I started with HamPi but switched over to Build-a-Pi by KM4ACK. You really can't go wrong with either but my preference, for what I like to do, is Build-a-Pi. It's an incredible ham radio software ins

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 have 2 pi's. A 3 and a 4 with a touch screen. Not much done with them until now. Now want to setup a "HAM" machine. Flrig/digi,wsjtx,js8call,jtdx would recomendet. Most run with Yaesu radios. Mb uBI

I suggest connecting a 5-ohm or even a 1-ohm load across the output (no R-Pi) and then measuring the voltage. Run it until the regulator gets uncomfortably warm and if that happens very quickly maybe

Hi, I agree. I have an official RPI supply and got the low voltage warning (on RPI2,3 and 4). Checked the voltage and it shows 5.14V. Current consumption was about 1A. I bought one of these of the auc

Also don't forget that anything that is pulling power from one of the USB ports can cause low voltage issues even with the proper supply. Total power all 4 USB ports combines can provide is 1.2A Get B

What is this thing with available "official" power supplies being capable of no more than the Pi requires? Why not make one capable of say 6 amps (or even more) and a short/heavier cord to reduce volt

Agree with the above comments. The power supply for the Pi4 is fairly critical. I've seen issues with my LCD display when running off a battery, which then promptly went away with using the "approved"

John, maybe this will help: The "official" power supply for the 4B is 5.1v., 4 A. A power supply for the 3B+ I have found by trial and error is a 5.25 V., 3 A. This will keep you from getting "low pow

Big enough power supply? I notice the web site explicitly labels the power input at "5v 3A" A description of "doesn't work" would be helpful. Doesn't light up? Display unreadable? "No signal" error? 7

Not clear what difficulties you're having. Though my experience may help. Had bought an 11" monitor rated for both 12 VDC and included AC adapter for use with my RPi. Could not get the monitor to work

While you are looking for small TV/Monitors, don't forget to visit your local Goodwill stores. I've bought a bunch of 13-21 inch units for $10-15. I look for the ones that have DC inputs, often 12 or

Good point David. I should mention that I always use vnc via a ssh tunnel/local forward and never expose a vnc server port to the internet. 73 Glenn VE9GJ
