
I am still using it on my second Radio, but I would not recommend this guy. I
put some toroids and it works better now, but still in some combinations like
40m/80m or 80m/20m the Writelog shows "No Radio!" and I have to replug
USB-cable or even to reastart Laptop in order to make it work again.
recently I bought used Dell Desktop for 150 bucks with two comm ports.
I am using Dell for the First radio and very happy with this guy, No RF, no
problems, works like a whistle.
I am not sure but have a feeling that all Laptops are subect to RF problem.
Hope this will help and see you in BARTG SPRINT.

Hi
Not sure if I have seen this topic discussed. I need to replace my laptop
that I use for RTTY and logging.
My question:
1.Are there some RF sensitive laptops I should stay away from? (No DELLS..2
of 3 have been DOA!)
Any suggestions helpful..
See you in BARTG next weekend.
