<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Thanks for these liinks. I have checked out the QRP Lab pages. I'm wondering what interface is necessary. They say it generates WSPR beacon reports without a computer. For other modes, does it take a computer, or at least a keyboard? Is an RPi a helpful part of the station? <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I think I am interested in the transmitter, GPS module, 6 band relay switch kit, the enclosure kit, 5watt PA, and possibly the receiver kit. Then I may need to add an RPi and keyboard. Hey, if I'm going to do this, I might as well do it right!<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">73, de Gil WB5RFQ<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 2:23 PM, Roger Klein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rwklein@katyweb.net" target="_blank">rwklein@katyweb.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div class="m_-5182366660362979072WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Folks,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I expect to have one of the QRP Labs $33 Ultimate3S kits at the April 26 meeting that everyone can take a look at.
