Hi all,
RigPi 4 will be released in early September. Our team of Beta testers has been hard at work wringing out bugs. RigPi 4 has been completely rebuilt using the Raspberry Pi Bullseye O/S and Nginx web server. MFJ will have the new version available on their web site. We will let you know here on the forum when it is ready.
RigPi 4 has many new features including a calendar/scheduler which allows multiple users to schedule the use of a selected radio. Clubs using RigPi to provide remote access to a radio will appreciate this feature. I'll provide more details on the new features when version 4 is released..

Arcom EX1 Port Expander expands the functionality of a regular Voip Node.
This USB sound fob interface works extremely well for ALLSTAR nodes and with modifications also for IRLP Nodes.
PIIRLP Nodes are very mature and reliable voip platform.
Leveraging the awesome ClearNode ALLSTAR solution.
RIGPI can control most modern radios.
Employing a high - speed data network independent of the Internet and create a backbone to pass higher data communication.
A fully loaded controller to add additional control capabilities and monitoring.
Adding additional remote receivers and advanced linking capability.
Supports Solar Panel or power supply charging of batteries in off-grid battery powered scenarios.
Using a dedicated HF Station control system to control the selection of antennas, rotor contrrol, bandpass filters, etc.
Having Digital Mode Access increases the overall effectiveness.
Having an effective antenna system makes a tremendous difference
Being able to access various systems and capabilities remotely, truly showcases the hobby.
The ODYSSEY is the outcome of many hours of research, experimentation, and application of radio, networking and off-grid technologies.
It is comprised of a number of different systems that can be interconnected via radio frequencies, the internet and the AREDN - Amateur Radio Emergency Network.
We call it the ODYSSEY because of all the various rabbit holes of learning we entered in our quest to build our ultimate communication system.
