I just don't know what I would do without your videos. Trying to set up raspberry pi 4 as a newbie. Thank you so much
Getting my technician soon and have had a raspberry pi for a while and want to use it
Great overview, thanks for sharing. This is exactly what I have been looking for to get going with my Raspberry Pi
Cool! Thanks for watching. 73, de KM4ACK
I’m a software engineer from Arkansas. Hearing you say some of these terms in your accent made me smile. Subbed.
Woohoo! Always like to see new subscribers. Hard to hide my southern accent :-) 73, de KM4ACK
@@KM4ACK I'm a West Virginian living in the north but I still struggle with my accent haha
This is perfect I've had a pi2 and 3 sitting collecting dust. Now I can put them to work. I see a digipeater and field hot spot in my near future.
Great overview and lead in to the rest of the videos !
Thanks Don. I think this one was long overdue. 73, KM4ACK
Very cool man.. good stuff. Thanks for your time and effort to share info.
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks for the info. We chatted on UHF a few months back. I'm getting into digital modes as of now so I'm getting a Raspberry Pi

Yep. I think we chatted on MTEARS if I remember correctly.73, de KM4ACK
Very good info to get the most out of a PI !
Thanks Andy! 73, de KM4ACK
Hi ! EA4IL , I love your videos about hamradio and RasbeyyPi, Thanks for your work !!
Thanks José 73, de KM4ACK
Clear and concise!
Thank you! And thanks for watching and supporting the channel. 73, de KM4ACK
@@KM4ACK not a problem! I totally learned something new from the video. The portion about using it as a hotspot but it also connects when at home! Ive been using Pat Winlink on a Pi at home but plan on putting it on a mobile AREDN node for EMCOMM purposes as an extra tool. Have not dabbled in the RDop portion yet as I do not have privileges. Eventually I may upgrade. At any rate the Pi is pretty versatile and loads more software can be installed to fit the needs of us hams! I like that!

If you have any 2M gateways in range, you might want to check out packet for winlink. th-cam.com/video/o8OBF47UkeI/w-d-xo.html For autohotspot, I am working on a script to automate the install process. Shoot me an email, mycall@arrl.net, it you want to beta test. Don't have a vid on it yet but can email instructions. de KM4ACK
I just used the AmRRON scripts to install more amateur radio software than I'll need on an 11 year old Asus Eee PC that I plan on using as a control computer for digital modes in the field. It even installed the world famous KM4ACK getardoplist script (thank you very much). When I get the Pi 4, I'll use the AmRRON scripts to install the ham software. The scripts made it so easy to get and maintain the latest software.
World famous
Your videos are awesome!
Can you link to the backup video?
Have you played with a draws hat?
Also, would love to see a video on logging into a packet bbs and/or setting up a packet bbs with bpq32 or something like that.
Backup Your Pi The Easy Way th-cam.com/video/hiCpBm0KAvA/w-d-xo.html I haven’t played with draws hat yet. They are suppose to send me one to review so hopefully soon. Thanks for watching. de KM4ACK
Great video
I am starting with the Raspberry pi and ham radio, any suggestion on wich is the best way to go, signalink, TNC-Pi, sound card or other tnc's available?, the primary projects i have in mind is to use it with winlink and move to the digital modes.
The tncpi will limit your options going forward a bit. Mine sits in the closet. I prefer the signalink or the wolphi. Signalink more expensive but a bit easier to work with. Wolphi is half the price but takes more fiddling. There’s always the build your own option...google is your friend. One last mention if you like to build things is the easy digi available on eBay. There are many other options so maybe others will chime in. Everyone has their favorites. Thanks for watching. 73, de KM4ACK
Initial install: Use Ubuntu MATE. If necessary (RPi4) install the server first then install the MATE desktop via the command line.
I know you did your Bild a Pi v2 video and script. One question when watching this video is the information similar (or the same) for "buster"? By that I mean the information about the three versions of Raspian "stretch" and the configurations that you describe.
Yes. Buster offers 3 versions as well. I use the "middle one" desktop only. I don't need the recommended software but want the GUI interface.
I've been studying technician, general, and extra hard the past month. I have a raspberrypi and am getting a memory card, I'm hoping to take the licensing test the 19th to see how far I make it.
Once I do I want to make a ham radio from a raspberrypi, I have the new pi with 4 ram, and the arduino uno starter kit to learn, also just started electronics and explosives for my EOD class at college.
This is going to sound stupid but id love to make a mobile raspberrypi HAM almost like a fallout pipboy if possible
Did you get your license? I started studying for Technician about the same time as you. Took my General in July, and my Extra this month.
Congrats!
I just found your video on raspberry pie etc, and your helpful information ty,ty sir just what I need .greenhorn willing to learn and grow.73

