SHOPPING/PLANNING NOTES FOR RASPBERRY PI OR OTHER COMPUTER SOLUTIONS TO BE USED FOR HAM DIGITAL MODES - By Jerry Rice - KB9V


We enjoyed another presentation by Jerry Rice - KB9V, at our most recent Club meeting. Jerry's presentation focused on JS8 Call, but also dealt with using similar setups to do FT8, FT4, APRS, WinLink, and other digital modes. Follow the LINK HERE to see a comprehensive writeup that Jerry has now provided to guide us in what equipment and accessories are needed for these modes, selection of desired mode of operation, configuration for those nodes, and so on. He has likewise provided helpful internet links to assist in understanding and implementing these modes. This is powerful and helpful information. Click the link above to see the file.
