Fellow Hams and Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts,

I am pleased to announce the release of HamPi 1.0 – The Raspberry Pi Ham Radio Image I've been working on for the last six months (Dec. 2019 – June 2020).

I have confirmed this image starts up successfully on the Raspberry Pi Model 4 B. Compatibility is currently being run on earlier Raspberry Pi models. A series of beta-testers have tested this and provided feedback prior to release, and I have used that feedback to make this a better image for everyone.

The primary place to download this is via BitTorrent. If you can’t, or won’t, use BitTorrent, there are a number of direct download links:

For hosting direct download sites, thank you to: Norm Schklar, WA4ZXV, William Franzin, VE4VR, David Cooley, N5XMT, and David Potter, KE8OHG.

A BIG thank you to my XYL, Michelle, for creating the HamPi Logo!

Please send me any comments or concerns via email to w3djs@arrl.net.

-Dave Slotter, W3DJS

ATTENTION: So I don’t get publicly tarred and feathered for not disclosing this openly, please be aware by running this image on your Raspberry Pi that you consent to giving your idle cpu cycles to radio telescope research, such as looking for pulsars. If you do not agree with this, do not run the image. Again, this will not interfere with your usage – this only uses cpu cycles when your Raspberry Pi is idle. Disk use is also minimal. (1/1000 or less)

(For what it’s worth, I also operate my Raspberry Pi 4 this way.)
