[Elecraft] ANN: KComm 1.1 released

[hank k8dd]

I have an Asus eee pc 4G (not the Surf).
It came with linux ..... worked great, but it was a real 
pain to install stuff - harder than with my ubuntu laptop.
So I put XP, stripped down, on it.
15 seconds from power on to logon screen.
Works with Writelog, WinkeyerUSB & the K3, and it does
not use the noisy switching power supply that most
laptops use.
Have not tried PSK or RTTY yet, but see no reason why
they won't work.
Allthough the keyboard is a bit cramped, it is great for 
portable operation ..... and quite inexpensive compared 
to the bigger laptops.
