Hi Mike

I'm glad that you could make it to the meeting.
I asked about the Raspberry Pi because I saw your handheld.? I am using 
my Pi in a setup called Pi-Star.? It enables me to use my Yaesu 
FTM-3200DR (Digital) to get to the repeater over the internet.
I'm a little too far away even on high power, to reliable "hit" the 
repeater.? I transmit on low power to the Pi.? The Pi connects to the 
repeater via a WiFi connection to my wireless router.
Roger (N5RWK) uses his Pi when he is traveling and out of range of the 
repeater.

The basic Raspberry Pi is a small simple computer.? It is not fast by 
modern standards, but it gets the job done at a low relatively price.? 
It is about the size of a deck of cards.
There are no fees after the purchase.? I connect to you local WiFi 
either wirelessly or wired.

Here is a link to the one I have:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/
I don't know much about the other models.
Maybe someone in the club can jump in and explain the other models.

As far as set up, it depends on what you want to do with it.? You can 
buy one with the memory chip already loaded with the basic Raspberry Pi 
(Linux) operating system.
It will boot up with a MS Windows like display.? Linux is definitely not 
Microsoft.? There are similarities.? Linux came from Unix. Windows 
copied and renamed a lot of the Unix commands. (I'm off the soap box now:)

There are a lot of accessories you can add to the pi.? They plug into 
the motherboard.? I suggest waiting to buy a case, because depending 
what you add to the Pi can make the basic case obsolete. If you do buy a 
simple case, buy a plastic case.? A metal case looks great, but forget 
WiFi working.? Ask me how I know (:

There are many YouTube videos, some 30 seconds, some 30 minutes. I hope 
to not get you into the information overload mode.

Hi Joe, Mike, and all,

I use a DRAWS HAT with my Raspberry Pi.  It is a hardware platform that
puts several amateur radio related apps on a single board.  This is what I
use for tracking the balloon projects with WSJT-X. It handles JS8Call,
DireWolf and a lot of other things I know nothing about!    The DRAWS HAT
handles digital control to my IC-7100.  Other programs can be installed,
but I haven't gotten into that yet.

Gil WB5RFQ  (Mike, I'm the guy who came to the meeting late and sat at the
end of the table.)
