I am not and have never been a ham radio operator. However, my dad was a ham from the 1950's (maybe late 40's) until his death in 1980. I still have his logbook. I saw in his logbook that I had written my name in 1959 when I was four years old. For some reason, I remember his callsign. Is there any reason why I should not tell you or someone else his callsign? Thanks for your help. I enjoyed listening to this program.

If I wanted to setup this igate without the display, what steps would I leave out? I'm planning on setting up a few igates at different remote places that won't have or need regular monitoring, I just want them to be able to receive APRS and pass them on to the Internet.

Are there any antenna placement concerns for the RTL-SDR, if I'm also transmitting on VHF at times? I wouldn't want to overload / blow out the SDR when I get on one of the weekly nets...

Is there a 3D printable case that will fit this assembly?

great

neat stuff, thanks for sharing!

Is all the ham community keven rule snobs? where are all the ham hacks at?

How could I hook this up to a kenwood d700a. Yes it has a built-in TNC BUT I want to put it up as an igate/aprs station and later add a weather station. I'm a lot confused how to connect it. The matching up of the rs232 pinouts confuses me.

NOW THIS IS A GREAT TEST! Thank you taking the time out doing your video!!! From N4TUX Boyd Travis Kingsport, TN.

Hi may I have your E-mail? I have a project idea.

Wine for Windows lets you install the Windows version on Linux.

Does that package support Digital Radio Mondiale?

Very Interesting Build and Video. A 3D Printed Case would be great if possible!! 73

The equal sign just spreading his msg from yours

100 percent is a good thing that means he recive all the text your tx cragi

I had a PiZeroWH, 1.3" SPI display and an unused RTL-SDR sitting around and had it up and running very quickly, though not in 10 minutes, as it took a bit longer for updates and installs. Still a nice set of instructions that worked well. As others have mentioned, though, I'd like to see your attempt at a DigiRig to HT setup along the same lines, as you have seemed to cut through the extraneous BS to get it going. Thank you very much for your efforts. BTW, I used RPiOS Bookworm Lite. I have GPSD installed and working to feed position info, using a U-Block based GPS device to set it, and time data.

I sure wish things were as cheap in Canada as they are in the US. I just bought the exact same monitor on Amazon. CA that you have in this video for the Raspberry pi zero for $22.49, $26 after taxes. Nasty. The same Raspberry Pi zero 2w on Canadian Amazon is $34 each. Sigh.

I like the price. I think I'd rather spend a bit more to get a 2 way i-gate though if I'm going to the trouble. As a self respecting HAM/electronics nerd I do have all the bits laying around to make this happen for no out of pocket though so it's still tempting for fun.

Thanks for making this easy!

already have all the parts! Looks like a fun build

Thumbs up for the video. Two thumbs up for the bumper music!

is raspberry pi OS 64bit now?

igates are great, I run one at home too! But PLEASE make it a 2-way! internet services only work if they can get back OUT to your radio! Rx-only breaks the 2-way communication.

With lousy APRS coverage in my area, I really should set up an iGate. Feels a little bit like DSTAR having an iGate in the house, but would be helpful around the neighborhood I suppose.

This channel has really had positive influences on my life. I thoroughly enjoy this content, and I learn a lot. Sincerely, it's life changing information. I learned Linux from doing these little projects.

Nice work with that PL tone nullification filter, Craig. It makes listening so much more enjoyable!

Since these radio cables are DB-9 can I use the same cables as for my Kantronics KPC-3+ Lots of builders have followed this as a good standard. Looks great!

Informative content and nice channel! Wondering if any custom PCBs can help for upcoming topic? Would love to sponsor! (PCBWay zoey)

Aren't this battery banks using some form of buck/boost converter to produce the desired voltage? I doubt they use linear voltage regulators. So how clean they are with be hit and miss,

I was told the RTL-SDR Dongle from Version 3 or higher does do HF Bands ?

Thanks for sharing this video and your thoughts & insights. Much appreciated de AA4SH

Is that a Chet Atkins? I love playing those. Twangy but warm.

SDR++ is one of the better applications for thr RTL-SDR. Unfortunately, it has dependencies in LINUX that conflict with Wine. You can't run both on the same computer 😢. 73.

Do you use zram-tools and log2ram on your linux image? (it REAAAALY helps reduce/eliminate writes to the SD card and makes it last MUCH longer) Very very very cool...gonna get me one! 73's KF5CIF

This looks really intriguing to me. To be sure I understand though, typically I'd use my older VX-5r yaesu with a mobilinkd and my iphone for aprs when out and about. This would allow me to replace the mobilinkd with the pi, and then I can connect the pi to my iphone hotspot and access the pi via web browser to use the functionality?

Its fine if you own a IC7300 but if you dont use your cw sidetone : if it is set at 1 Khz it will work exactly as described in your video but the best way to do it is to use digital mode app WSJT-X on its frequency calibration mode, it has a routine for doing this and the results are very accurate. PS remember the higher the frequency of the time signal the more accurate your calibration will be.

Didn't know the Pi Zero 2W is now $39.99

I am sure there is a video on TH-cam teaching how to open up a sealed carton box...

Two of my pet peeves. Saying callsign and adding "for ID" Ahhh ...what else is you callsign for? At the end of a conversation say callsign then saying clear. Clear from what? That is what police or rescue squads say after being dispatched to a scene and then they are done. "KMG365 clear" meaning they are ready for their next assignment.

Does anyone know if this works over WinLink on HF?

Finally! Looks awesome Craig!👍🤠

APRS frequency for Australia is 145.175 MHz

I plan to use this with my FT-991A. To make use I understand, all I need is a USB cable to connect the Raspberry PI to the radio? Since I have a display all ready for the pi I'm using, will I still need to make the changes to the config file?