Have you had a chance to look at the raspberry pi 400 kit at all? Intersted on your thoughts for portable use
I haven't. I am not a fan of the form factor for portable work. I prefer using a tablet connected to a headless pi. I have reports that Build a Pi runs well on the 400 so it really comes down to personal preference.
I have been watching your PI videos trying to learn a bit more - this is interesting stuff! when you talk about autohotspot generating a hotspot when you are away from your shack, what is it connecting to in order to provide internet access, or am I not understanding? Thanks for your patience/help...
It doesn't provide internet access. It creates a network using WiFi that you can connect to with another wireless device to control the pi. This allows you to run the pi "headless" meaning no keyboard, mouse, or monitor. Your wireless device replaces these peripherals.
@@KM4ACK Ok, that makes sense! I appreciate you taking time to answer such a basic question. Have a great weekend!
Another fine video. You might get tired of my questions …. Sorry for any annoyance! Haha. HotSpot Question - I imagine this would require the WiFi IP address to be static since the DHCP server for the house or QTH, will not be available in the field when you are without the router. So I would probably configure the WiFi IP Address on the Pi to static that would have the same internal IP address. You may describe that in one of your videos, I just haven’t noticed it. In the end, the static IP address would then give the tablet a consistent IP address of the Pi to connect to. Make sense?
When the Pi is in hotspot mode, it has a static IP of 10.10.10.10. Full details for the hotspot are in this video th-cam.com/video/WqyPgj3cDKE/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for your continued support! 73, de KM4ACK
I’m enjoying the videos Jason. Any thought on doing HF APRS using PSK-63 on 30, 40 or 80 meters? I’ve been doing some research and am going to add to my pi this weekend... I think Direwolf / Xastir coupled with FLDigi might be able to make it happen. I borked my install up prior to backing it up last time I tried to build FLDigi so I’m starting fresh this weekend... thanks for the tip on backing up :-D
73 de N2XU.
I have done HF APRS on 30 but not with PSK-63. It uses xastir and direwolf to accomplish the task. Goes out as packet at 300 baud. Might need to look into PSK-63 for it though. Haven't seen that done before but I only did the HF as an experiment. Here''s the vid on how I set it up. th-cam.com/video/tOt-hc1lj7I/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching! 73, KM4ACK
The PSK-63 is a little more fault tolerant. I’ve been doing some reading but there aren’t a lot of folks doing it.
WA4ZKO showed it and Robust Packet requiring the SCS modems. I’m under the impression that static crashes would kill 300 baud FSK if there is noise on frequency but PSK has fault tolerance built in... willing to try it with you if you’d like. I’m trying to bake it into my RasPi.
I’m on the FL panhandle so I think we could do NVIS.
FYI I do make it up to your neck of the woods, Brother lives in Franklin...
73 de N2xu.
I’ll have to research it a bit after field day. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 😀 73, de KM4ACK
Another thought....Have you tried APRS with JS8Call? I find it super reliable and with a bit of extra setup it can be automated albeit on a time basis. So far, no smart beacon. th-cam.com/video/hULNpY77I_w/w-d-xo.html de KM4ACK
Haven't gotten there yet... trying to get a solid foundation with the hotspot and the GPS stuff... Will be contacting you soon via Winlink email as I build the station out.
Thank you for informative series, I have a pi4 up and running ft8 wspr etc on my xiegu g90.
I have noticed that when I go above 1w the pi freezes and reboots.
I have ferrite beads on the power, usb and audio cables. I was wondering if you had come across this issue and if so do you have any advice to overcome it ?
More than likely it is RFI interference. Shorten every cable going into the pi as much as possible. Try relocating the pi or antenna. Unplug anything going into the pi that isn't currently being used. RFI can be a real beast of a problem to solve sometimes. It has bitten me more than once. th-cam.com/video/84OIKKt8eKM/w-d-xo.html
@@KM4ACK More ferrite beads did the trick, thank you 🙏🏻 73
Cool
I saw on Amazon a board that goes under the Pi that gives the ability to have 2 hard drives. Is there really the need for something like a 1T hard drive ? Maybe logging software. For a permanent record of all contacts.
I am only running a 32gb card in my pi. As much as I do with it on a daily basis, I am only using about 12gb total. You can always add a USB thumb drive later if you need more storage. I use a thumb drive for daily backups of my home directory.
@@KM4ACK The only thing a drive could give you is a little speed, But the cost would be very high! I just thought that with a small computer like this you can put 2 hard drives on it. The card that lets you use the hard drives also lets you power it from 9 - 16 volts. It has a buck converter made into it. But there is a fan to put on it that also has a buck converter so it can be powered from around 12 volts. I hear that a fan would be good for it. Thank You for the information! I am a new Ham and at this time only on VHF-UHF. But want to get into HF. But money is the big trouble.
This is fine and dandy , but the way I understand it to get audio input into the PI you need to interface a sound card to the PI .. It seems to me that what are explaining is mostly internet/wifi/bluetooth connections... I want to do stand alone RTTY or CW with my radio or just SWL via SDR . Didn't hear you mentioning anything about interfacing except plugging in a time/gps dongle.
Yes, you need some sort of audio interface. You only need internet while you are setting up the pi do download and install the apps you need. After that, wifi is only used on the pi to generate a hotspot so you can connect to the pi with your phone/tablet. Bluetooth is only used for connecting the pi to a mobilinkd TNC. RTTY is VERY possible with just the pi, radio, and some sort of device (phone/tablet) to use as the monitor/keyboard/mouse. 73, de KM4ACK
Jason. Thanks for the videos. I just purchased a Pi4 kit and downloaded the 32 bit software loaded. I configured it following all the prompts and watching your videos. I cannot get the wireless to fully connect. I entered the SSID and password it sees the network, but the WiFi symbol just keeps scrolling up like it is looking for the network. Not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Larry, There are reported cases where the HDMI can cause issues with the WiFi depending on which resolution your are using. hackaday.com/2019/11/28/raspberry-pi-4-hdmi-is-jamming-its-own-wifi/ Also, check the forum to see if other users have run into a similar issue. groups.io/g/KM4ACK-Pi/topics
Hi Jason, I just bought a Raspberry Pi 4 8Mb and want to make your build. I've seen you have posted varios versions and being a new ham (KO4EKW) I am just grabbing bits of information. From which video on you recommend me to follow? Regards, 73's

