Re: suggestions for ssd install
have you looked at ham-pi? it's all in one? current version is 1.5, but he is working on a new version (2.0) that will be based on the latest PiOS Bullseye.

I just picked up a Kingston 240gb ssd and I'd like to make it my primary default drive. Any comments on which OS I should use?
I have narrowed it down to a few:
- Raspberry PI OS 32 bullseye
- Raspberry PI OS 64 bullseye
- Manjaro ( or maybe POP OS)
My thinking is that my primary OS on a PI should be a PI OS and then use micro-sd for various needs.
I find that Manjaro 64 bit is a pretty good running OS, however, being ARCH I question whether the Amateur Radio software will be available and current.
Any comments or suggestions would be welcomed,

Hi
I also check local Pawn shops for small 10" and up monitors and laptops. I am using an old HP laptop
with Ubuntu Linux for use as home PC. A Coby, I think brand 12" monitor to use at the house
radio station.
I use for bug out a small 7" monitor Pi combination to use if in a bug out situation should I want to
but that is used more for POTA use with the FT-817.
I do like to visit my two or three local pawn shops, they know me there.

If in BUGOUT -go box? conditions? the internet is not always available. I found the TV was less expensive than a monitor.
Yes you can by a lock back knife ... or buy a swiss army knife that's more versatile.. see my point..
Finally I have a 7 inch touch screen on a RPI3B running HamPi and run Gpredict 24x7 to monitor ISS.. It sets under my main monitor. I am not thrilled with those 7 inch touch screens. Maybe because I have fat fingers (size 13 ring finger)

Good point David. I should mention that I always use vnc via a ssh tunnel/local forward and never expose a vnc server port to the internet. 73 Glenn VE9GJ

That port looks like the standard one, so it should be fine.
As for the username, have you tried pi?

Ah, that might be the answer then.
Yes, it is dumb version, so it means changing the encryption on the Pi side…which would break other VNC clients….

The Raspberry Pi OS images come with the "Real VNC"
server which supports encryption and stronger authentication
compared to legacy VNC servers.? You can either dumb down the
Rpi's VNC server or consider using the RealVNC client on your end
devices.? Since you're using an Amazon device which is heavily
restricted, RealVNC might not be on their app store:

Here is an application that sends images over AX.25:?
If part of the transmission gets lost there is just an overall degradation in image quality, not a missing piece.
The direwolf software TNC has a builtin DTMF decoder which sends a specially encoded packet to all connected applications.
You would need a script to look for that message, tell the camera to capture an image, then command PSCI to transmit it.
PSCI sends packets to direwolf which sends them over the radio.

It looks like the following have stock of Raspberry PI 4 boards only:

Is there a place where you can buy a RPI 4 that is just the RPI itself? I just want the RPI and don't wish to pay for a bunch of extra stuff that I don't need.?
