Ham-Pi – Ham Radio Raspberry Pi

Easy Ham Radio Software Install on the Raspberry Pi

There is a ton of great ham radio software available for the Raspberry Pi for everything from HF digital modes to Packet and Winlink.

Unless you are a raspberry Pi aficionado or a unix junkie installing some of the applications can be difficult to install and configure.

This is where Ham-Pi comes in. With a simple copy and paste from a website to the Raspberry Pi connected to the Internet, a menu driven installation allows you to pick from a large list of ham radio applications for the Raspberry Pi. One you make your selection and answer a couple of questions like your callsign, Ham-pi does all of the hard work of installing the applications.

Once the install is done, a quick reboot and all of the applications are ready to be used.
