OK it is a computer soundcard solution but would a netbook with a solid

little power and will drive Hell easily and is simple to use. With a little
dismantling and repackaging, can easily be made watertight and even more
shockproof and a custom Linux build can make it a turnkey appliance.


I don't use Hellschreiber, but it certainly works on a small Asus
netbook, under Linux.

I have a PSK31 autospotter consisting of an Asus PC900A netbook ($200)
running Fldigi; an MFJ-1024 active antenna; and an ICOM R75.

This computer has an 8 gig SSD and is very solidly constructed. I run
Puppy Linux 4.20 operating system.
