Install WSJT-X and fldigi on Raspberry pi
Nowadays, digital communication is popular in amateur radio. JT65 and FT8 are capable of DX communication with weak signals.In the era of urbanization, the space for installing antennas is gradually diminishing. So we seem to prefer communications that can be transmitted away with weak signals.
Install wsjtx, the most representative software for weak signal digital communication, in Raspberry Pi.
The basic setting for Raspberry Pie is ‘Raspberry pi 3 Setup (basic)’ on this blog.
