There are many other Hams that are doing a whole lot more than I am with the Raspberry Pi 4B w/ 4GB memory… Here are links to a few of them whom I am fairly certain will be pursuing this part of the Ham Radio Hobby for the long term: OH8STN – Julian whose radio interests in off-grid communications and […]

Originally a fork of Torsmo, Conky’s torsmo-based code is BSD licensed. New code in Conky has been licensed under the GPL 3.0.” “The name Conky comes from a character in […]
UPDATE: I can no longer recommend going in this direction. I’m not sure what happened – in August everything was going great guns with this section of the SDRPlay forums and, the 32 bit version of the SDRPlay Raspberry Pi image file – to be set up on your RPi4 was made available. The folks at SDRPlay even announced a […]
Court is still out on this one – but I have successfully installed and configured the Pi-hole server on our RPi4 and modified the settings on our Wifi router to use it as the primary DNS server here. I do not believe I can recommend this one to the novice, especially if you are unsure of how to set up […]
These are some of the existing Ham-related packages I intend to exploit on the RPi4 in due time. Most will require a successful hardware interface be accomplished before they can be fully operational. Once they are, (fully operational), the plan is to come back and dedicate a page to each describing what was done to get it going. [X] means […]
Total credit for this post goes to Jason, KM4ACK Fighting sinus headache plus cold/flu symptoms this morning and having a bit of difficulty focusing – and yet, I was able to follow along with the instructions provided in Jason’s latest YouTube video and have “Pat Winlink” running just fine on my Raspberry Pi 4b 4gb. Have already received and responded […]
While I had previously mentioned installing the “gparted” package for “Graphical Partition Editor”, as a package I want to learn in detail soon, I want to point out there is a wonderful little tool provided in Raspbian’s graphical interface/menu system. Raspberry | Accessories | SD Card Copier If you are using the CANAKIT Raspberry Pi 4 4gb Starter Kit mentioned […]
Along with a full install of LibreOffice, I was tickled to see that VLC, (my favorite multimedia player), was loaded by default in the latest “full” version of Raspbian “Buster” off of the provided “NOOBS” installer provided by Canakit. I did install a few more packages by force of habit soon after the install and shared the following with Phil, […]
In a time long, long ago, in a world long forgotten, I was introduced to something called “Unix” and a command line interface via a Unix “shell” called “bash” via an on-line company known as “NetCom.com”. It’s been many years, but I still remember the fascinating power of those commands available to my fingers – all I had to do […]
One of the things I learned early on in playing with Raspberry Pi’s is the sheer convenience of operating them remotely using a program called “VNC” (for Virtual Network Computing/Computer), server edition on the Pi and a “VNC Viewer” on my laptop computer. My existing “Pis” are in a room in the back of the house we call our “Ham […]
