    I see what you did there. At first thought you were crazy for cutting the supplied power cord, but nice solution!

    Thanks Frank. I bought a Surface 4 for a good price, also works on 12vdc but is quicker. Now I just need a HF 📻.

    Used it this weekend for a ham demo in a Houston Park. It, WL on Win 10, Digirig, FTM 6000, did everything OK.

    Do you still use your Maestro for POTA if not what are you using. Also thank you for card and Sapphire sticker for recent QSO

      @TankRadio  6 месяцев назад

      No, my Maestro computer bit the bullet pretty hard. I found the manufacturer be no help for support. Currently I'm using my Dell XPS, which is really overkill however that's all I have right now. Awesome, congrats I'm not giving those out a lot, i love those Sapphire stickers. 73

    I took the cellular modem out of mine and installed a SSD in its place. The later models of this $60 laptop do not have the SATA connector so check first.

      I started having issues just after this recording. I'm trying to work through it before I make videos on it

    The Evolve Maestro III is a total piece of $h1T. Mine was brand-new and is now unusable after a few hours. The battery is utter junk. Emailing support gets you a "not my job" response and instructions to a different email that never gets answered. Calling the toll-free number gets you a forced "Life Alert" sales pitch then you NEVER get through to the support staff. Save your money. This is a total waste and a rip-off that's going to the next electronic recycling day event. The computer does not work, and neither does their support staff. Smells like a scam. That means it usually is. I was with you 100% on the POTA and 12v aspects. I'll just go back to my boat anchor name-brand machine that POTA's like a champ. 73 and good POTA.
