However, they have become extremely popular and are selling well outside the original target market including in amateur radio. Well-known expert Mike Richards, G4WNC sets out to provide the basics of the Raspberry Pi, alongside making them work in an amateur radio context.<\/p>\n<h3>About Mike<\/h3>\n<p>Mike has been involved in radio and electronics since his childhood days. Following a 42-year career with BT, Mike\u2014who was first licensed as G8HHA\u2014turned to computing in the early 70s where he experimented with radio data links between his Compukit UK101 and a friend\u2019s TRS-80. That spurred him on to get his Full licence, G4WNC, where he has maintained an interest in digital modes. Mike\u2019s writing career began some 25 years ago when he took over the PW RTTY column from Ron Ham and has been writing reviews and regular columns for many radio magazines including RadCom. His latest endeavour has been the well-received book <em>Raspberry Pi Explained for Radio Amateurs<\/em>, published by the RSGB.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsgbshop.org\/cgi-bin\/sh000042.pl?WD=raspberry%20pi&amp;PN=Online_Catalogue_Computing___Radio_39%2Ehtml#a1774\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25127 size-thumbnail alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/files\/2020\/06\/Raspberry-Pi-explained-book-cover-106x150.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 106px) 100vw, 106px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/files\/2020\/06\/Raspberry-Pi-explained-book-cover-106x150.jpg 106w, https:\/\/rsgb.org\/main\/files\/2020\/06\/Raspberry-Pi-explained-book-cover.jpg 200w\" alt=\"\" width=\"106\" height=\"150\" data-wp-editing=\"1\" \/><\/a>Check out Mike\u2019s book \u2013\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsgbshop.org\/cgi-bin\/sh000042.pl?WD=raspberry%20pi&amp;PN=Online_Catalogue_Computing___Radio_39%2Ehtml#a1774\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Raspberry Pi Explained for Radio Amateurs<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong>Available now from the RSGB Shop<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Find out more<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Please note the RSGB is not responsible for the content of external websites. <\/strong><strong>Also note that any software listed here is downloaded at the reader\u2019s own risk, and the RSGB is not responsible for any unwanted effects arising from its use<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lecture, blog and support group<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Watch Mike&#8217;s 2017 Convention lecture <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AvVkY_2DwTk&amp;list=PLmtHS6LSBybbHbbq9PSUqfeC00EvL_N8l&amp;index=14&amp;t=2s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pi in the shack<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Mike&#8217;s web page for ready-to-use SD cards and Raspberry Pi blog<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.g4wnc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>g4wnc.com<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Raspberry Pi Explained support group for the book and all things Pi<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/groups.io\/g\/Raspberry-Pi-Explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>groups.io\/g\/Raspberry-Pi-Explained\/topics<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>SDR receivers<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/softerhardware\/Hermes-Lite2\/wiki\/Group-Buy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Hermes Lite-2 transceiver info<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makerfabs.com\/index.php?route=product\/search&amp;search=hermes%20lite%202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hermes Lite-2 on Makerfabs<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/pa3gsb\/Radioberry-2.x\/wiki\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>RadioBerry Wiki<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/airspy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Airspy receivers and software<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pi cases and cooling<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thepihut.com\/products\/aluminium-armour-heatsink-case-for-raspberry-pi-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Aluminium Armour &#8211;
