Raspberry Pi Applications in Ham Radio
Find projects and resources for integrating Raspberry Pi devices into various amateur radio setups and experiments.
The Raspberry Pi has become a popular small computer for many ham radio projects, offering a low-cost and flexible platform for various station enhancements and standalone devices. Operators use these compact boards for everything from basic utility tasks to complex digital signal processing, often integrating them with existing transceivers or homebrew equipment.
Hams frequently build WSPR beacons and transmitters using the Raspberry Pi, allowing for weak signal propagation reporting on HF and VHF bands. Other common applications include repeater controllers, often running software like SVXLink or Open Repeater, and APRS iGates for tracking stations or monitoring the ISS. Projects like the Radioberry hat turn the Pi into a full amateur radio, while others use it for TNC functions with devices like TNC-Pi, or even for decoding signals from an RTL-SDR for tools like QrssPiG.
