I forgot to mention one other thing I changed - I also experimented with using the raspberry pi imaging software package - worked like a charm (after making sure I had enough room).

I found that Rufus on WIndows 11 didn't image the USB drive properly but balenaEtcher worked fine.? Not sure if that helps.

HamPC is configured for UEFI boot aka "Trusted" boot. I don't believe it starts under legacy Boot. Have y'all tried booting using UEFI enabled?

I had it working in relatively short order - for me the hangup was that while I had enough room on my C: drive for the compressed image file, I did not have enough for Rufus to uncompress and write the image to the USB key. Rufus was not reporting what the failure was being caused by, I just got lucky and tripped over that detail.
I am trying to do a permanent install onto one of those $60 evolve laptops - that is proving a wee bit more difficult.

Jeff,
? ? ? I am not a Linux Guru by any means, BUT I have the same issue, I know that he will fix this in the near future. I utilize Linux and enjoy it very much, BUT this is not working for me either.
Looking forward to taking this for a test drive.

Hi Jeff
I had the same problem just an hour ago. Now, I am trying to flash the 64 GB USB stick with Balena Etcher (a tool that I successfully used just yesterday on my Arch Linux notebook for flashing a HamPI SD card) and it seems to work. By the way, this time under Win10 on an old Desktop PC. It still runs (now at 21%), so I cannot tell you if it succeeds. But I hope so.
Please give it a try.

Hello to all the new people who have recently joined the HamPC group on groups.io!
My name is Dave, W3DJS, and I am the curator of HamPC and its sister software, HamPi.
If you're looking for information on HamPC, I provide a "one-stop shop" for information on a Linktree at:
(That works for both HamPi and HamPC)
Also, this group is a "safe place" for all questions -- there are no "dumb" questions. There are "new" users, and they will have plenty of questions that I perhaps have not even anticipated.
Glad to have you all aboard!
Thanks, and 73,

Fellow Hams,
I am pleased to announce that?, the comprehensive ham radio software for the PC brought to you by the creator of the award-winning HamPi, is now available for public download.
Direct Download Link:?
If you run into issues, please post to the forum on? /g/HamPC/?first. If you see a bug (defect), please report it on the GitHub issues page at:?
Did you know that HamPi and HamPC have a wiki? Find it at?
CHANGELOG:
Version 3.0,1 (August 2022) Release
==============================
*** Add HamPC support for Xubuntu Impish ***
This version of HamPC should be functionally identical to
HamPi 3.0.1p (May 2022) Release, with the exception that
three Raspberry Pi-specific applications are not present,
and now that Python2 has been removed from Xubuntu, two
programs that depend on Python2 have also been removed.
Pi34StatsMonitor
RpiTx
WsprryPi
Chirp
D-Rats
Good luck and 73!

Re: Can I test a new version of Ham-PC for you?

When you turn on the evolve, press the Esc key rapidly multiple times and it should bring up the Setup Utility.? You will probably recognize it as the AMI BIOS from the last century.

I haven't read anything about how much it effects the battery life. I also haven't looked for any reports of CPU speed tests, but I'd say it should probably test as equal or faster than a Raspberry Pi 4B for similar money. I'll have to grab one so I can try Ham-PC on it. I really don't like Windows,?but can always replace the OS if it doesn't work out.?

Re: Can I test a new version of Ham-PC for you?
The Evolve III I have has a 1.1 GHz Celeron with 4 GB RAM, so I wouldn't see why not?
Will this work on a older single core 1.7ghz 8gb ram laptop??
I just got an Evolve III myself and am trying to build a new version of HamPC to test on it...
73,
I did the very same thing usig a ASUS version of the same system.? What I had to do is clone the existing version of HAMPc to? flash drive 32Gb or 64 Gb and then use the flash drive to clone HAMPc to the EMMC on the laptop.? Mine work wonderfully.
