I have al last sorted it but with the RP4, and it's now up and running with the correct screen size. So, thank you for all your input wit this great project.
Thank you for your detailed description of the installation! It helped me a great deal. For quite some time I considered the radioberry hat I received from China as non functional. The message in the end was "no device found". But it was only due to my choosing the wrong os or other software parts and for the wrong installion procedure.
Thanks, all fine, receiver/screen is working, only one problem. No reception, when i press the little chip on the TX/RX board the reception will come some times. Need a new TX/RX board i guess
Great, showing the rx install. Like to see your tx install still have to do a proper install on mine, mount it in a case. The install script can be edited before running but your way works thats what counts. There more ways to Rome. My radioberry is getting very hot and have to run a fan on it. Its running as rx on a receive loop for now
I started with a fan like you do but then I stacked small heat sinks for Raspberry that I had extra and now I don't need the fan. I still will include one once I install everything in a box.
Thank you for your detailed video instructions. I followed them verbatim on my pi 4B with 4MB, installing the (correction here) 64bit Raspberry Pi Bullseye OS, pi user, etc... Everything compiled and ran with no issues. The touchscreen is quite nice and pihpsdr is beautiful. I'm just getting back into amateur radio and didn't even have an antenna for listening, so I bought the cheapest walkie-talkie looking thing with an sma connection but that only pulled in noise across all bands. Once I upgraded the antenna to an MLA 30+ everything started coming in great. I'm listening all the way from broadcast AM to the 10 meter band. You mentioned the CW portion was next, am I correct to think that's where MIDI comes in? As far as a pi 5 is concerned, I can only say that a 4B is more than enough power for this radio project, typically running under a load of less than .4 out of 4.0. Storage is a weakness of the 4B, for sure, but can be addressed with USB. I'm running mine on an sdcard, but may change that. I also use the excellent SDRConsole on my Windows machine to access the radioberry over the network. I have CW Skimmer up and running too, since my code skills are real rusty. This is a great setup and I'm really enjoying the project. Thanks again and, of course, I'm also eagerly anticipating any updates regarding the transmit and code portions of this... 73 -Keith
great video, easy to follow and great explanation. I have 1 question: (1) are you working on the raspberry pi TX video? I was looking through your posted videos and could not find one
Great project. Really impressive noise floor ! -130dB Did I see that right ? What would it take to increase the frequency coverage, at least on receive ? A mixer on the input to downmix signals ?
Hi, I have the raspberry pi 5, I have tried both script chip settings but still no devices found, is there any info on using a rpi 5 with the radioberry?
Everything is looks easy but couldn't find exact same OS and got stuck right after cd/tmp command execution. "No such file or directory found". The end. Also where did get code for display to change in config.txt file?
I got the error: Radioberry gateware Cyclone 10 CL016 installed. Installing Radioberry driver... modprobe: FATAL: Module radioberry not found. and then it stops with the lines make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:250: /tmp/Radioberry-2.x/SBC/rpi-4/device_driver/driver/radioberry.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [Makefile:2012: /tmp/Radioberry-2.x/SBC/rpi-4/device_driver/driver] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.21-v8+' make: *** [Makefile:17: radioberry] Error 2 Radioberry driver installation failed.

This is late lol but I’m sure 4gb is more than enough. 8GB really only good when dealing with programs that use large memory loads (which are usually just programs that use graphics or audio buffers). Like CAD, or DAWs.
Better later than never 😉@@NahImPro in the mean time I have everything working great. I still have two items I couldn't find on the documentation. Which pin do I use for a cw paddle and which pin is the T/R output, is it GPIO14?
Near the end of the pihpsdr installation I get an error "NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY" and you guessed it pihpsdr isn't installed this is also happening to a few other HAM's anyone got any ideas on the problem ? 73
Has anyone tried running a different distro like PiSDR or DragonOS since they are geared for radio related usage with packages/software, some of which are amateur radio related?
Very nice video, can you be so kind as to add command lines or link for resize Pihpsdr to fit the monitor for full screen , I use the 10.1 touch screen,. I know you displayed it in video, but I was not able to read it clearly, my setup is using rassberry pi 4 b 8 gb, and the Hermes lite 2, I've also try to install this on rassberry pi 5 4gb running Debian 12 bookworm 64, but will not install correctly or will not start, not sure if I need to try pi os bullseye 64, or there is something with pi 5 hardware, but for now works great using Ham Pi latest version 3,3 and latest g0orx/PiHpSdr, to make it even better, Overclocked rassberry Pi 4 To arm 2000 , gpu 700 ,. Added simple geek pi cooler, ok that's all I can add for now , please send link or add it to video links to resize Pihpsdr to fit screen at the higher resolution, thank you 😊
You are investing in quit a bit of money and Labor for something that is moderately good. 1000$ and 100 hours? Buy of the shelf for 1400$ and you get a Mobil transceiver for HF, VHF, UHF. Life is too short for this crap
Waiting for second part
Meetoo 😂
waiting for the next video ! Great job man ! Cheers form Sweden

