I have an older IBM Thinkpad laptop in halfway decent condition. It has Windows 98 and is kind of useless for normal computer work. Today I put the Linux-based Knoppix boot CD in and it started up. All the tools like the network connection, sound card and whatnot were found and started. The thing needs more memory and a new battery, but I ordered those this evening.
What I want to do is use it to run my SDR-14 receiver as a portable. Apparently there is a program called LINRAD that works with the receiver and Linux (Knoppix). I think this will be quite useful. Question: Has anyone run the SDR-IQ or SDR-14 receiver through a Linux computer? Is the LINRAD program as good as the supplied Spectravue? Any thoughts?
