Have connected to John’s node on 446.200 in Jenkintown, PA and I’m interested in learning about this technology and possibly building a node using a Raspberry Pi and URI interface.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Long story short I am interested in building up a project box with the Raspberry Pi, URI interface and a switching setup to connect wither a microphone or the computer setup for Allstar. 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 class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">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 class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">But I suspect that I am re-inventing a few wheels here!!!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">best 73,</div><div class="">-john</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
