AMSATers,
Congratulations on getting ARISS going. I hope we learn a great deal from it that will help in future missions.
On another matter entirely, has anyone had success running Sat PC32 on a netbook? I operate only as a portable, and am looking for the lightest computer for the purpose. The computer can be very simple, but it must have 2 USB ports (I run 2 FT817s). Do netbooks generally have 2 USB ports? Any other suggestions would be most welcome.
Tnx and 73, Tony, N2UN, LM183
Hi Tony, I don't know about Sat PC but I ended up selling my MSI 1300 netbook in favor of a laptop. I used HRD and their sat program along with the digital program. I had 3 ports and added ram to get to 2GB, but the processor just does not have the horsepower. Everything ran way slow and it just gets annoying. I would make sure you test one before spending any money.
Maybe a 14" laptop with some guts is the way for you

Tony,
I'm using an Acer Aspire 1 and SatPC32 does my 910 and rotor with no problems at all. It also has 3 USB ports.

I run it on one of the original XP netbooks and it does fine.
