Digi-Pi 

What I did this summer ...

Ham radio without talking.

The above screen is what it is all about. 

• The upper yellow window shows conversations I have been in.
• The lower yellow window shows all conversations
• The white window shows the stations I have heard since restarting fldigi and their signal strength
• The dark blue window is the ongoing "smart" heard list that persists after restarts
• The light blue window is my input area.  Messages are typed here
  
• The speckled blue window is a waterfall display.
  
• And then there are lots of configuration buttons all over.

Suzanne did the soldering to build the digi-link and assembled it with the Pi.

The connections are:

• HDMI
• Power
• Radio control
• Keyboard mouse dongle
• Network is wifi

A Live Demo

• If there is interest, I can do another presentation and perhaps arrange a live demo OR
• We can set a time to meet at my place and do a demo there.
• If you are interested I can arrange to source some digi-links for you.  Then we might be able to get Suzanne to help build them.  Of course you need to have a ham license and a radio to use it.
