[chirp_users] Windows 10 and 11 S Mode

[Chuck Hast]

I buy a Logitech K400 which has a touchpad on it for about $20
at Walmart or other places that sell them. I either use a repurposed
TV or go to the local IT recycler and get me a monitor for $5-$10.
You do not need that much SD card for Chirp so that will cost less
than $10. So far I still am not near $100. Part of being a ham is
learning to scrounge. Part of running a RPi is also learning to
scrounge.  For travel I carry a RPi the keyboard and an HDMI cable
and use the HDMI port on the TV in the hotel.
