About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

I went to buy a laptop and saw that many run windows with S mode. Looking
it up implies that it can only run software that comes from the Windows AP
store.
I assume this is a no-go for a ham that wants to run a variety of Ham
software? Could this be why some people have trouble running some things
on Windows 10?

Bob,
Windows 10 S can be switched out of S mode:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020089/windows-10-in-s-mode-faq
This would obviously be necessary to run, well, just about anything
since the Microsoft Store doesn't have much of a selection of anything
interesting (to me at least).
I don't know why people have problems running ham applications on
Windows 10 vs. Windows 7. Everything I've tried runs without a problem
as long as you adjust the applicable settings properly. There are some
older programs that require special treatment to get running on
Windows 10, but most of the major stuff works just fine without a
hassle.

Hi Bob!
Paul is right-on that converting Windows-10 from "S-Mode" is free and
simple to do. Anyone finding themselves with a new computer with "S-Mode"
installed of course needs to do that on Day-1.
The other factor that can have a major impact on 3rd-party hobby software,
especially the wonderful free apps produced by folks right here in the
Amateur Community, is the folder where you install the app.
Due to permission issues, except for commercial apps like MS Office, etc.,
100% of my software is installed in a new "apps" folder that I created
under my user ID (normally 'C:\Users\{your_PC_username}\apps\) where you
have complete permission to add/delete/modify files & folders without
restriction.
That one simple change in how (actually "where") you put your hobby
software will prevent all kinds of problems.

Before I list this on the usual amateur radio sales sites, I thought I'd
offer it to the AMSAT community.
It has served me well on the satellites and elsewhere. With an IC-9700 and
IC-7300, this is excess to my needs.
IC-9100 with 1.2 GHz module, carrying handle, mic, power cable, manual and
original box. No other optional
modules/accessories.
$1425 shipped CONUS.
