Hey Mark -
Happy to report version 1.0.0 installed and compiled fine on my Raspberry Pi 3B+.
Total build time for the default packages install was 4-hours and 48-minutes.
For the Pi3B+, it was necessary to temporarily increase the swap file to 2048M for a successful build of? fldigi.? All other apps built fine on a tenmporary swap file of 1024M.
After the builds, I reverted back to a 250M swap file, where everything runs fine.
Congrats on your version 1.0.0 effort.? Looking forward to the next release.

Hey RaspberryPi 4 Ham Radio Group,
So I have been working on a project for some time now and I finally feel that it's ready for some other folks to take a look at it and test it out. If you're into using raspberry pi computers for ham radio I have created a repository of scripts/playbooks to setup, compile and maintain/update radio tools on the pi. I finally released a version 1.0.0 at There is some basic documentation in the README file stars and issues appreciated if you find anything. I have been testing on the latest raspberry pi OS and often use VNC to power my pis connected to radios in the shack. This isn't focused on portable operating out of the box but I do have scripts for setting up things like GPS time sync and real time clock modules. You may ask why you would use this over build a pi or other tools. The primary reason I created these was because Ansible(configuration management tool I'm using) is better at maintaining state than bash scripts and preventing redundant work during setup or updates. Thanks for any feedback and I hope someone finds it useful!
73,
