Consider this... what about using something like this, on a super portable but still decently powerful tiny computer like the GPD Pocket 3... and the HackRF One SDR that can also transmit and covers 1 MHz to 6 GHz. Combine that with whatever electric source you want and a backup battery, power-amp, antenna tuner, maybe toss it all into something sturdy like a pellican case and suddenly you also have the option of a semi-rugged and semi-portable (depending on power/antenna options) rig that with a battery pack, solar (and/or other) charger, and portable all-bands antenna(s) and you also have all the makings of a portable camping rig and an emergency backup rig all in one.
Hello how are you ?? I have the skywave Linux for the radios but I just have the usb key, I have everything installed but I can not configure it well, there is only the WebSdr and OpenWebRx Servers that I can listen to, I can not configure the Cubic SDR and the Gqrx, thank you for your answer
I tried HamPi on a Raspberry Pi and it worked fine but when I tried Skywave it wouldn't boot and seems worthless! What do you have to do to make it bootable in an SD card and why can't they make it work like HamPi does? Also I tried Gqrx and it wouldn't work at all!
It is a different architecture, running only in 64 bit X86 hardware. For the Pi, it is easier to install the apps you want, and take the Skywave scripts from Github.
The RTL SDR.com Dongle in Windows with the right Driver can do 100khz-1.7ghz (HF) Is there a patch or driver for Linux to do the same Or are we stuck with 25mhz-1.7ghz above HF
Yeah, they switched to i3wm, a tiling window manager. Not really for the noob user of Linux, but is is a lot more lightweight than a full desktop enviornment. However, any of the benefits that you get from this are wasted, because the developer of the distro made it so that scientific studies are run in the background. On my older machine, I can't even run the OS without my system maxing the CPU and becoming unusable. Truly a boneheaded decision on the developer's part.
