[Elecraft] PC laptop for K3/KX3 digital modes

[bill conkling]

I found several Dell refurbished D620's a while back at the local GOODWILL store.  New bat, and warranty on HD and computer.  About $225.

Love mine.  Added memory after warranty ran out and also upgraded to larger solid state HD.  Used for many club outings, FDs and personal activities.
