Not chinese junk suitable for single board computers

After being rejected by several chinese versions I got from ebay I tried this board. works like a champion. No problems and works right out of the box without setting an offset. Although the instructions say to set the offset to 0 and just play around to figure it out. It would be nice if the instructions were more specific about required offsets. but for me 0 works fine. Have 0.01% BER.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Damaged

Exceeded My Expectations

I was a little skeptical about its performance when I bought this board, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. I'm very impressed with her. It connects to Raspberry Pi 3B and 3B+ boards very easily. It loads a little faster on 3B+ and works like a charm. I definitely recommend this board. The only downside that isn't that important is the display. But to be honest, the only purpose the display really serves is to know if the device is actually connecting to a Wi-Fi network. Besides, it's…

No Chinese Crap - Computers and Accessories

After several Chinese versions I got from ebay failed, I tried this board. works like a champion. No problems and works right out of the box without setting an offset. Although the instructions say to set the offset to 0 and just play around to figure it out. It would be nice if the instructions were more specific about required offsets. but for me 0 works fine. Have 0.01% BER.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Minor Stuff

Good kit - works great - but no info on offset frequency

Access point works great. It was easy to build with my Raspberry Pi Zero; this is a good kit. Aside from the following issue, there were no issues setting it up for use with Pi-Star and DMR. It took a little while to figure out the offset frequency to get an acceptable bit error rate. The board does NOT come with a label stating the offset rate. There was a lot of trial and error.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Long wait

Works well with Yaesu FT-70D but no heart cheating system

I am a 35 year old radio amateur and electrical engineer and I wanted to use Yaesu HT to connect to the YSF and DMR network. The board worked as advertised, but you can have a steep learning curve in the world of digital hotspots (I did). Get ready to spend time on the internet, reading and watching YouTube videos to connect after building your hotspot. Connect this MMDVM hotspot board to an old Raspberry Pi 3B (1GB) I had. Download the PiStar Pi OS image and follow the installation and setup…

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Sad device
