Linux has great support for Bluetooth. I have used Bluetooth to do many things with my pi..

The only problem, Is that is very difficult to configure. Do your research.

Good Luck

I too am curious as I have been thinking of making such a purchase myself for radio work around the shack.

I have a smartphone sized scope.. I bought from Seeed studio's..

I have the DSO nano and the DSO quad... Actually I like the DSO nano better...

I also use the $48 digital storage scope for monitoring SSB HF output in my shack..(I sample RF with a diode)

I however bought that from china and found it for $35 a year ago. It's a hobbiest scope in china..

I did find a beautiful Tektronic TAS465- US coast guard surplus (with PMEL calibration tags) on ebay from a company in silver springs, md. (just outside of Washington DC) last month.That is sitting on my test bench..I was sole bidder on Labor Day- $119 I got it for...ebay member- telnetliquid-llc... he has an ebay store..

Finally, my DSO quad is for sale.. Used 2-3 times. looks new in the box.. It's going to the ENID OK hamfest next weekend.

USB Oscilliscopes

Don Bowen
 

I am looking at USB oscilloscopes for various projects and to maintain the club repeater. There are several on the market around $100 and under. Some are rated for 40MHz and have logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and other functions available. Has anyone experience and recommendations? I have an HP 200MHz scope but it is a pain to haul to the repeater to make audio adjustments.

Betreff: [Raspberry_Pi_4-Ham_RADIO] Bluetooth Devices on a Pi



I'd like to try using some Bluetooth devices on my RasPi. I currently
don't have any Bluetooth devices so before I waste a bunch of money I'd
like to find out what will work and what I can do. I have found Bluetooth
dongles, keyboards, speakers and serial ports. Are there any others? What
kind of support does Linux (as it applies to the RasPi) have for these
devices? If I have more than one device is it then called Blueteeth?

greetings all
First I would like to thank K6FED for making this very interesting advisory document available as I found it to be of great help to myself.
As a complete newby to D Star I would like to get something going in my area, Townsville North Queensland Australia.
We are located 1600klms north of Brisbane the capital of Queensland and have no D Star at all to my knowledge out side of the
southeast corner of the state and no D Star radios owned by Hams in this area.

I did as much research as I could understand and went about setting up enough hardware to be able (I thought) to setup a D Star to analogue
bridge.

My understanding and interpretation of this is that if I could have some D Star traffic running on a radio that local hams might be able to
listen too and communicate back to,? would foster some interest in the mode for our local area and if there was enough interest eventually
installation of a full blown D Star repeater for our Townsville area.

I think I have lost count the number of times I have watched Andrew Careys D Star to analogue bridge on "you tube" video but have been trying
to pic up as many little bits and pieces that I might otherwise have missed.

From this I have purchased the following hardware
1 - Icom ID51a D Star radio to use for testing
2 - DMK engineering usb to radio controllers
1 - DV RPTR board/Box complete
1 - DV 3000 board
2 - Raspberry Pi micro PC's
2 - Simico SR9000 radios one vhf and one uhf

I set aside last weekend to setup the Raspberry Pi with fixed ip and remote access, .... downloaded and printed the NW designs "how to" in order to get
AMBE to work as well as ircDDB gateway to work on the Pi

This would have been step one before adding a radio and setting it going 24/7 and getting to know a bit about D Star?

I spent all of Saturday and Saturday evening trying to get this to work and then put out a call for help. Adrian Fewster VK4TUX kindly offered
assistance and at 9:30 am Sunday went about trying to get the AMBE/DV3000 software and ircDDB software to work on the raspberry Pi.
By 8:00pm Sunday evening and some 70 email exchanges later we were no further ahead with this, and I decided to "can it" at that point figuring
that my knowledge of linux is poor at best and if Adrian couldnt get it going I would have absolutely no chance at all.

So now after reading though the options in the PDF file I find none of the options will work as without a D Star radio you really cannot do much.
With windows which is what I am more familiar with,? there does not appear to be an option to use the dv3000 board which would make the analogue
gateway possible.

I cannot expect local hams to go out and buy a D Star Radio in the hope that they might like to continue down that path as it would be a waste of money
to have a mode that they would never use should they not like it.

So with this in mind does anyone out there have any ideas as to what I can do or is my expectations too high, ... in that case would I be better to just can the whole
project and not waste anymore time and money on this???

I would very much appreciate some thoughts and ideas as to where to from here?

thanks in advance and sorry if you got the long spiel, .... however it is important to know at what point I have come from with this
and where to go from here.
