OK whatever. I will scrounge and keep my price down. To each his own. On Tue, Jan 25, 2022 at 9:32 PM Ken Hansen wrote: > Chuck, > > It seems you really want to convince me that monitors aren't expensive - > I'm not sure why, since everything I've written is "+ monitor". > > Yes, people can use

Re: [chirp_users] Windows 10 and 11 S Mode

Chuck, It seems you really want to convince me that monitors aren't expensive - I'm not sure why, since everything I've written is "+ monitor". Yes, people can use their home TVs. Yes, older computer displays are abundant and in many cases freely available. Your first post said: "And for the

Re: [chirp_users] Windows 10 and 11 S Mode

In many places, you don't need to pay for a monitor at all. Check your local Freecycle list, or the free section of Craigslist. People are giving away monitors (and TVs) all the time. Martin. KD6YAM On Tue, Jan 25, 2022 at 5:17 PM Chuck Hast wrote: > Ken, in this case I do not have a junk box,

Re: [chirp_users] Raspberry Pi

Yep, about every TV has had one since quite some time back. Even an old 720P TV works great for a RPi. On Tue, Jan 25, 2022 at 5:30 PM Dan Berry wrote: > Raspberry pi was designed to be an easy way for kids to learn coding and > not need a lot of money. You don't need a monitor, just plug it i

I think if people will look around they will find that most cities of any size will have them and a lot of computer sh

Re: [chirp_users] Windows 10 and 11 S Mode

Chuck, My $100 number started with an RPi 400, not a 'traditional' RPI. RPi 400 - $70 Mouse - $7 Power adapter - $7 HDMI cable -$7 (microHDMI to standard HDBI) Name-brand MicroSD card - $7 That gives you $98 plus monitor, or simply get the RPi 400 'complete kit' for $100 and get a nice book als

Re: [chirp_users] Windows 10 and 11 S Mode

I buy a Logitech K400 which has a touchpad on it for about $20 at Walmart or other places that sell them. I either use a repurposed TV or go to the local IT recycler and get me a monitor for $5-$10. You do not need that much SD card for Chirp so that will cost less than $10. So far I still am not n
