I bought the entire N3FJP software package for something like $29.  The 
only problem is that N3FJP has given up with all the changes in State 
QSO parties, and will not support new changes if they make the current 
software obsolete.  So far, for my work, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois 
QSO parties are supported.

I've tried N1MM, and have needed help on each setup, but after I get 
things set up it works like a charm.

BTW, does anyone know of a computer which will run on 12VDC directly?  
I'd love to have such a device.  I have an inverter from 12VDC to 
anything between 3 and 24 VDC, but it sometimes makes RFI.  I had an old 
HP 110+ laptop which worked on 6 VDC as its native power.   I made a 12V 
to 6 v voltage regulator, and ran it.  Unfortunately it used an MS DOS 
different from the IBM version, so non of the software designed for 
IBM's version would work on it.  I kludged together a dupe checker for 
Field Day using Lotus 123 which came with the computer, which worked 
"okay" - but wasn't very versatile.  After a few years I obtained a 
"real" IBM compatible computer, and then one which ran Windows 3.1 and 
later versions.

There's no reason a laptop couldn't be made to run on 11.7 (three 3.7 
volt Li-ION cells) or 12 VDC.  In fact I believe that some of the 
laptops have 3 LiION cells for primary operation.  Has anyone tried 
running them directly off a 12 - 13.8 Volt car battery?
