I have a Dell Laptop that I used with my F3K. Worked well with the F3K; but, does not work well with the F1.5K. Too much latency for CW. Was going to take the laptop and F1.5K with me on field day; but, latency was really bad.
The Laptop is a dual core Dell (not sure of the speed). The F1.5K works well with the W7 multicore desk system, so took the big computer and F1.5K on field day.

While I realize a 1.6 gHz laptop in XP is pretty minimal for my Flex I would like to try it on a quick portable op as the laptop runs happily on 12VDC thus eliminating the need for an inverter. It has a firewire port (unknown chipset) but has the small rectangular connector on the computer for the firewire cable, I am guessing there is a standard cable on one end that would go to the Flex and the small rectangular connector on the other end that would go to the laptop or it it just a little adapter I would need. (any part reference would be helpful) Other option would be I think to use a proper Firewire card in the card slot it has it will take up to two type l or ll cards or one type lll card what would be the proper Firewire card to get for this? Then I could use the Firewire cable I already have. Or am I way off base---I do realize it would be a minimal setup. It is a Panasonic CF51 Toughbook.
