I bought a netbook from CompUSA and they are small enough for you to
run the smallest radio station in the world. Its an Acer 150 with a 160 GB HDD and 1 GB of memory enough to run a PCDJ software on it. If my T1115 can run PCDJ then this netbook can, but better. Also you can add a microphone like a microphone headset and get on the air. One thing that is a disadvantage is a line in jack, but you must get an external sound card such as the creative sound card. These netbooks are great for GCC radio broadcasting even for an extra transmitter without programming. Here are the things you need for your netbook. I am planning get
buying more netbooks since I am in small apartment to have more
computers since I do not have room for desktops.
1. USB powered speakers – For audio monitoring
2. External Soundcard – For better sound quality
3. External DVD-ROM Drives or More – Playing CD’s and mp3 CD’s and DVD
4. Wireless or Corded Mouse – For better crossfading with software
5. PC DJ or your favorite radio station software – Required
6. Your current AM or FM transmitter – To get on the air.
7. Ground Loop Isolator ( For Home Installations) – Eliminate Hum Issues
8. Netbook Case – To put away when done
9. External HDD 20 GB or More – For your programming needs.
10. Microphone or Microphone Headset – Speak out!
