I need someone to design a pi setup using one of those 4-inch touch screens and an tiny transceiver for an ultraportable JT65 kit. The standard QSO style of jt65 would work well on a small touch screen. Yesterday, I also tried running JT65 on the Pi. I downloaded the software to the Pi, but every time I try to run it, it crashes. The screen comes up for about 3-4 seconds, then it crashes. A buddy of mine who actually knows what he is doing says that maybe it has to be compiled to run on the Pi. Since I don't even really know what that means, I will have to get help on that one. I am reading a webpage right now about a guy using a Pi as a pan adapter with the KX3. There is no end of stuff to do in ham radio with a Pi. |

I suspect a talented person could rig one up to make use of a keyboard to allow one to more easily use digital modes on the kx3. I know the PX3 has a usb port, but I have not heard of any timeframe to allow keyboard entry. I wish I knew how to program. Instead of learning code, I learned Hebrew and Greek. Whoops. |

Found some used LCD's at the local 2nd hand store. The collection included 17" lenovo & dell going for $33 ea., 19" dell for $35. Picked up the lenovo & 19" dell, both looked good so may go back for the 17" dell (getting rid of left over CRT plus something for the PI's)...
These (Arrela Mini 1080P HDMI To VGA Video Converter ) work well for allowing the HDMI output to drive vga : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KPXJW4W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 & are < $12 delivered w/Prime Nick |

That should display some stuff. Post it here. |

I'm considering one of the 2s to swap into my Pi-gameboy-NES emulator. But I'll have to desolder the audio/video connector and the extra USB connector. I'd rather use it for my SDR server, but that really doesn't need the CPU, it needs more bandwidth to my network.

When it starts change the sound device to "pulseaudio". You are getting the alsa sampling rate errors I was talking about in another thread

I'll play with running jt65 on one. Potentially it could be a good micro-station when combined with a softrock rxtx.

The version of Windows 10 that is planned for the pi is not a full blown version but one of the command line IoT (internet of things) builds. The pi2 will actually make usable for something other than a simple single task computer. There are some stirrings of making a slightly more costly version that has a separate lan controller and sata port to be able to build out a more complex system. Possibly in the $50-$75 range. I am perfectly happy with the offering of the pi2 and will more than likley end up replacing my pi's with pi2's. Or just retasking them to other projects like a dropbox server. The big thing is that Broadcom is now embracing the pi system full force and we may start to see some more roubst chips and actually see some of the instructions that Broadcom does not release to the public. The pi2 processor is actually a custom build for them alone. I was about to say there is no way in hell MS is going to give out a Win10 Licence for $35. People would buy them by the pallet just for the keys. Figured there would be a big old string attached to it, and there is. Anyway. I have an original Pi. Set it all up, dicked around on it for a couple hours, and never booted it since. Even then, when I saw this new model, I thought Hey, I should pick one up....again.

Worst case uninstall then reinstall it to get rid of any old settings. |

sudo apt-get install wstjx
Remember in *nix capitalization matters. If you want to see all the ham radio packages type sudo aptitude search ham radio |

Just got my pi 2 today. Once I get windows installed it will displace the B+ as my tinkering rig.
I also got a NoIR camera. One of the projects is a "poor man's" night vision rig for locating varmints. The pi 2 will probably become part of my portable shack, if I can get it to run fldigi and some other useful stuff. |
