[Ham-Computers] RE: USB memory stick - cruzer question

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

Hi Johnny and welcome to the list!

By "specific to the cruzer", I believe you're talking about the "U3" technology.  For those not familiar with "U3", it allows you to carry your apps with you so you can use it on any computer (running Windows), but the apps must be written to work with U3.  There are several competing utilities that I've heard of that do the same thing, but SanDisk has the marketing "muscle" to push U3.

Sorry, I don't know of any HAM specific U3 apps as I don't have any U3 drives.  I did hear that Microsoft recently teamed up with SanDisk to further market U3, so it might not be long before you start seeing HAM apps on the platform.

73,

Hi I am new to the list but not new to ham radio or computers....My name 
is Johnny Shepherd KD5LWU Cortez, Colorado Local Ham club president 2 
years, General class operator. I alkso have a question along with Ko6BB 
Phillip.....I have a SanDisk cruzer micro 2.0 GB stick and I am 
wondering if there are any programs specific to the cruzer that have 
been written? What is the best way to use this for ham radio where I can 
go to someones house and plug it in to say use Echolink or CQ100 or use 
it to control my HF remote base? Thanks for allowing me to be part of 
the great group here  and for the forthcoming answers...73 Johnny KD5LWU
