John-

Been there done that with RigPi. This thing is a “glitter turd”. RigPi gives 
you variable remote control of VFO. Period. All other radio control is via 
on/off buttons. Want to change your bandpass, IF shift, RF gain, etc? Nope. 
Only on/off buttons that you have to program via hamlib commands. Then there is 
the all the issues setting up Mumble for audio transport. I had two beta 
testers contact me privately admitting that RigPi was released too soon. MFJ 
claims “Easy as 1-2-3.” -  1. Turn on 2. Config 3. Goto 1.
I sold mine for a $75 loss and told the buyer what to expect. His problem now. 
If you could get Mumble or a similar program to work for audio transport, you 
would be $300 ahead to setup Rpi with VNC and install Flrig (which has variable 
controls) and any other software you want to use. RigPi tells you to use VNC 
for digital modes anyway - so why buy it?
