NEW: My portable ham radio setup V2 for the Raspberry Pi4 My portable ham radio setup for the Raspberry Pi3 Then I bought a Raspberry 4b with 2GB, which runs now perfectly. When installing the following programs I had problems with LAN and WLAN again and again. Note: My first Raspberry 4b was the 4GB version.
I will update the manual regularly and possibly also add new programs. General Information (last but not least).
Install CQRLOG + TQSL (Advanced Ham Radio Logbook).Install Packet Radio (Hamlib, Direwolf, Xastir, Linpac).First start and basic setup Raspberry pi (Raspi).Ham Clock is also a nice Raspberry Pi App. If you have problems I recommend to visit the homepage of the corresponding programs and to read the instructions. Here the visit of the homepage of KI6ZHD is recommended. Here a deeper introduction into the problem is necessary. Sometimes something doesn’t work although the installation instructions are relatively clear.
If you cannot or do not want to install software yourself, you can also buy a ready-to-use SD card on the G4WNC homepage Īdditional Information: Installing the programs under Raspbian (Linux) is not always easy. Please also copy and paste in the same way. It is important that you enter one line at a time and press return each time. You can copy it by hand and enter it in the LXTerminal or better you connect to a second computer via VNC or via ssh, then you can copy and paste the commands directly from my homepage. The input takes place in the LXTerminal of the Raspbian OS. Let’s talk briefly about programming. In these instructions you will find code windows again and again. The instructions are based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge in the use of electronics and computers and that you are a licensed amateur radio operator or short wave listener.
Please understand that I don’t have much time for support due to professional reasons. My choice of programs has the advantage that they are compatible with each other. There are many ways and many software to make the Pi fit for Ham Radio. With version 4 it is fast enough to fulfill all tasks. He makes this software for the signals intelligence market on the commercial side, but provides a free version for hobby use.I am a big friend of the small Raspberry Pi which and use this gladly for amateur radio. His latest project is the wonderful SDR-Radio for software defined radios, which I also use. I still use his last non-commercial version 5.īorn in the UK, Simon has now returned to England as G4ELI. During 2012, Simon sold Ham Radio Deluxe to a group of U.S. Gradually, they expanded its features and developed a base of 100,000 users. It was developed by these European hams as a free program. HRD was created by Simon Brown HB9DRV (and the late Peter Halpin PH1PH) in 2003. Ham Radio Deluxe – Tribute to Simon Brown If you want more detail, you might check this video review. This information is also shown in a real time frequency map on the right of the screen. This is an online service hams use to notify each other about what foreign stations are on the air in real time.
