Toughbook FZ-M1


 

Hello,
?
Has anyone tried 73 Linux with the FZ-M1 Toughbook tablet. It has a 7" screen and I was wondering if the apps like FT8 worked on it. I have an opportunity to get an FZ-M1.
?
Thanks

I can't see why not. My CF 19 works but has issues with FLrig and Pat Winlink, JS8call & FT 8 talking. GPS if you have the driver is not picked up. I use a USB GPS from Amazon, or the GPS in the IC 705. I made my dual boot.?

FLrig changes frequencies, it will not TX for your info. My Win 10 side doesn't key (TX) the radio using JS8call or FT 8 using Flrig. However, if I use VaraAC Flrig will TX. I don't understand why it works for FLDIGI and VaraAC, but not for the other programs in Linux or Windows.

Besides you can use a Bluetooth Keyboard if you get tired of using the plastic pen.
