Picked up a Raspberry Pi 2 at the Dayton Hamvention last Saturday. I'm going to use it for generating a precisely timed RTTY FSK signal for my K3. As a bonus it runs Linux and has a web browser which I'm using to create this post.

It seemed less crowded than previous years, but there were more booths in the flea market. Mendelson's was doing a land office business in their tent, and Elecraft intoduced the K3S. Yeasu, Icom, and Kenwood seemed more subdued this year, and TEN-TEC was about the same level of activity as last year. MCM was also doing a land office business in RPi 2 starter kits for $64.00

I went to the forums on RTTY Contesting, and HF Backpack Antennas. They were both worthwhile.

It's one sweet board for the price. Just be sure to get a good USB supply (2A 5VDC) with larger wires for it. It's a power hog. :p

It came with it's own wallwart and had a mini-USB connector for the power. I did have to get a new HDMI cable at Walmart because my box of miscellaneous cables is buried.o_O
