Eeeham - Ham Radio Applications on the Asus eeepc

Eeeham is dedicated to hamradio applications on the Asus Eee PC – in particular the Eee PC 701 since this is the model I have. In the beginning the idea was to have a set of Linux ham radio applications built on a host computer then packaged and configured so that they can be run off an SD or USB disk on the eeepc. However, the Linux OS that came installed on my Eee PC 701 was one of the worst Linux experiences I have had for many years and I have decided to search for a better one.

Since December 2009, I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on my Eee PC 701. I have also tried the so-called netbook remix editions; however, these did not work well on this first generation netbook.

Now that I have Ubuntu 9.04 runnign on my Asus Eee PC 701 it was very easy to get Gpredict up and running. After a few configuration tweaks related to the views it runs and looks very well even on this small 800x480 pixel display!

Watch in high resolution.

Thus, I have now following hamradio applications running on the Eee PC:

It's been more than a year now that I last posted an update about using my Asus Eee PC 701 for hamradio. To be honest, my Eee PC has been more or less idle ever since. Back in August 2008 I have decided that I need a newer and better OS on it than the Asus/Xandros that it came installed with. I tried a few one every now and then but without any satisfactory results. Until now...
