I'm wondering, how would you use a microphone with it? Run it through the RPi4 via either a GPIO or USB microphobe with PTT? Looks from at least the Amazon description that its for the RPi4.
I am using it like in the TechMinds video in the first post. The board has to be connected to a raspberry pi. I have a pi4. Once you install the software and reboot the pi, think of it as a radio "Server" you can connect to with a PC running SDR console. I installed the SDR program on the PI but have not got this to work yet. I have only done listening but SDR console supports TX it would use the microphone selected on your PC. This board as it is puts out very little power you need a pre-amp board to be able to drive a larger amplifier.
Thanks for that. 100mW is more than sufficient drive for some of my transverters. I may do this as an experiment.
I was able to get pihpsdr to run on the RP4 that is connected to the Radioberry. Seems the issue was I needed to select "No Controller" on the pull down before starting once the board was detected.
In reading the two reviews on Amazon.com for this board, it looks like the assembly house doesn't do a great job with regards to soldering. This is the same assembly house that made my NanoVNA SAA2N that failed after a few uses. This company is listed on the "unauthorized" list for the NanoVNA 2 products. https://nanorfe.com/nanovna-v2.html Unless you're comfortable doing your own SMT work, I'd advise caution.
that's my question too. The only place I've been able to find them here in the US is on Amazon.... shipped from Chna. Since I don't do business with Amazon, and really don't care to deal with a Chinese vendor, it would be good to find a dealer for them here in the US. They ARE in stock at two UK companies.... but that's not my first choice either. SO.... until somebody in the US (with a good reputation) has them in stock, I don't guess I'll be buying one.
