Pacman is SIMPLE...(really...by design). Um, you can go to the wiki at archlinux and learn about it and (my) preferred pacman manager; "yay" . I *should* let you know that I run MOST of my ham radio s

If you want a genuine Debian Buster 64 bit or Debian Bullseye 64 bit go to https://raspi.debian.net/tested-images and download your preference, put it on an SD and boot it. You will boot to the comman

I did not know the owner was a YL ham.. Cool... I have in the past used adafruit when I was working as a consulting engineer. Been awhile since I checked them out. They did have quality products and I

Thank you Larry for the link. I saved it in my new Pi folder. Wife and I being retired and on fix income means having to wait for a real need before buying anything... The Pi4 is on that list now. 73

I totally agree Fred, I will be using my Pi3B, running Ham_pi and connected to my Xiegu G90 TRX. With some luck the XYL will be starting RV trips and this will now be my take it with me setup. I will

Running on the desktop where power is abundant, an RPi4 seems logical. But, for portable use, maybe a less hungry RPi is a better choice. N7FMH

Here's a link to a $35 RPi-4 2GB board. Micro Center is an official dealer. https://www.microcenter.com/product/621439/raspberry-pi-4-model-b---2gb-ddr4 I bought two RPi-4 4 GB boards at the Columbus,

$35 is the bare board. Most retailers are selling a "starter kit" which is an SD card, power supply, pi and the case.

Bob, I was just looking at Manjaro last night. I think it's worth a try. My only reservation was that I have no experience with packman. I also have the 8gb model. Thanks Jay WB2QQJ

Actually all I have found were 4 and 8GB boards and not 2GB. That explains a lot.. Thank you 73 Harry K7ZOV

Thank you for the information. I am presently using a Pi 3B... I noticed that this is a 2GB board. All the ones I saw were either 4 or 8GB. That could explain the cost difference. For my uses at this

Harry- Here are prices for many versions of the Raspberry Pi. The RPI4-2GB is listed for $35USD https://vilros.com/collections/raspberry-pi?page=1&rb_snize_facet13=boards They have a "kit" for $46. th

Nope, the Pi4 - 2 GB is $35 $55 for the 4GB & $75 for the 8GB version. You are probably looking @ kit prices, which include power supplies, heat sinks, cases, fans, etc. Which are more expensive. 73 -

Who is selling a Pi4 for $35??? All the Pi4's I have seen lately are at least twice that $35 might be counterfeit

I run Manjaro as my main desktop system....pi4-8gB. Full 64bit (which is why I use the 8gB model). Been doing this since Manjaro aarch64 became available in late 2019. (Initially on a 4gB model.) Work

The pi 3b and 3b+ also have 64 bit processors. The 64bit Raspberry PiOS is available, but it is still Beta. With the regular RaspberryPiOS, you can enable the 64 bit kernel by adding arm_64bit=1 to co

Good morning, Are most running raspberry OS, or another distribution? I'm using pi 4s and have found most distributions don't run well on my pi. However there still isn't a 64bit Raspberry OS. And, bl

Why not just get a Pi4 for $35 and save yourself the frustration? Mark KD0QYN

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
