Have any of you used a Chromebook to VNC to the headless Pi? It has long battery life and is capable of VNC.?
I have Android phone....screen is too small for me. I don't have a large tablet. I do have a nice Linux laptop but battery life is short compared to a Chromebook.
Thanks

I haven't used a Chromebook, but I have used a Windows Laptop that is very similar <$150 or so. The battery life is good and it usually lasts longer than I can in a single session.

Re: Build a Pi 3.0.3 Released
Just an FYI:?Jason's entire suite (full install) performs perfectly for me even on a plain Raspi3, it does not need to be the 'B+' version. I am able to even run WSJT-X and GridTrack simultaneously, which was not possible with the older GridTracker release.
CPU temp hovers near 60-C, with no apparent problems for more than 2-weeks of 24/7 operation.

Yes. It should run fine on the 3B+

Is there away to get a BC map
BC map in which program Don?
It seems where I downloaded the Off Line map for BC Aprsdroid has changed
Loaded up APRS.
Which APRS program are you using?
GPS didn't seem to track or beacon
Did the GPS have a lock on the satellites?
All I know is the GPS DIY gps I had on the roof of the car. This GPS worked in the house before I took the PI 4 out for it's road trip.

Mumble seems to suffer with noise. On a good strong signal, it¡¯s acceptable. But add typical HF noise and lots of unpleasant artifacts appear.?
I used Skype for a number of years and likely still would. That is the quality level to strive for.?

I got my Pi 4 out in the mobile today. Is there away to get a BC map. I see I had check download new map. I'm going to remove that.?
The Pat Menu started up. I started Bluetooth. Loaded up APRS. The GPS didn't seem to track or beacon. I have logged into hotspot. My icon aka wheelchair has not moved. I have to find FAQ or something on that program to follow my tracks, and have the map show a full map not a 1/2 with white and the other side as a map?
Later

Setting up duplex audio is the big stumbling block without using skype or some other 2nd party software. Mumble does not work well either. RigPi is a convoluted mess with it's audio. HTML 5 can do it but software very complex. Whoever solves IP duplex audio with open source software will be a real hero.
