[Elecraft] suggested PC???

[Jeff Stai]

Only you can decide how much PC you need to do what you want to do. If you
are just control and logging you can get by with 2-4G of RAM and a fairly
modest 160 gig disk drive, and a dual core. Even though the K3s has the USB
port I would still get something that would allow you to add one or more
real serial port via some flavor of PCI. You never know...

A more economical approach is to get a refurbished PC. I currently use a
refurbished HP with an added 8 port serial card for my RTTY work (I like
hardware modems...). I think it cost me $200 for the PC at the time. And I
recently purchased another one for my company that came with Win7 64-bit
Pro, for just $75. I use tigerdirect.com but there are many such vendors to
choose from.

Have fun! 73 jeff wk6i