@@KM4ACK Thanks a lot!!
Hey KM4ACK, I am a subscriber to your channel and really enjoy your content. I was wondering if you can make a tutorial on how to make a repeater with openrepeater. Using the same cable you did in November 2018 with the easydigi. They state on openrepeater.com that you can use an easydigi to make a repeater with the pi. 73's KM6YMM.
Hey Bryson, With only only one radio, you would have a simplex (parrot) repeater. Say something, the pi will record it, and then play it back over the same frequency. I actually played openrepeater a while back. I got the menus working but couldn't quite get the repeater function working. Think it was something with the audio levels. I may get back around to that at some point in the future but for now I went a different route. I'll do a vid on it when I get a chance to finish up the project. Thanks for subscribing and watching! de KM4ACK
👍👍
What program are you using to make your backups?
I use the built in SD card copier on the Pi.
Auto hot spot?? I had no idea that was a thing
Indeed it is and works well. Takes time to configure but I am working on a script to automate the process. If you want to beta test, shoot me an email. mycall@arrl.net de KM4ACK
that's awsome auto hotspot

Thanks for sharing this information. I bought a Raspberry Pi a couple years ago and tried it out and was using it on some digital modes, then had an issue with something I downloaded and finally I just put it on the shelf. Now that I have a uBitx radio as a portable rig, I wanted to use the Raspberry Pi with it, so I have taken off the shelf and basically started all over again trying to set it up. I have a touch screen on the Pi and have downloaded FLdigi and getting it setup. I have a USB soundcard to use with the radio and the Pi. I plan to do some watching of your other videos and see that I will need to get the GPS unit since I like to do FT8 and I want the Pi to have the correct time. Again thanks for sharing this video and your others. DE WD8WV
Welcome to the channel. I have several playlists that should help you out getting the pi setup. I don't own a uBitx so I might not be able to help with radio specific things but feel free to email me if you run into a jam. I'm good on qrz. Thanks for watching! de KM4ACK
@@KM4ACK. thanks I just may do that. Like I said I had it working before on the uBitx. It uses the FT817 CAT setup to control the uBitx. The Pi plugs directly to the raduino that is in the rig. Dr. LEE KD8CEC has a blog on the web where he uses the Pi to control the rig. Very interesting readings on his blog, I even setup my uBitx with a Nextion touch screen display, almost looks like and Icom. LOL I have a video of that on my TH-cam channel, as well as the QCX40 cw qrp rig that I built. Thanks for responding to my comment, I have sub'd to your channel due to all the good information I have found. A lot has changed since I came back into the hobby after a 12 year absence. PSK31 was the king of digital when I stepped away and now it is FT8! 73 WD8WV
@@JuddieBurgess FT8 does seem to be the most popular right now. I played with it but never fell in love. Since I enjoy emcomm more than anything else, JS8Call has had my attention for the last 6-8 months. Check it out if you haven't. Based on FT8 protocol but can carry on real QSO. Also a lot of other great features built in for emcomm. js8call.com I have a lot of vids on it as well. 73, KM4ACK
KM4ACK I will look into the js8call. I had it loaded when it was first being developed and had one or two QSO’s. My first contact, or might be my second, rejected my QSL on QRZ. Then I wasn’t seeing much activity so I removed it. I may try it again if activity has picked up. WD8WV
Very informative Jason! Makes me want to get my own Raspberry pi and get it programmed. I am looking forward to your DRAWS video. de KH6DL
Chuck Malefyt the pi’s are a lot of fun. If you decide to get one, wait for the new pi 4 to be available. Many upgrades with the new model. They should start shipping late July or early August. I already have one on pre-order. Thx for watching! 73, de KM4ACK
