I've had no issues at all with the RPi zero 2W running off the battery mentioned. I am also powering a small USB extender to allow 3 devices to be connected to the single Pi port. I recall some folks

Just in case you hadn't seen it, this video walks you through a BAP installation, Tryg. For the Pi-zero I only selected the minimum of programs to include to run WSJT-X. I installed LinPSK and Fldigi

Roy, the battery I use is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME3ZH7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which is nice in that it also provides a 5v connection for the RPi in addi

Thanks, Tryg. Yes, you can run this setup in the field away from any WiFi network or phone connection and run headless, connecting to an Android tablet. It helps to be using an UPS dongle to get accur

I initially made my portable digi-connection with a RPi-zero, and it worked, but barely. I could not run Fldigi, but found another PSK program that would work, and while WSJT-X ran, the decode time fo

I routinely use my Pi zero 2W both at home and remote to run digital modes on my QRP rig, and connect wirelessly to my phone, Android (Kindle) tablet, or a regular PC for control using VNC. I am runni

If nothing else is needed, use one of your older Pi units to run PiHole. I have a RPi Zero W sitting by itself in the shack, connected to only an old cell charger, that strips around 25% of the pop-up

KM4ACK has made a batch file program that allows you to build up a Pi for ham use with a variety of programs you can choose. Look for "Build-a-Pi" or BAP. He has a YouTube video that takes you through

I use VNC to access my Pi in headless mode from either a PC, an Android phone, or mostly through a Kindle Fire tablet. The IP address is either the same as my router if at home and all on the network,

I just checked (left the rig so I could access it remotely with VNC) and it is 35% or less on the CPU running Fldigi, but not much to decode right now. With WSJT-X it sits at around 10% and jumps to 4

I switched to the aluminum FLIRC Pi-zero case and my problem is solved! With continuous FLdigi use the temperature of the processor is not getting over 115F (46C) and no more shutdowns. That is a very

Some good ideas here. Note, I have more than enough speed to run Fldigi and WSJT-X with the zero 2...no issues with that and I think there is some excess capability, which is why I was thinking of "un

I have had a Raspberry Pi-zero W for a while for portable digital ops...nice and compact and runs forever with low battery drain, but it is a bit slow. FT8 doesn't get decoded before the next cycle mo

Similar issue with mine and it was the Pi-zero that was bad and failing to ever complete a boot up. Replacement has worked flawlessly ever since. =Vic=

Older thread, but I am now using the Pi-zero with PSK-31. The trick is using a more simplified program. LinPSK works like a charm and offers several modes including PSK31 and RTTY. The latest version

While I can run WSJT-X with full rig control on a Raspberry Pi zero W, I was not able to get Fldigi to work. It seemed to just demand more resources than were available and locked up, so I have been l

Follow up for the record. I did find and try another SD card with pretty much the same results...the Pi would lock up at random points during the start and never got running. I ordered a new Raspberry

OK, that explains it. I did see a message flash on the screen on the initial attempt to boot that something was being created or resized. I am using the full Buster, as far as I know. I sort of backpe

The MicroSD card I am using is a Samsung EVO Select 32GB UHS-1 card. It is rated at up to 95MB/s read and 20MB/s write. =Vic=

Thanks for all the replies. I did send a note to Vilros with some questions. I was checking to see if i had any empty MicroSD cards around, and all I had were either double the size or too small. The
