Link to PiGate and PiGate RMS

 

Myself and a few others are in the process of "refreshing" our installs of PiGate and PiGate RMS before hurricane season. I can find the new link to the RMS files, but not to the "regular" PiGate files or the supporting documents. Does anyone have those handy?

Not a single warning message from the Pi about low voltage, etc.

IMHO, my Pi5 is going to be a great addition to my portable kit. I¡¯m still looking for an acceptable smallish monitor for it, but I assume that¡¯s the easy part.

I have a 3D printed case that fits the Pimoroni NVMe base on its way, so that¡¯ll enable me to put the 5 into a nice protective case and tuck it into the big case where I stow my portable rig (Icom IC-7200).

Anyway, it¡¯s nice to have options. The thought of using an AC inverter with my portable rig so I could use the official power supply was crazy (DC to AC and back again is stupid.)

I¡¯ll test this same setup with an external USB 3 SSD as well, and I¡¯ll report back here.

Re: Pi 5 portable power

Do you notice a large difference in using the 5 vs a 4 (assuming you used a 4)? I have a 4 that¡¯s been very reliable, and I have a MoPi board to run it off 12v, but there¡¯s going to come a day where it dies from rough service in my POTA bag and I¡¯ll need something else.

I usually use my iPad and VNC into it (I have a script that detects if my home WiFi is available, and if not setup its own access point), but this last winter field day I had a 12v capable monitor and keyboard and really liked the extra space. The monitor has HDMI and VGA inputs for the pi and my ftdx10. Found it in the junk box of my dad¡¯s when he passed a few months ago, but stuff like that is available on Amazon. I¡¯ve also thought about the portable monitors that use usb c for power, but I don¡¯t think the pi will output video and power on the same cable.?

Thanks,
Dan

Re: Pi 5 portable power

 

Yep, unfortunately, but the cable does use 17awg wires for power, so it definitely can handle the current.

I'll let someone else decipher that page but my take on it is that it is 3A (15 watts) unless it able to?negotiate to get higher power.

So it would seem it would be better to use one of the PD ports and get?3A (15 watts)?versus the QC port and only get 10 watts.

Re: Using pi4 Radioberry outside LAN #networking

 

Thanks for your comments. I hadn't realised how many UDP ports SDR Console uses to talk to radios. I used wire shark to monitor traffic to the radio on my LAN and forwarded all the ports I could see in use to the radio. I could then operate it from the internet but the audio quality was not good, especially on transmit, probably due to bandwidth / latency problems.
I also have an RSP1A listening to QO-100 on 739 MHz this is connected to a RPi4 with SDR Play server which talks to SDR Play client over the internet but this has the option of using an audio connection rather than full IQ and the audio quality is good with this (SDR Play client though is nowhere near as good as SDR Console). I was hoping to have a full duplex QO-100 transceiver, with remote operation, using my RPi/radioberry transceiver (with DXpatrol up / down converters from 28 MHz) + the RSP1A for listening during transmission. It does all work now but the quality is not good enough. I think I will try using a VNC set up.

A Fikwot FN501 PRO NVMe was installed on my Pi-5 following a Utube video by Jeff Gerling.

It boots without the SD card, but seems slow and the test method used by Jeff doesn't work with my setup.

I made a screen capture of the output produced for the drive with sudo lspci -vvv, but I'm not sure if it is OK to upload it here.

What I need to know is if the drive is compatible with my Pi-5.

And, if I should upload the screen capture.

Re: Using pi4 Radioberry outside LAN #networking

 

The UDP packets need to be delivered with low latency. Not something the internet will help fix. You could try a VPN but I don¡¯t think the IQ data will be useful with delays and drops from the internet

your better off using vnc or rdp to console in and pipe audio or whatever not the raw IQ?

Using pi4 Radioberry outside LAN #networking

 

Hi I have an HF transceiver based on a Pi4 and radio berry. It works fine on my LAN with SDRConsole but I am unable to connect to it from the internet.
On my LAN I have fixed the IP address in my router (via DHCP) , I have a fixed IP and I have port forwarded external port 1024 (I have tried several others) to the pi but I am unable to connect with SDR Console. I have had no problems with access via SSH with port forwarding.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what to try? I presumed it was a port forwarding issue but maybe it is something more fundamental?

Regards Richard
