SDR – What is it and Why? The three letters = Software Defined Radio. What can you do with it? The sky is pretty much the limit. Think of SDR as hardware capable of being programmed as a radio utilizing software instead of electronics although the SDR hardware has electronics that give you the capabilities to use[…]
Below are the instructions which are really no different than the original instructions: 1.) Download the script here into your home directory logged in as “pi”: 2.) Run the following command to make the script executable: sudo chmod +x pi3-fldigi-setup-4.0.10.sh 3.) Now execute the script: sudo ./pi3-fldigi-setup-4.0.10.sh – This will create a folder named “HamPi-FLDIGI” in[…]
By Request – Easy Install Script for FLDIGI add-ons FLAMP (2.2.03) and FLMSG (4.0.2) on the Raspberry Pi. After popular demand for my easy install script for FLDIGI, I have finally worked out the ability to install FLAMP and FLMSG on the Raspberry Pi. This script has been tested and verified. It will download, build[…]
It is again updated….. Install Script for FLDIGI that includes compiled RigControl HamLibs using version FLDIGI 3.23.13 – BONUS: Verified and tested on Raspberry Pi 3. It is finally here! After repeated requests to enhance my first installation script used to install FLDIGI on a Raspberry Pi, I have sat down and focused on updating[…]
One of my personal quests is to learn a bit about software development. This project started as a personal quest to start with something I enjoy, which is Amateur Radio and Micro Compute platforms as well as hardware integration… I posted this below on the PiRLP Yahoo Group I am a member of……. I[…]
WSPR has been something that has interested me for quite some time. Unfortunately, my work / life balance became less than balanced for a bit (it happens – I really love what I do), so I have decided to kick off my new year and dive into getting one of my projects actually completed. I[…]
Just a quick note that my 443.625+ machine is operating at reduced power. It appears to be a potential PA issue. Going to dig into it this weekend and hopefully find the root cause and repair if possible. Nothing like being even more handicapped with reduced power and height limitation on the antenna. Not a good[…]
Recently I was introduced to Global Tuners which is a site where several radio enthusiasts have setup receivers all over the world for public and online use. I know this has been around for a little while, but had limited hardware support early on from what I remember. Now with the world of SDR and[…]
I have been waiting in anticipation all weekend to catch a chance to receive some radio signals from the international Space Station in order to decode pictures the Russian cosmonauts are sending via SSTV (Slow Scan Television) Mode PD180 to commemorate 80th anniversary of the birth of first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Although they were delayed in getting[…]
Finally! It is here at last….. Install Script for FLDIGI that includes compiled RigControl HamLibs I know I promised back in last July (2014) at the Indianapolis Ham Fest that I would post some more on my FLDIGI Raspberry Pi project I demonstrated to everyone with Bill – NF9K. Well, things have been crazy busy[…]
