Terry,
I hope this doesn’t add more confusion than opportunity, but I would highly recommend you start with about 3 or 4 micro-sd cards, 16g or larger, and try several versions of this. The absolute flexibility of the pi, is you can try an image out for a few hours or days, then swap the card out for something completely different, and expand your adventures all over again. Over and over. Here’s just one of the many things you may want to explore. If you burn this image, you get several dozens of ham radio applications all at once for you to give a test drive with. Ham Pi Image and there are others just like this HamPi download | SourceForge.net <https://sourceforge.net/projects/hampi/> Home · dslotter/HamPi Wiki · GitHub <https://github.com/dslotter/HamPi/wiki> After you find some applications you really like, you may choose to load a different image and only install the ones you care about. But it’s not at all necessary. Or, if you get like me, you end up with a dozen different pi’s running different apps, and reload them at will when your ready to try out that next really neat operating environment you just read about. 😊 The bottom line, it’s very cheap fun, most entertaining, and an endless number of possibilities to peak your interests. No doubt you will quickly discover many ways to consume several hours every night of the week. 😊 All the best, Walter/K5WH From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> On Behalf Of Terry Leatherland via BVARC Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2023 5:04 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Terry Leatherland <k5...@yahoo.com>; Mike Knerr <mike5586m...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [BVARC] Raspberry Pi Digipeater - anyone with experience? Funny. I was the one asking for joint brains to figure out how to do things. I certainly can’t give a class since I am at pi ground zero. I have a pi4 and loaded it with pi Linux. And monitor . Next is sound, and then ham softwares , and then wires and cables to connect to radios. That’s why this is a hobby. 😀 We can discuss tomorrow nite at the Bvarc meeting. 73 Sent from my iPhone On Jul 11, 2023, at 3:58 PM, Mike Knerr via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org <mailto:bvarc@bvarc.org> > wrote: We should have some room available at bayland park.

I also have several RPi that may or may not still work. at least one will be a HF CW repeater in the future.
