I have the ASUS 1000HE which is just about the same computer except for the hard drive vers the solid state memory and a few extras. I have used Digipan and several other programs for psk31 with no problem. Runs mmtty fine. If you do not have a usb to serial port adaptor you may not be able to control the rig. Some of the interface units come with the adaptors for this. It does not really take much of a computer to run basic psk31. I have ran psk 31 with some 200 mhz desktop computers years ago.

Re: [digitalradio] Has anyone tried the ASuS EEE pc 901?
That is a good price. I wonder if it has enough computer power for some of the powerful digital mode programs. That approach gives you the most versatility, but I'm going a different way for PSK field work -- the NUE-PSK digital modem. It has it's own LCD screen and processor with software for PSK and a few other modes in the firmware. It draws 60 ma without backlight, 80 ma with, so it will give many hours of QRP PSK using a small battery for it and my 817. The curent sale price is $150 kit, $200 assembled from http://www.nue-psk.com/. But a real PC like a Netbook would allow a lot of other portable activity, but without quite as much time betore the batteries run down.

RE: [digitalradio] Has anyone tried the ASuS EEE pc 901?
I just bought an ASUS EeePC 1000HE. Haven't tried to use it on digital modes yet, but using it for general computer stuff, it seems to be plenty adequate. It also comes with a 9-hour, 6-cell battery, so it will run for a long time. The 1000HE is a little bigger, has a 160MB hard drive, and a slightly faster processor than the 901. It is currently the top rated netbook. FWIW. Dick - W6CCD -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of J.

Simply put - yes, more than enough CPU. Myself I have the model with a 160GB disk. Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com - Original Message - From: J. Moen That is a good price. I wonder if it has enough computer power for some of the powerful digital mode programs.
Re: [digitalradio] Has anyone tried the ASuS EEE pc 901?
Yes, I have the eee 901 with 20 GB SSD. It came with xandros but I switched to easy peasy (ubuntu). I use it when travelling so I have pskmail with fldigi, xastir and all kinds of stuff... Also, I use it for navigation so I have Seaclear with bsb charts for the baltic sea. Also use hsdpa 3g card for wireless access. It works great, I could not be more happy. 73 de Per, sm0rwo From: jeffnjr484 jeffnjr...@yahoo.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 5:24:01 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Has anyone tried the ASuS EEE pc 901?

I got my Asus netbook at Radio Shack, it runs Ham Radio Deluxe for rig control. Works great! I use CAT5 network cable for all the desktops here, but put in a WIFI access point for the little netbook. 73 DE Charles, N5PVL
