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.

In many places, you don't need to pay for a monitor at all. Check your

Chuck,
My $100 number started with an RPi 400, not a 'traditional' RPI.
RPi 400 - $70

Power adapter - $7

It is so easy to run on Linux (where it is native) that

Hi Al,
Raspberry Pi OS... which is based on Debian Linux.
Easy to set up and use.
There is a Raspberry Pi image out there called "Ham Pi".
It has a ton of Amateur Radio software pre-installed, including Chirp.
I have a separate Raspberry Pi set up with that I use in the shack.

Just thinking "out loud", but will the Windows in-place application
version of CHIRP work in Windows S-mode?
Personally not a fan of S-mode and I switch all my devices to standard
Windows. Maybe I'm missing out...

S-mode is just a security mode that won’t allow you to load software except

Chirp is not in the Microsoft app store and therefore will not install in S

Doesn't answer your questions but, for what it's worth...
I set up Raspberry Pi 3B just use as a portable Chirp programming machine.
I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and a small 6" TFT Screen.
No drivers and such to worry about.
Small and portable, (I take it club meetings and program folk'
Chirp's fine with USB C ports.

Very helpful! I picked out one that is perfect and since I won’t be there to
help him use it we’re not doing a surface or a 2 in 1. Good to know about 11!
Thank you so much!

Windows mode S has NOTHING to do with Chromebooks. Not a single similarity.
Mode S just means that all apps/programms must come from the Microsoft store.
You can always swith off mode S.

Not a windows expert, but from what I read the "S" mode is quickly & easily
turned off. No problem.
In S mode, you can only install apps from the Microsoft App Store. So most
people turn that off on the first day.
Then there may be an option to upgrade to Windows 11, and from what I hear,
it's
It will run programs it’s supposed to function as a laptop running Windows and
a Tablet but I won’t have him risk it. Thank you for your input!

You might be able to force it into windows 10 compatible by right clicking
on the icon and changing how it behaves in the settings. You can do that
in many of the windows versions as some programs are slow or windows hides
all the compatibility stuff.

I was told the windows S mode, is basically a chromebook, running windows.
Ok for internet stuff, but will not run any programs. Unless someone says I
