Howdy Everyone,
It's looking like 2015 is going to be the year of
bringing my shack into the 21st century. I've been running
Windows XP in the shack for the last 8 years and I'd like to
upgrade. First and foremost - what Windows operating system is
everyone using these days? I've always stuck with XP because
I've felt every program designed for amateur radio use would
run on it, but these days with the lack of support from
Windows, it's time to get within this decade.
I'm probably looking at a new dedicated shack machine -
is there anything I ought to be looking special for in a new
computer for the shack? This would be a machine dedicated for
amateur radio only, and used for daily logging, SO2R control,
rig control and DX cluster monitoring.
I'm interested in hearing any suggestions or knowing if
anyone has anything excess to their needs.
