DigiPi Zoom Session with Craig KM6LYW
https://meeting.w6ek.org/
On the fifth Wednesday night in April, Craig (KM6LYW) will give the club an update on the DigiPi, an operating system for the Raspberry Pi that makes amateur radio digital modes easily accessible through a web browser. Rather than carry a separate computer to operate modes such as FT8, RTTY, APRS, and WinLink, DigiPi allows you to do all that and more through your phone.

Craig will give a brief introduction to the platform and demonstrate the many useful features it provides to your digital ham radio operations. He will also go into further details, what it takes to build your own device, and how it can be interfaced to various models of amateur transceiver equipment.
