Hello Mike,
You've already received some great details and hints on how to get
started.? One thing that you need to pay attention to is that adding
more iGates can actually hurt the network but that's more common
when setting up high level APRS digis and Igates say on a nearby
mountain, etc.? Anyway, if you're looking for more of a holistic
Raspberry Pi setup guide to get everything fully built up, you might
want to check out my guide:
??
This doc should compliment the APRS specific docs that WB2OSZ (the
author of Direwolf) shared.? Beyond that, there are many MANY other
good guides out there on the Internet so search around and see
what's available to you.

Hello group!
I live in Vegas and am realizing that the iGate network here is
severely lacking. With your help I want to set up a Rx/Tx iGate
using Raspberry Pi. I just ordered my Pi 4 starter kit and am
waiting to send out an email about radio's to the local club until
I get a better idea on how I can interface the Tx portion to my Pi
4. The unit I ordered does come with a 4 pole stereo audio input
so I am guessing I will not need a sound card hat, I think?
There are so many posts here and I am new to Groups.io I was
wondering if y'all could help point me in the right direction. My
goal is to run a single band antenna off of the roof of my two
story house and leave my radio and Pi running in the crawl space.
I already have power up there and have some idea's on where to run
the coax.?
Any knowledge you would like to impart would be great! Power
suggestions, radio suggestions, ways to get the radio to interface
with Pi, anything you can think of would be helpful.?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
