While you probably CAN get PAT to work on the Raspberry Pi, I generally prefer to use my own external Windows-based laptop.? ?At the moment, we have to connect using an external soundcard & interface into the sBitx.? ? I would expect there is some way to have the soundcard capabilities of the Raspberry pi become?available via USB cable to an external computer.? ? I'm not bright enough to know how to do that, but I think it would be useful for other programs, which include the newer ION2G ALE software.? ?I don't think you are going to be able to force everyone to create software to run on your favorite Raspberry pi; some software is always going to require a windows base.? ? It would be useful to provide the equivalent of a soundcard interface......like other radios often do these days..
