I wondered why something like the orange pi wasn’t used instead of the raspberry pi. ?Nearly the same foot print, same price, ?and more memory. ?But backwards compatibility with the sbitx and board reliability will be major factors. ?This is still after all a radio that is expected to be hacked on and tinkered with. ?I had concerns about ram but it looks like zram compression is a viable option on the zero at the expense of processor usage which we may have a bit in excess of on a zero 2 with its quad cores. ?The price point of this radio makes it perfect to hack on. So there is bound to be a lot of discussion on what you can tinker with even before it comes out! ?
