<p>Speaking of kool kids, I pre-ordered the A-06 version of these:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.clockworkpi.com/uconsole">https://www.clockworkpi.com/uconsole</a></p>
<p>Craig had an early Pine-64 11.6 inch ARM laptop, which has been
updated to a 14 inch with similar specs and pricing as the A-06.
Decided to take a ringer on the uConsole after the various
editions of Pine-64 tablet and laptop go in/out of availability.
Hams using the Pine-64 SMB for SDR have had issues with the
supported OS vs Pi. There also seems to be a bit of internal
politics splattering about with Pine-64. <br>
</p>
<p>Use case:</p>
<ul>
<li>For SOTA/POTA activations - want to do FT8 digital ham
signaling from the top of mountains or chilling in parks.
Digital can be fairly CPU intensive, so its always an experiment
to get the balance of processing vs weight/energy usage/decoding
efficiency. Prefer equipment that is light, power conserving
and rugged - think banging around a backpack up a mountain<br>
</li>
<li>To provide inputs to my revived robotics project. Thinking
direct control via game pad, screen to display - camera imaging,
location on a map, and AI/ML Lidar interpretation of
surroundings</li>
<li>????<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Let you know how the adventure goes<br>

I think Murray wants one, as well.
