Best Cheap Laptop For Mobile and Portable Ops

I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. On my YouTube channel I upload videos on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 along with Ham radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to try new things in Amateur Radio.

Hi Rich. Question. I’m helping a friend set up a 7300 and I do not operate digital on my 7300. So I do not use the USB cable. To operate digital, do I merely download the USB drivers plug in the USB cable to the back of the radio and then into the computer? Is it really that easy?

Hi Rich,

thank you, that comes at the right time, since I’m currently looking for a cheap Win10 based laptop/ tablet myself. I’d love to see, how the HP behaves with HRD, WSJT-X and FT8Call? A review/ Video on this subject, would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Marc

Hi Rich,
just wanted to check, if you had a chance to test the new laptop a little bit more? I would be particulary interested to see how its working in combination with the KX2, and using WSJT-X and/or JS8Call while being portable?
Cheers,
Marc

Hi Rich, I have just purchased a 7300 and have a MacBook pro, I have downloaded WSJT-X ver 2 Beta and I am unable to transmit, I have followed your videos even downloaded the Sil labs USB driver but no go. I receive FT8 ok, I do not want to purchase another windows laptop, what am i missing? very frustrating.

I have the 7300 and have been fiddling with waterfall displays. Any chance you can share how you have your waterfall set up?

Thanks,
