Seems the Raspberry PI's aren't quite so robust... I've had two (of five) get fubar'ed and need a rebuild while doing a "clean" shutdown. It appears the common issue is the external HD USB drive. This

What are folks planning to use for radios? That's the hard part of 9600 baud. Discriminator flat audio is required instead of speaker audio. Has anybody actually used Dire Wolf or the equivalents like

There's an nice project for running MESH on the PI at http://hsmmpi.wordpress.com/ Good Luck. Bill, WA7NWP

Cool... Thanks! 1200 baud only? Any chance of getting the other speeds - 300, 2400, 4800, 9600? > Bill, WA7NWP

How about sending the same 'data' from the file as 9600 baud IP datagrams... Bill

Hopefully that's the same combined cable used by many modern, but not HDMI modern, devices like portable DVD players. This will eliminate a couple adapters and a small jumper to make the cable between

Both are good solutions - but what if you had to get a radio today? What options are there?

What are you planning to use for radios? Bill

Here's one that apparently has room for the TNC-PI. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B88ANKU/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00 Unfortunately most of these cases are plastic and not a nice RF shielding met

Do you have some local friends or acquaintances working with BBHN-MESH? That's the best way to get started. You'll want at least two other mesh 'nodes' (RPI, Ubiquity or WRT54G) to make it really play

MCM is a good company and the little WiFi modules are really cute... FWIW - The TP-LINK TL-WN722N is an alternate WiFI radio with an external antenna for not much more money: http://www.amazon.com/gp/

Isn't it generally advantageous to use external USB sound devices with radio applications? In that case even the RPI can often play along. The integrated sound in the PI has worked well for me on movi

The 'keyboarding' that was always a lot of fun in the old packet world and I miss these days is the conference chat modes. Look at either the CHAT program of the BPQ tools or the native Linux AX25 too

Digi-ned does that and should run fine on a PI. http://digined.pe1mew.nl/?What_DIGI_NED_does:Satellite_tracking 73 Bill, WA7NWP PS. I'd really enjoy a tweak to digi_ned so it would announce 'visible'

Is the 706 set to FM-N? That might not work with legacy 1200 baud packet... I do know that I can't get into a local packet repeater (NOT a digipeater - but a true repeater) with my Kenwood 700. The 'r

That metal case may be more radio friendly than most others.

Here are two good options: http://wa8lmf.net/ham/imic.htm http://wa8lmf.net/ham/uca202.htm Bill

Check out the nw-mesh yahoo group. Bill

What did you use for the radio/Wifi dongle? This could make a great mobile packet (BPQmail/chat of course), Wifi server and MESH node. Bill, WA7NWP
