Re: [Elecraft] OT K3/KX3 and Raspberry Pi (James Bennett)
Jim, Less than a year ago (Sprint 2014) QST published a great article (was the cover photo) using a pi and a KX3 panaadpter by Martin Ewing AA6E.Until my PX3 arrived I used a Pi as my KX3 panaadpter. There a newsgroup at the tinypythonpanadapter-discuss...@lists.sourceforge.net mailto:tinypythonpanadapter-discuss...@lists.sourceforge.net . I made some minor code changes and have since got it to work with a BeagleBone. 73s Ron AF1Q __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

You can use the raspberrypi as a nice little panadapter for the KX3, Some reading here http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/blog/M0JMO-Tiny_Python_Panadapter-Raspberry_Pi_Setup_Guide-v1_2.pdf http://www.aa6e.net/wiki/Tiny_Python_Panadapter#Important:_For_all_Pi_Users_--_Fixing_the_.22Freeze.22_problem Cheers Paul GI4FZD __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] OT K3/KX3 and Raspberry Pi (Irwin Darack)
I built one of those, and it was an interesting learning experience. But its performance doesn't come close to the PX3, which I later acquired. Panadapters tend to be an addictive operating tool. Once I started using the K3-P3 combo I found that operating any rig without one was like flying blind. And having used my P3, the PX3 for my KX3 was hard to resist. But doing the TPP for use with the KX3 was a fun project with just enough frustration to make it interesting :-) The guide done by Josh, M0JMO in the first link below -- and some helpful emails from Josh -- were invaluable to me. Using his parameters I never ran into the freeze problem mentioned in the second link. 73, Phil W7OX On 12/31/14 1:59 AM, Paul20 wrote: You can use the raspberrypi as a nice little panadapter for the KX3, Some reading here http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/blog/M0JMO-Tiny_Python_Panadapter-Raspberry_Pi_Setup_Guide-v1_2.pdf http://www.aa6e.net/wiki/Tiny_Python_Panadapter#Important:_For_all_Pi_Users_--_Fixing_the_.22Freeze.22_problem Cheers Paul GI4FZD __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

I overclocked mine some time ago with no ill effects. For daily use I would suggest an external hard drive as the SD sticks have a limited lifetime if used as a regular file system. If you're running Raspbian and choose to use Hamlib, it would probably be better to build Hamlib from source using one of the daily snapshots than the version provided by Raspbian as many fixes for the K3 have been applied since then: http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net If you need assistance compiling Hamlib, feel free to email me privately. In my opinion, the Pi is almost too limited to be a daily desktop computer. It is attractive for its size and price and offers a system capable of running a full Linux based system. Other devices such as the Beagle Bone Black (I don't have one) may be a better choice for a desktop. For a dedicated device running a few tasks the Pi is a good choice. 73, Nate -- The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true.

Re: [Elecraft] OT K3/KX3 and Raspberry Pi
I built the panadapter from QST with the BBB and it worked great ( while waiting for PX3). I ported code to Pi, but still working on one bug ( missing file in kernel). -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/OT-K3-KX3-and-Raspberry-Pi-tp7596547p7596564.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

There is a small group of us who have our Rasberry Pi's hooked into a Dvap for D-Star.

Re: [Elecraft] OT K3/KX3 and Raspberry Pi
I'm currently working on a RPi project to implement a 2 meter packet station and BBS for the local club. Coastal Chipworks markets a nifty TNC kit that plugs into the RPi. Software is all public domain and there is a comprehensive AX.25 library. Unrelated to Elecraft except that it's sitting in the shelf above my K3. 73, Brian, K0DTJ On Dec 29, 2014, at 21:19, James Bennett w6...@me.com wrote: Just wondering if any folks on this reflector have been using the Raspberry Pi (RPI) computer with their rigs or any other ham-related stuff?
