What is DigiPi?

DigiPi is an easy-to-use amateur radio data transceiver hotspot for Raspberry Pi. All radio data modes are easily accessible over wifi via your phone or web browser. Make FT8, JS8Call, APRS and packet modes work like any other mobile phone app. Hookup a DigiPi to your rig and instantly have access to radio SMS, EMail, and texting. Ultra-light, low-power makes it indispensable for Summit and Park operations. Let's make Ham radio relevant in the information age! DigiPi implements all the data modes we talk about at KM6LYW Radio YouTube channel and is available to Patrons of the channel! A radio license is generally required to use DigiPi, please lookup a local Ham Radio club and get licensed today!
