My usecase is to install the Pi inside my KX3 GoBox. There isn't much space and heat build up is a problem with my Pi4. The two fans on the front are pretty noisy so I would prefer not to need them running flat out all the time I to use the Pi :-)

It's the low power consumption of the Pi-zero that attracted me - which is why I will persevere.

If I could get FLdigi running, that together with JS8Call and a logging program would make it a viable install.
As I couldn't get HAMMRS to install I'm going to try a couple of other logging programs -- but logging is not a deal breaker as HAMMRS is working fine on my tablet.

I use JS8Call quite a lot -- but I'm definitely in the minority with that!

If Pi zero won't play, I'll try Banana pi -- but they are not available here in europe yet so I'll have to wait.

I haven't tried installing HAMRS on the zero. FLDIGI will be a real challenge to compile due to the limited RAM on the zero. BAP increases the swap memory on the Pi 3 so it can be built there but I don't think BAP will work for the zero. You might try installing from the package manager. This will give you an older version but it should work.

sudo apt install fldigi
