The raspberry Pi is a small form compute system that runs off a Linux Operating System. It has open-source community backing and provides very low RF Interference. ( if a quality power source is used)

4. Where? This can be run from anywhere with an internet connection
Will run from out of my house
Tested and can get good receive audio
Will test stream once approved
The location of the device is mainly dependent on where the repeater signal can be “heard”. Power considerations are flexible as the unit takes 5V with a max of 2A. This very easily can be run from battery with solar charge for a low-maintenance solution.

5. Why? Encourage new hams Remote Audio test with instant feedback
Encourage net participation
It is all about experimentation
Ease of recording
What can you think of?

6. Cost Initial Purchase ($60, but I am donating)
