Kits for Hams is pleased to announce the availability of a cooling fan option for the SHARI PiHat (Neo case). The SHARI PiHat in the Argon40 Neo case uses the case as a heatsink for the CPU and RAM of the Raspberry Pi4B. This causes the case to get quite warm if the Allstar node is used to participate in a long net where the node is transmitting almost 100% of the time. Thus, some users have asked for a cooling fan option for the SHARI PiHat. They are especially concerned about temperature in an uncontrolled environment such as operation of a portable or mobile node. Responding to these requests, the engineering team at Kits for Hams has developed a cooling fan option. The fan operates from 5 VDC obtained from the Raspberry Pi 5 VDC on the GPIO connector. The fan runs continuously . The fan option installation manual can be found in the SHARI PiHat Documentation folder (look for the Folder icon) in the Files section of this group /g/SHARI/files Please email us at kitsforhams@... for additional information and to order.

Kits for Hams is pleased to announce that a new version of the SHARI PiHat, called the SHARI PiHat (Unistorm Case) is now available for purchase. This case allows the use of either a Pi3 or a Pi4. SHARI PiHat (Unistorm Case) utilizes a slightly different version of the SHARI PiHat PC board (we call it the SHARI PiHat Mod2). It is electrically equivalent to the current SHARI PiHat board but utilizes the standard PiHat dimensions and permits an external (or internal) USB connection, so it is more useful to experimentors that would like to purchase only the board to build it into their own case. The full product announcement and construction manuals can be found in the SHARI PiHat Unistorm Case folder (look for the Folder icon) in the FIles section of this group /g/SHARI/files Please email us at kitsforhams@... for additional information and to order.

#Announcement
Kits 4 Hams is pleased to announce that a new version of the SHARI PiHat, called the SHARI PiHat (52Pi Case) is now available for purchase The SHARI PiHat (52Pi Case) utilizes the SHARI PiHat Mod2 PCB. This is the same board that we use with the Unistorm case version.

The fan and Pi4B heatsinks are included with the kit. - The connecton to the external antenna SMA connector is made with a short coax cable terminated with a U.FL (IPEX) connector which plugs into a mating jack on the SHARI PiHat Mod2 PC board. - A smoked Lexan cover allows the COMMS, COS and PTT LEDs to be easily observed More information about the SHARI PiHat (52Pi case), the construction manual, pricing and how to order it can be found on our website: https://kits4hams.com/shari-pihat-52pi-case

Hello everyone, I bought a Shari kit at the Fort Wayne Hamfest. I soldered it together and it was almost working. It was receiving audio from the HT but wasn't transmitting any audio out from allstar. After looking it over I had more solder than I needed around the radio chip. I got some of the extra solder off, the stuff that was also touching the shield and after doing that, it worked!I suspect that something was grounding out on the sheild. I plan to use this as a portable allstar node and have it setup to connect to my wifi hotspot on my phone. 73, -Ed, KE8ANU

Newbie Question
5
Sent this message earlier but system didnt think I was subscribed.. I have read that the Radio module has delays in opening and receiving in other forums. My guess is it goes to sleep to conserve power. Has anyone else detected the slight delay when receiving or transmitting through the SHARI? BTW to the designer, I purchased all three products and have to say you have done one fantastic job! Love them. -Brad W4INT

The instructions for the setup and the construction of the SHARI are awesome.
I bought a SHARI kit from Steve (N8AR) and Alex last weekend at the Hazel Park swap meet. Steve asked me to download and follow the instructions for the construction and setup of the SHARI and let him know if they made sense and they were easy to follow. Here is my report Steve, The instructions for both construction and setup were spot on and easy to follow, I had the SHARI built and on the air in no time at all and it worked the first try. I am very happy with the SHARI and I will tell other people about it, Thanks for all the hard work on this product Steve. Terry N KE8GXK 73

Received My SHARI Yesterday - This Thing is Awesome!
3
Just wanted to say thanks for the SHARI! I didn't have high expectations when ordering, but was blown away after hooking up the product & using it. It was super easy to program, and the instructions are top notch. There wasn't a single detail overlooked. And the quality control... I don't know of anyone else that individually tests each product, and provides detailed specs as far as even letting you know how many db down the 2nd and 3rd harmonics are. You just can't go wrong at this price point. I'm going to recommend the SHARI to everyone I know! Any plans on releasing a VHF version? I know there is a SA818 VHF module available. Thanks again & 73! -- Andrew Sylthe KC9ONA

Is there any way with SHARI or the sa818 to either use DCS or to turn on reverse burst to remove the squelch blast heard on the local radio?
