Title: Raspberry pi/Retro pi/Ham pi
Post by: beorn on January 09, 2021, 08:30:46 AM

I think for the homestead, radio shack or emergency shelter the Raspberry pi is a great addition its low power needs quick start up and linux based operating system. It can provide hours of entertainment during periods of boredom as well as store and make readable vast libraries of important prepper information.It also allows for control and security features on the homestead.

Here I set up a Retro Pi pull the SD card out replace it and it becomes a Ham Pi and I am able to reprogram my UV-5R with chirp.
Would anyone like a demo of how the Ham Pi is set up?

I have not finished watching the video yet as this is a busy day. However, I will. And I would be very interested in any Raspberry Pi information for using it for Amateur Radio tasks. I have a Pi 4B, but as yet have not set it up. I am having trouble getting the video connection to work. I will figure that out when I have a chance. I got it with the intention of using it for exactly what you mentioned. Well, except for the gaming. I do want a back-up e-book, .doc, and .xls reader, along with the Amateur radio tasks, other communications monitoring, and weather monitoring and forecasting.


Thank you, beorn. You are a real asset and resource for us.


Just my opinion.
