Will RF Explorer applications run on a Microsoft Surface 3 tablet?

[Gary Mulholland]

Hi all.

New to the group and I've just bought an RF Explorer 6G Combo Plus.  I'm a touring musician with a lot of wireless equipment, hence the need for the RFE.

Does anyone know if a Microsoft Surface 3 (it's a Windows tablet, not a laptop) will run the various RF Explorer apps, and possibly Clear Waves?  I'm a Mac guy with no use for a Windows machine in general except for use with my RFE, and I also need the smallest, lightest solution possible....hence why I'm looking at a used Microsoft Surface Go 3.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Gary

Hi Gary,

RF Explorer can work with certain versions of Microsoft Surface. Unfortunately, the Surface 3 is a GO model with a limited Windows in S mode, which is very restrictive and does not allow the installation of normal applications or drivers.

You can use a Microsoft Surface Pro, or you can opt for any other Windows tablet with unrestricted Windows. For instance, CHUWI provides reliable, low-cost Windows tablets that work well with RF Explorer and cost a fraction of a Microsoft Surface tablet.

Additionally, you may want to consider using the new RF Explorer Pro, recently introduced to the market, which is a tablet itself and does not require any extra device. It is the most compact and cost-effective solution: https://www.emrss.com/collections/rf-explorer/products/rf-explorer-pro-touch-screen-spectrum-analyzer

This new model also includes software options for Frequency Coordination, which are usually essential for musicians with wireless audio devices.

Hi guys

Thanks so much for this info! As I'm not a Windows guy, I had no idea the Surface Go version of Windows is unsuitable.  I really appreciate the heads-up with this.

Re. the RF Explorer Pro, it's wayyyy too expensive, especially here in Australia....unfortunately. It's somewhere around AU$1800+ !

Hi guys

I've just been reading up about Windows S mode and it's dead simple to switch from S mode to regular Windows Home or Pro.  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307#WindowsVersion=Windows_10

Does this mean that I CAN use a Surface Go after all?
