The Raspberry Pi is a great tool for anyone that likes to learn more and do more with HAM radio and computers.? The information is all on the internet.? The challenge is to search out the details for the specific radio you have and it's digital interfaces.? To be honest it doesn't require much programming, but does take a lot of searching for a the missing links in every explanation.? I spent months on it.
I'm very happy with the RPi?for FLDigi for. PSK31 etc, and WSJTX for FT-8, using a Yaesu FT-991a.
Most rescent I bought a ZUM Hotspot for PiStar and find it a lot of fun for digital radio, worldwide with no antenna, just internet.
Good Luck, 73

Subject: Re: [W4PRC] Raspberry pi
First, thanks for responding to my inquiry. Being disabled and on a fixed income kinda limits me too what I can do. I pretty much have to work with what I have. I am unable to do dstar and dmr because I don't have the equipment. I was considering perhaps some of the other digital modes like ft-8 etc. It will be something that I can physically do myself. I do however have a thing for portable operation so something my wife can help me do. I chose the raspberry pi because it was inexpensive and some what powerful for it's size. I have done some programming back in the day with Cobol, Fortran and Pascal but not sure how that would translate to the pi. So what do you think? Something I can do or should I try another approach?
