This Raspberry Pi Ham Radio Transmitter BLEW MY MIND! | Radioberry + SparkSDR

This Raspberry Pi Ham Radio Transmitter BLEW MY MIND! | Radioberry + SparkSDR

Welcome back to Temporarily Offline, I’m Steve (KM9G), and today we’re diving headfirst into some serious Raspberry Pi ham radio experimentation!

🔧 We’re playing with the Radioberry SDR Hat, paired with a Raspberry Pi 4 and powered by SparkSDR. This open-source setup is based on the Hermes-Lite architecture, using HPSDR protocols to create a fully functional software-defined transmitter that fits in your hand.

💡 Whether you’re new to SDR or you’re a hardcore RF tinkerer, this is the kind of project that proves ham radio is still alive and evolving. Let’s explore the possibilities together.

Stop Struggling: The RIGHT Way to Set Up WiFi on X6100 & X6200

Stop Struggling: The RIGHT Way to Set Up WiFi on X6100 & X6200

In a word… "Patience".

The issue with WiFi is well known to Xiegu. We have already asked Xiegu several times to get that fixed. Unfortunately the Xiegu WiFi implementation seems to be buggy / insufficient.

📻 Use Code TO15 for $15 off at Radioddity: https://www.radioddity.com/?ref=bpajyqft

Known issues with WiFi:
only 2.4GHz supported (5GHz: not supported)
Mesh-networks not supported
WiFi6 not supported
Most of the special characters within a password: not supported
WPA2 password protected
DHCP sometimes does cause issues

If all else fails, try the following:

Log on to your X6100/X6200 via the DEV-port (CONSOLE).
Navigate to the following folder:

sudo stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 cs8 -parenb
screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
username: root
password: 123
cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
rm *

(this will remove any WIFI-settings) Now your radio is "brand new" (with regards to WIFI). Next try connecting to your home network. Keep in mind those issues listed above.
