This Mini-PC is amazing.  For just $249,  the kit comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with Radeon Graphics , 2100MHz, 6GB RAM 500GB SSD.  

The Beeline runs Windows 11 and all my Ham Radio related tools brilliantly: SmartSDR, FRStact, SliceMaster, CW Skimmer and the various loggers - ACLOG,  SKCC Logger/Skimmer, Log4OM.

Remote CW with RKI 1.05 and Sparkfun FT231X breakout board

I've created a workable solution for sending CW via a "straight key" to my remote Flexradio 6600 at the lake using RemoteKeyerInterface (RKI) and a simple Serial/USB circuit.   RKI is only available for Windows. RKI enables you to use paddles or a straight key to send CW through a remote Flex‑6000 transceiver.  After several iterations I've settled on a design using the Sparkfun FT-231x breakout board and RKI v1.05 that was originally posted by Gary KT7AZ on the RKI  groups.io forum .   However, to send CW reliably via a straight key - there were two main problems I had to solve. First,  I had to resolve the network latency and buffer bloat in my shack's network by setting up a router with Smart Queue Management.   The Ubiquity EdgeRouter  was recommended by a friend of mine (Larry N1FG) and has been working great.  I'm using the 4 port Edgerouter X which was only $50 at microcenter (open box special).  No more audio stuttering or dropped packets, which kills

 Love my Wolf Rive Coil Antenna for POTA use but I haven’t marked it up (yet) to facilitate quick band changes while out in the field.   Here are some notes to use as a starting point based on the work by W0DHZ Dale Henninger: 102″ Telescoping Whip Band Whip Length Coil Position 6m Only 1st section of whip extended No Clicks – Top of Coil 10m 3 sections out + 6″ of 4th section No Clicks – Top of Coil 40m All sections out 3 Fingers Down 213″ Telescoping Whip Band Whip Length Coil Position 10m 8 sections out + 1″ of 9th section No Clicks – Top of Coil 20m 9 sections out + 13″ of 10th section No Clicks – Top of Coil 40m All sections extended 16 clicks down Reminder to subtract the length of the Wolf River Coils SB-1000 coil from the 1/4 Wave lengths above. http://www.w0dhz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/WolfRiver-SB1000-213inWhip-Tuning-Spreadsheet.pdf
