Once the install is done, a quick reboot and all of the applications are ready to be used. One you make your selection and answer a couple of questions like your callsign, Ham-pi does all of the hard work of installing the applications. With a simple copy and paste from a website to the Raspberry Pi connected to the Internet, a menu driven installation allows you to pick from a large list of ham radio applications for the Raspberry Pi.
Unless you are a raspberry Pi aficionado or a unix junkie installing some of the applications can be difficult to install and configure. There is a ton of great ham radio software available for the Raspberry Pi for everything from HF digital modes to Packet and Winlink. How do I get a ham radio (amateur radio) license?.Ham Radio Unlimited Youtube Channel Toggle sub-menu.Digital-Tracker (formerly D-Star Tracker).A week or so ago I saw a weather fax ( WEFAX) picture someone had posted that they’d captured on HF. This grabbed my attention because I like maps and I like to see things to do with the weather. I’d tried a couple of years ago to receive satellite weather pictures with little success (due to a very poor aerial) and the idea that I can receive weather maps on HF intrigued me. I know that strictly this isn’t amateur radio in the true sense because these transmissions aren’t within our frequency allocations but it’s still interesting.Īfter very little searching, I discovered that fldigi can receive fax pictures. I use fldigi for operating data contests so I’m very familiar with it. I soon had it configured correctly and so the next stage was to find what frequency the WEFAX pictures are transmitted on. A quick search around and an ask via Twitter pointed me towards this document which lists various transmitting stations around the world. There are two in Europe that I decided to try listening for, one in the UK at Northwood and the other in Hamburg, Germany. I first started listening on the UK frequencies but heard nothing so I switched over to Germany and over the course of the week, I received a lot of pictures. The 3,855.000 kHz signal seemed about the best for me here. If you want to use fldigi to receive WEFAX, you need to do the following: fldigi receiving a WEFAX image from the Northwood transmitter This morning I switched to the Northwood frequency of 4,610.000 kHz and very soon the pictures started rolling in. If you are receiving signals from Germany then the shift is 850Hz instead of the default 800Hz. This is changed through Configure / Operating / Active Modem, select the Other tab on the second row and then the Wax tab below it. For Germany, put 850 in the Frequency shift box or leave it at 800 for UK reception. If you switch between the two transmitters, remember to change this figure. Make sure you hit the Save box at the bottom.
