General Meeting – March 2025 – Easy Digital Ops With DigiPi

Please join RWK on Monday Mar 10th for our General Meeting. 

We all know that digital operating modes have really transformed ham radio in the last few years, and now represent the majority of QSOs on the HF bands. But it can be a challenge to install and configure all the different pieces of software and interfaces that are required to make the various digital modes possible. Luckily someone has done all the hard work. Craig KM6LYW has created the DigiPi project. DigiPi is an easy-to-use amateur radio data transceiver hotspot for Raspberry Pi. All radio data modes are easily accessible over wifi via your phone or web browser. Make FT8, JS8Call, APRS and packet modes work like any other mobile phone app. Hookup a DigiPi to your rig and instantly have access to radio SMS, EMail, and texting. Ultra-light, low-power makes it indispensable for Summit and Park operations. Craig will show us how DigiPi can make digital modes easy and portable.
