- Much appreciate your podcast and listen when I can. I would love to hear more for beginning DragonOS/Linux users. I certainly know enough to be dangerous, so need to upgrade my old Hp-UX. I am having issues with updates/upgrades on my old ASUS repurposed laptop. It is failing to boot on the new upgrades linux versions. I replaced the old HD drive with a SSD, when I put it together. I did the DragonOS and 73Linux install from Ham Radio Crusader. I have updated to wsjt-x 3.0 and it works well. Also installed gridtracker2, so it will update my QRZ log for me. I want to get PotaCat running so I can tie to my new ic7300 Mk2 and run it remote from my tablet or phone. Mostly using it for wsjt-x, with gridtracker2. I want to take this laptop to the field for POTA activations and expand on its use. Satellite tracking is another area, as well. So in general anything on DragonOS maintenance, adding new apps like POTACat, gridtracker2 or other interesting HAM tools to the mix would be great! Also any basic Linux tools to manage it. I still need to learn how to add access to my wifi printer and other pcs as well. Ham On and blessing to the Ham Shack family from Texas.

- He just a quick suggestion, look into potacat. Its a very interesting new program for doing POTA both on your computer and remotely.