Thanks a lot for the step by step ! Looking forward the Tx part :)
did you ever get the rest of the project working? looking forward on how to turn it into a tranceiver

we have done this on armbian and other boards it works fine without name pi
This looks like a great project. How is it going as far as transmitting?
Would it be better to have a faster processor like in the RPi5?
Is there an update? This is a very cool project
great video, easy to follow and great explanation. I have 1 question: (1) are you working on the raspberry pi TX video? I was looking through your posted videos and could not find one
A comprehensive well done into. Thank you
Great project.
Really impressive noise floor ! -130dB Did I see that right ?
What would it take to increase the frequency coverage, at least on receive ? A mixer on the input to downmix signals ?
we need a second part! 😀
does it only work on raspberry 4b?
Amazing tutorial!! How reliable is the hardware and software, any crashes when jumping in between bands? Thanks.
I have a pi zero collecting dust that had originally been purposed for DMR, how soon will we see the TX video part you mentioned doing?
hi would a Raspberry Pi 3b+ work for this as i all ready have one thanks and great video
Hi, I have the raspberry pi 5, I have tried both script chip settings but still no devices found, is there any info on using a rpi 5 with the radioberry?
Check back on their GitHub project. I believe I saw there’s a specific branch of the repo that is (at least an attempt to) get it running on the RPi5.
did you find a solution for filter switch between them with RP2040?
Is it possible to use x86 (but raspi size) board like UP 4000? It looks more powerful, fast and easy to use with windows or any linux than raspi.
Good job dude.
Everything is looks easy but couldn't find exact same OS and got stuck right after cd/tmp command execution. "No such file or directory found". The end. Also where did get code for display to change in config.txt file?
Figured out cd /tmp was just my bad eyes. The OS problem still exist.
Hi is there any way to boot straight into Pihpsdr when Raspberry OS starts?
I did not see the code in the description of the video thanks
I got the error:

Well done video, Are!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great video. Can't wait to see the TX part. I am expecting my board tomorrow. How much memory is needed on the RPi, 2,4, or 8GB?
This is late lol but I’m sure 4gb is more than enough. 8GB really only good when dealing with programs that use large memory loads (which are usually just programs that use graphics or audio buffers). Like CAD, or DAWs.

Hello my friend, greetings from Brazil. I don't understand what's the TX potency (in W) of this setup. Could you help me please. Thank you.
i think 2mw
Thanks for this video, I have been wanting to do this for a long time. Do I have to use the RPI 4B 8gb, I have a 2gb version.
Hi, did you make TX done?
Near the end of the pihpsdr installation I get an error "NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY" and you guessed it pihpsdr isn't installed this is also happening to a few other HAM's anyone got any ideas on the problem ?

Got RadioBerry Today and all is working fine but bands are crap today :(
Very nice video, can you be so kind as to add command lines or link for resize Pihpsdr to fit the monitor for full screen , I use the 10.1 touch screen,. I know you displayed it in video, but I was not able to read it clearly, my setup is using rassberry pi 4 b 8 gb, and the Hermes lite 2, I've also try to install this on rassberry pi 5 4gb running Debian 12 bookworm 64, but will not install correctly or will not start, not sure if I need to try pi os bullseye 64, or there is something with pi 5 hardware, but for now works great using Ham Pi latest version 3,3 and latest g0orx/PiHpSdr, to make it even better, Overclocked rassberry Pi 4
To arm 2000 , gpu 700 ,. Added simple geek pi cooler, ok that's all I can add for now , please send link or add it to video links to resize Pihpsdr to fit screen at the higher resolution, thank you 😊
Be sure to do an apt update and an apt upgrade then reboot before you do any install, or you won't succeed in installing RadioBerry and Pihpsdr.
don't forget to open and add with the command sudo nano /etc/modules and add in the modules file below i2c-dev
radioberry 73 to all
Good work...
Add in your next video : RPI Config : check SSH, VNC, I2C and uncheck SPI!

Thanks, will do!
Is an HF radio the same as shortwave?
Embarrassing comment... 😅
@@14KiloWhisky How so?
@@russc788 this kind of equipment is not for noob, make quick search about HF band and you'll find answer to your question 😁
HF = high frequency 3 Mhz to 30 Mhz

I installed it step by step and it doesn't work, what should I do?
*promo sm*
the promotions are disgusting and disturbing stop them !!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop stop stop because the TH-cam will die nearly !!!!!!!

That's not at all the spirit of amateur radio. It was way better before people like you came along.
