Correct on the RPi2. I did just that with FLDigi on Raspian. Works great and gives me a low power, low cost Digital transcoder for more than just PSK31, RTTY, and CW. The only issue I wrote about in this chain previously is the need for a screen and a keyboard. I did that with a Bluetooth keyboard attached to an iPad which used VNC to the RPi2. Talk about using a sledgehammer to hang a picture hook. Of course, I had all these components already and wanted to reuse them. So, the cost was sunk for other purposes, not for a portable digital station. While this setup worked, it was a lot of stuff to carry.
The epiphany that surfaced from the Elecraft reflector participants in this conversation was that a low cost, small laptop would provide all the logging, digital transcoding needs for a portable HF station predicated on the KX3. Often, you can find smaller laptops, refurbished, for less than $200. regards, Brian VE3IBW On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 10:00 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > AFAIK based on reading the SideKar site it's just reporting what the Kline > radio is giving it already decoded. $250 is a bit much when you think about > what the box does.
