My last note with 'GA' was sent via VHF radio using #hamstr on a steam deck running win 11.

Ultimate portability. Small handheld VHF radio, USB cable, small Digirig USB audio device and a steam deck.

Steam deck Linux test soon.

Works great on raspberry pi 4 already. Likely a pi zero 2 as well.

Nothing else required to connect.

How long does it take to load a feed with that thing?

On VHF, it typically uses a 1200 baud data rate.

I did a request with 8 of my following feed notes. It took about 1min 51seconds. Say 2 mins.

On HF radio, it's 1/4 of that speed. But the range is global.

jeeeeezus stop I can only get so excited

Hi, I’m trying to replicate this setup. What cable did you use between the HT radio and the Digirig (not the usb-c cable). Did you make this cable yourself?
