Have fun with it Jim ! I have wanted one really bad, but I
bought a Beaglebone, so I can’t really justify a Raspberry Pi.

Well, I did it.
Took the plunge and ordered one of those little Raspberry Pi credit card sized

Raspberry Pi
Well, I did it. Took the plunge and ordered one of those little Raspberry Pi credit card sized Linux computer boards. I've wanted a good reason to learn Linux but I didn't want to set up a dual boot partition on my main Windows computer or the laptop so this little board will fill the bill nicely. It even has HDMI video out and I ordered an HDMI to VGA adapter so I can hook it to a decent extra flat screen monitor I happen to have laying around here. I've heard that quite a few of the ham radio apps that have been compiled for Linux will run on it, and FLDIGI for certain, so it looks to become a really nice field companion for my Elecraft KX3.
If anyone on here has one of these, I'd appreciate any help available to get started with it. I should receive it probably early next week. These things are so popular that most places can't seem to be able to keep 'em in stock but I lucked out and found that MCM Electronics had some left. I've dealt with them before and always had good luck with their customer service so I ordered the board from them. The rest of the stuff I'm getting from www.adafruit.com who was out of the computers but had the accessories I wanted in stock. I'll probably order one of the add on "real world" controller/breadboard cards to enable all sorts of neat external device control possibilities.

Re: QRP Gear Temptations

I have the Ten Tec VI, Gary, and LOVE it...that receiver is SO easy to listen to! 72, Jim Rodenkirch K9JWV To: 4sqrp@... From: gary.w5rej@... Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:56:49 +0000 Subject: [4sqrp] QRP Gear Temptations
Greetings gang,
The title is not my own doing. It is a subject in new member Mike/AD5A's blog at ad5aradio.blogspot.com. The entire blog is great reading but that particular article struck a chord with me. I was looking on a shelf in my office and did a quick inventory: 1. An original DSW-20 from SWL. 2. A two band K1 for 40 and 20 3. A Ten Tec Scout turned down to 15 watts to satisfy my QRO urge. 4. An Argonaut V 5. A yet to be built Pig Rig. 6. A yet to be built Fire Fly transceiver for 30m 7. A yet to be built Softrock Ensemble RX II. 8. A yet to be built Softrock RxTx II. 9. A yet to be built Softrock RxTX v6.2 for 20 and 30m. Like Mike I am wondering just how many QRP rigs to I really need? And then I see the ads for the KX3 and the Argonaut VI. (drooling) Does this ever end? (After 45+ years at this I am afraid I know the answer!) Gary/W5REJ

Re: LC meter E-bay power source

Aside from using a usb cable and 5V source, I was wondering if this would work with a couple of AA batteries.
