HOTSPOTS
Raspberry Pi - Star 4 Duplex Repeater Hotspot = DMR | D-Star | YSF (Wires-X reflectors) multi modes
TIP:added Extreme Cooling Fan Kit (5v) and a second Venting Fan (3.5v) w filter - to keep PI Star 4 running much cooler.
TIP: Without extra heat reduction the board can run VERY HOT dependent on setup and load/use.
Raspberry Pi - Zero2 W, with Modem Hat, Hotspot = DMR | D-Star | YSF (Wires-X reflectors) multi mode
Do not let its small size fool you, this little hotspot provides outstanding performance. Great value and low cost.
