Eric,
Welcome aboard! I am also a ham. I don’t know much about SDR radios, but my
initial concern would be the user interface. Chances are that most of it would
be graphical which would probably shut us out. If we could get at the radio
controls from the console then we might stand a chance.
Let us know what you find out.
Chris, W1GM

Hello everyone,
Brand new RaspberryPi owner here (acquired my kit from Fry’s Electronics this
last month). The Pi is a Model 3b and I just acquired the last bit today in
order to make it a complete running unit.
Btw, My name is Eric and I am a totally blind Linux/Windows/OS X user for
more than 2 decades. I also happen to be one of the original founders of the
Phoenix Linux Users Group (and as far as I know, only 1 of 2 blind
individuals in the phoenix area even involved with linux let alone a
RaspberryPi).
Anyway, I hope to read some tips/tricks and a few other goodies for getting
up and running using a VI enabled Raspian image.
Btw, what I am going to use my unit for is SDR using USB Dongles to create a
radio receiver (basically 100 Khz to 5 Ghz inclusive). SO, if there are any
Pi owners on here who are also hams, I would certainly appreciate the help.
Thanks
