“In have used previous. Erosions of the Raspberry Pi. The 4 model B 2GB is great for my Flightradar24 setup. Works great. I have added a case and cooling fan also.”
“Hi PiHut.
As a prolific user of the Raspberry Pi, you would probably like to know how I use your products. I am a licenced Amateur Radio operator, commonly known as a Radio Ham for want of a better word.
For the past several years, I have replaced the old solid state logic used to control FM Radio Repeater systems with a Raspberry Pi, running Raspberry OS in its various forms, with a software called SVXLink (svxlink.org) running under C++ and TCL and a couple of other packages.
By the use of a small USB Sound Card and a control interface connected to the GPIO, the Radio repeater has enhanced functionality, with the added bonus that it can be adjusted remotely subject to internet connection.
Currently I have 5 of these configured, but the Radio amateur Community has taken the project on board and is running hard with it.
Secondly I am also involved in another aspect of Digital Radio, where the Raspberry Pi in many of its guises is coupled with a HAT or an Arduino, to provided the management and connectivity of STM modem devices to the variety of Radio Amateur Digital Networks available. I have several of these devices, three in RF Radio Repeaters, and two running localised HotSpots.
In total I have currently in service three Raspberry Pi 2B, two Raspberry Pi B+, A Raspberry Pi 3B, A Raspberry Pi 3A+ and with the latest arrival of the 4B it is proving to be a very interesting time.
I am currently trying to amalgamate the two aspects FM and Digital radio using SVXlink, and Python using stacked Raspberry Pis rather than introduce an X86 Server. What better way than the Raspberry Pi 4.
Many regards

“Bought the Pi4 as my first Raspberry Pi. I'm well pleased with it. Service from The Pi Hut was excellent with the Pi and all other items well packed and delivered to me less than 36 hours after placing my order.”
“Great service by pi hut, really fast delivery as well.
I’ve used the RPi a few times in the past for some projects and they are just workhorses.
This one is being used for Octopi to control a 3D printer, it’s just awesome”
“Great little piece of kit and much cheaper than Amazon! This is currently powering a full sized arcade machine running hundreds of classic games... !!”
