Hi Jerry,

Don't use a wired network. I had my shack computer on a wired network when I took a lightning hit a couple of years ago.

Everything connected on the wired network was zapped (2 PCs, router, modem, K3 RS-232 port, WinKey (connected to one of the PCs), and the Cable TV amplifier located over 150 ft away out by the road. When I rebuilt everything i went wireless with all of my PCs and have never regretted it.

Now that I have had my k3s on the air for a couple of months I'm ready to 
interface it to a computer. I am planning on a dedicated PC just for use in the 
shack. My only uses (that I can think of now) are logging and control of the 
k3s, perhaps remotely at some point.


It seems to me an I7 processor of any speed would be adequate with a 500gb SSD and 
wifi capability to my LAN (I guess I could hard wire this). What else do I need in 
the box in the way of interconnectivity? Any need for a large amount of memory 
(>8gb)?


Any suggestions would be appreciated


Jerry, k1tgx
