- Facilitate Common Digital Modes used for Emergency Communications
- Highly portable
- Minimal, DC power
- Parts as readily obtainable as possible
- Reliable (physically and software-wise)
This project is not prescriptive - anything can be substituted out based on your needs and budget. Purchasing of hardware components can be delayed or omitted as well and the Pi can still be useful in some capacity. You also may already own some of these things already - such as a TNC like the DigiRig.
Please direct any suggestions to an Issue on this GitHub repository. I also welcome any pull requests that seek to add or improve this project.
- WinLink
- APRS
- File Server (to host documents and software for a group)
- Web Server
- GPS integration
- Meshtastic Node & Server
- FCC licensed amateur radio operator
- Radio appropriate for your license and needs
- Power supply for your radio
- Radio must be capable of connecting to a TNC (audio input/output)
- The ability to solder header pins/sockets and possibly a uFL connector
This setup does include Meshtastic, which does not require a license, but should only be treated as a secondary (or tertiary) mode of communication. The technology is too new and network conditions can be unpredictable. That said, it is useful to relay information to non-hams from primary modes.
