It's radio Jim, but not as we know it…

I have it on good authority that if you connect a piece of wire to pin 4 of the gpio connector (length of wire determined by frequency of course) your Pi can transmit.
This Github link will take you to the software and the video in the previous post shows you how to install and run it on a Raspberry Pi
Have fun !

We’re still working on some issues with the GB7OK Repeater following the multimode upgrade.
The repeater cavity filters are still awaiting a re-tune but the problems with audio levels on DStar causing low deviation has been resolved.
It’s all a ‘work in progress’.
Updates and progress reports will be posted on our social media feeds.
Please bear with us as we work to resolve these problems and restore full service to the GB7OK Repeater.
Thankyou.
Meshtastic® is a project that enables you to use inexpensive LoRa radios as a long range off-grid communication platform in areas without existing or reliable communications infrastructure. This project is 100% community driven and open source!
It’s a popular term introduced to me by M6ZPSwhen he used it to describe the modern amateur radio shack where every piece of equipment is a piece of modern high-tech communications equipment but also small in order to fit into the limited space of a ‘Microshack‘.
