My current GMRS radio is ...

Re: jarecmini on a raspberry

Hello Dan and the group,

I want to be able to transmit and receive on a VHF radio from my android phone. I'd like to use a dedicated, single-board computer (such as a Raspberry PI) to interface to my radio for both audio and PTT, and it looks like jarecmini and Pocket Transceiver could be used to ...
