Linux

Linux is the operating system used on the Raspberry Pi and because of that, I have learned about it.  When I started working (playing?) with the Pi, I needed to learn about its flavor of Linux, Raspberry Pi OS.  First, I used it for electronics projects but then I started using it for ham radio projects.

That got me looking for how to get and use the software available on the Pi for ham radio.  I found Build-a-Pi from KM4ACK through his YouTube videos.  He has migrated to using Linux on a laptop rather than a Pi as it is easier to carry around a laptop than a Pi and keyboard/mouse/monitor/etc.

I use 73Linux, formerly Build-a-Pi, on a Linux laptop or Raspberry Pi, and taught several classes for my ham club on PAT (Winlink), and YAAC (APRS), and other topics, both ham radio and electronics related.  I have PAT and YAAC on a laptop running Mint Cinnamon or Raspberry Pi and connected to my IC-7100.  73Linux / Build-a-Pi is the swiss army knife of ham apps for a portable station and provides a lot more than PAT and YAAC such as WSJT-X and JS8CALL
