![]() Over the past two weeks, I’ve been making solid connections to a local Winlink node on 2M using VARA FM. Then, I installed the Narrowband Emergency Messaging System (NBEMS) software, i.e., fldigi, flmsg, and flamp. ![]() First up was Winlink Express, along with VaraFM and SoundModem. Next I installed the software I need for ARES-RACES. I started by installing the software I use for logging, e.g., N3FJP ACLog, SKCC logger, HamRS, N3FJP Field Day Logger, etc. The initial Windows setup didn’t take long, and I was ready to install some software. Getting started with the Evolve III was the same as any other Windows 10 device I’ve owned. I also want to use it for digital communications during ARES-RACES exercises and deployments. My plan for this little laptop is to use it for logging during QRP-portable operations, especially Field Day and Winter Field Day. (Still a bargain, I think.) These laptops are obviously clearance items, since the Evolve website shows newer models running Window 11. When I checked my local store, they were out of stock, so I bought one on Amazon for about $89. Micro Center stores have been selling them for $59.99 with a limit of five per customer. A 1.1 GHz Celeron processor runs the laptop, and it has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of data storage. ![]() It runs the Windows 10 Pro Education operating system, and has two USB ports and a micro SD memory card slot. Despite its low cost and small size, it’s a capable little machine. ![]()
