These boards are so cheap and draw such little energy it pays to just setup another board. If you have another Pi3 try loading Ubuntu mate on it. Free download on the Internet. With an HDMI monitor and a keyboard/mouse it makes a great system.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:large">Talk to you on the air and get a hold of me direct if you need assistance.<br><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><b><font size="4">73 Doug<br></font></b></div><b><font size="4">WA3DSP<br></font></b></div><b><font size="4"><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio" target="_blank">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</a><br></font></b></div></div></div>

Just a nice convenient package. Maybe also hook it to a low-power FM transmitter to be able to monitor the ham bands from anywhere in the home.</div><div><br></div><div>The idea that hit me is probably really obvious: If you have the interface the the Raspberry Pi already hooked up, would it be possible to extend the functionality to become more of a general-purpose packet TNC? Perhaps even add Amtor, Slow-scan TV, Weather satellites, RTTY, CW… and do it all way cheaper than commercial TNCs. Do it all in the Raspberry Pi…</div><div><br></div><div>But I suspect that I am re-inventing a few wheels here!!!</div><div><br></div><div>best 73,</div><div>-john</div><div><br></div><div>
