No GUI, no maps, no mechanism to send messages/responses, etc. As for Direwolf on the Rpi3.. the Rpi3 doesn't have a micrphone jack so you'll still need another sound device. The $7 Syba USB devices are considered well supported. Ps. The new Direwolf 1.4 has added it's own AX.25 v2.2 (not just v2.1) stack. When used with the AGW interface, it's a complete solution and you no longer need Ldsped! --David KI6ZHD On 06/27/2017 04:04 PM, Lee Bengston wrote: > APRX works well as an igate and/or digipeater, and it's very small thus > putting a very light load on the Pi.
