I'm personally fascinated by your results. As far as I know there is no way to search this mailing list to filter for topics like this? Happy to be pointed to instructions.
Are there resources for learning how to integrate boards like the RPi with radios like my Baofeng? Or is this knowledge mostly around the Direwolf community? thx, sam452 > On Apr 3, 2019, at 11:16 PM, Dan Clemmensen <[email protected]> wrote: > > I ran CHIRP successfully on a Raspberry Pi Zero W (Pi0W) as an experiment to > see if I could eliminate the need for a USB-to-Serial cable.
