@Kirk Take a look at this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/908800/what-does-this-apt-error-message-download-is-performed-unsandboxed-as-root I'm going to try the procedure myself from scratch and...
@Joe I think we need to get an airline to agree to mount a small repeater on a few of their tranports. I realize the regularatory requirements may be insurmountable. But if this could be acomplishe...
@Robert Thats very kewl! I'm just wondering what sort of mile radius a repeater at 35k ft can cover. Like maybe 600-800 miles perhaps?
@J Did you ever get the Link I sent you in Msgs? There are two icons at the top of the screen. A Bubble and a Bell. Click on the Bubble to see messages:
I wonder what kind of range is possible with a 33k ft repeater? Any reported contacts?
@TX Programmer Looks like a Nooelec broadcast FM filter might be needed to keep powerful local stations from adding interference. https://www.amazon.com/Flamingo-FM-Broadcast-Bandstop-Applications...
Thanks! Yes, the reviews on many others (at least on Amazon) were unfavorable. But this one appears to have numeous positive reviews. Guess we'll see...

@J Sorry for the delay in my reply. :-/ You can go diectly here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/ to get an image you can install with the built-in Raspi Imager (under acces...
@Kirk It has been verified by one other to work just fine. But I don't know about what future sudo apt upgrade's might do. So instead (BACKUP FIRST), I started from scratch with a standard RasPi i...
Yeah, I've seen Zachmann's article. But it didn't appear to be very consistent; and the NanaVNA is "affordable". 🙂 I'm most interested in getting the antenna impedance closely matched to 5...
Which antenna analyzer do your people use? I'm considering the NanoVNA-H4. Thanks!
Switches are for GPS Stby and to initiate a GNSS wakeup. .I sent you a link :-)
Well, (IMHO) the one thing a base unit needs to do is establish contact reliably at greater distances. To do this without increasing power (and requiring a Ham license) it will need an "awesome ant...
The pins are repeated from the RasPi pins (same layout). The switches are for the radio. You could create a small protector by modifying a RasPi stacking header. If you printed a small rectangular ...
They do add software, antenna and a 50% larger battery. The Hackster article on the Nomad got me (no software, just some configs). It appears the price hike is closer to 80%. T-Deck Plus looks like...
I *love* this silly thing. Right now running gqrs, listening to a local FM station in stereo. Have Meshtastic open in Chromium browser, surfing the net in Firefox. Quick, snappy response. I think ...
Getting really close to a finished Unit. Smart Pi Touch Pro was on sale, and it seemed ideal for my purposes. I need to find a second nut for the HDMI on the back so I can make it closer to f...
@Tyler Hello Tyler. and Welcome! I recently purchased one as well. Expecting a "polished", out-of-the-box solution - I immediately had many similar questions... First of all, your initial ...
