| ====== GNU/Linux Ham Radio Setups ====== | |
| I'm wondering what / if / how any of you are using GNU/Linux for ham radio. Here's a quick list of pages I found promising: | |
| * https://hamwaves.com/linux.ham/en/index.html | |
| * https://sourceforge.net/projects/kb1oiq-andysham/ | |
| * https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-hams-updates/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+index?batch=75 | |
| |
| If any of you are already using GNU/Linux to run ham radio programs, please feel free to edit this page to share your experience, tips, etc. If this page grows enough, we can move it to the [[/howto |How To]] section. | |

| Today on the Rainbow Country Net, someone mentioned [[http://hampi.radiowaves.ca/ |HamPi]], a Raspberry Pi image that comes preloaded with tones of Ham software. Here's the list (copied from their {{http://hampi.radiowaves.ca/README.docx |README.docx}} file: | |
