Hi.? I am new to the group.
?
I am interested in putting WSJT-X on an RaspberryPi4 that I
have sitting around.? I would like to use it for portable
operation with a QRPLabs QMX+.? (Lovely little rig, btw).
?
Rig has internal sound card and works great with my old Win10
PC, but this thing is really built for portable operations, so I
want to have something light.
I expect to have a small display, just big enough to run
WSJT-X, and a miniature keyboard and mouse.
My current focus is on keeping the power usage down, but
having enough horsepower to run the decoding process promptly.?
RPi4 seems to fit the bill.
?
If there is a distro that is minimalistic, that would
probably be best.? I expect that different distros will have
bloatware that is not needed.? I would like easy control of what
gets run.? I would also like to be able to add some sort of
logger that I could backup ADI files to a USB drive when I am
done with a session for safe keeping.? I can pick up the wsjt-x
log for FT8 contacts, but this rig also does CW and in the near
future SSB, so if there is a simple linux based logger, that
would a nice feature.? I would expect to underclock the pi if I
use it for logging without wsjt-x running.
?
Suggestions?
