A long time back, prior to my cancer diagnosis, I bought a Zumspot RPi and had it setup and working with my Yeasu dual band. I didn't do anything with it and basically forgot about it after my Yeasu radio died. So, now I have bought a new Yeasu dual band. When I went to setup the Zumspot, the thing will not initialize and therefore I cannot configure it. So, I went to the Zumspot web page and they don't even list the RPi model. What do I do now? it was a little expensive and I hate to throw it away. Is there anyway that I can get it to recover. I cannot find an rPI image anywhere, I am wondering if it is similar enough to use an image for any other of their products. Does anyone know?

Your SD card might be corrupted. You can always format it and reflash the card with a new image.  Whatever you do don't throw it out.

Is this the Zumspot mini?

You can grab WPSD and use that.

Its a Zumspot RPi with 3.5 inch screen. Zumspot has no images on their website.

You don't need a Zumspot image. WPSD is my current recommendation for an MMDVM hotspopt, but Pi-Star will work as well.

Ok, thanks for the info. I have an infusion in the morning but will look into this tomorrow.

As luck might have it, I have found another identical unit. I plan to clone the memory card before doing anything else.  Lesson learned.
