There is a new Pi in town...and I have questions.

I just bought one from Amazon for $36.00. It took about 3 days to arrive. I also bought the TNC-Pi from Coastal Chip Works. Setting up a Pigate. http://www.pigate.net/

 

Doug are you using a NXDN Dongle with your Pi's

 

Did the same thing. Up and running with Xastir. Haven't played with the other APRS apps yet.

 

this worked great "out of the box" for my RSP3..took about a week from China...............31.00

price seems to vary daily.................

 

I show off the exact same setup that is aboard the International Space Station at my satellite presentations (well, without the multi-thousand-dollar housing the space agencies mandated for it (grin)). A Pi 3, SENSE Hat, and camera. What an incredible device for less than $300. In reality, those three components are less than a hundred bucks from RELIABLE distributors.
