    military laptop LXI & radio set up

    in British Radio Equipment

    Posted

    Just thought I would update my previous post

     

    The laptop purchased at Hack Green and thankfully not at £300.00 they are on sale for on Ebay I found that in addition to the hard drive removed as expected whoever decommissioned the laptop removed the bios chip off the mother board

     

    So that was a blow.

     

    However stripped everything out except the power supply and I am looking at fitting a raspberry pi computer inside.

     

    The monitor then proved to be an obsticle as the wiring did not match anything I could find on the internet so the next plan is to try and fit a secondhand 14 inch monitor in its place

     

    The output from the raspberry is via hdmi so I have an hdmi converter to vga

     

    I will let you know how the next step progresses

    Hello everyone

     

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I have thought about one of the caravan covers and it is on the list to get. I have to tax the beast in November so once is that done I shall look at getting a cover. Having plenty of time is fine but my wife has always got me plenty of other jobs lined up. Cash flow is also the other problem especialy when I have such a low income. As soon as I get into this new forum and learn how to do it I will put some pictures up. My landrover is a 1983 series 3 model released in 1998 then into storage in one once place or another finaly ending up with me earlier this year.

     

    regards

    Hello

    My name is Nick and I am from North Nottinghamshire. I am retired far too early but that is another story LOL....I have driven landrovers for previous employment but this is the first time I have owned a series 3 FFR and am really enjoying my new project. As it is an FFR I have restored much of the Clansman kit into the rear and as a licenced Radio Ham since the 1980's I have also used the kit to make contacts over the air. Still got quite a bit to progess with but having no garage and the weather is becoming a problem any new task will be as and when. Anyway hello to everyone...regards Nick
