[Elecraft] Root of problems

[Tom]

I solved the real estate problem.... Bought a 39 inch 4k resolution monitor for less than 500 bucks.  That plus my 30 rotated vertically takes care of this nicely lol..!

True that all modern ham-digital modes can be decoded on a bare-bones PC.
However its the software suite that provides rig control, spotting, digital
modes, logging, propagation, kitchen sink, fast food order status, etc etc
etc is what makes even a modest computer turn into a chuggy drive-thrashing
monster.  You add any Panadapter software to this mix and you need a modern
gaming machine to keep up.

I used to only use a netbook in the shack.  Then I needed more horsepower
for the software.  Now I have a desktop with 2 monitors and I still (at
times) need more horsepower.
