I've been delayed in getting the hotspot back online. I don't
|
||
|
|
DMR a whole lot these days, so its absence isn't that noticeable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also acquired a SHARI PiHat from Don/WA2SWX over the weekend.
|
||
|
|
It's a RPi hat that contains a USB codec and a small transceiver
|
||
|
|
with the appropriate filtering.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am, however, not a fan of the Pi right now. I don't believe
|
||
|
|
them about why they're still overpriced and out of stock 3 years
|
||
|
|
on. It is now a product that is securely in the hands of scalpers.
|
||
|
|
It will be years, if ever, before consumers will be able to
|
||
|
|
buy them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyway....my attempts to figure out how to make it work outside of
|
||
|
|
Pi world is confusing. In theory its simple, however it uses
|
||
|
|
a GPIO on the codec for PTT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I can probably figure it out later, but I kind of just to play with it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I did however buy a $35 Libre SBC that claims to be Pi
|
||
|
|
compatible and PiStar supposedly works on it.
