If you're planning to use a Raspberry Pi 3 - no need for a fan at all. If you're going to use a RPi 4, you may not need a fan as it will throttle itself or you can use a heatsink. If a fan is indicate

FH is a valid modulation method in Amateur Radio as long as the hopping pattern is published. But DRAWS isn’t a radio, it’s more of a modem. It doesn’t really control a radio either. That would be a t

It's a personal perspective, but I don't want a fan on an appliance like a DRAWS. Fans are noisy. They suck dust in and spray it all over the board. They're non-static hardware that will inevitably fa

Donald: Wow - that was illuminating! The Atomic Pi did sound too good to be true, especially when you needed an adapter board to power it reliably. OK - take the Atomic Pi out of discussion. Scott Cur

Unlikely. NWDR is on record as HATING Powerpoles.

There is no GPS antenna built into the DRAWS board. That is by design as the DRAWS board is intended to be packaged (along with its host Raspberry Pi) into a metal case which would block an integrated

Thanks for that lead. After browsing Amazon, now I understand why NWDR didn't supply a longer cable. Time to warm up the soldering iron.

Anyone have a lead on a longer power cable for a DRAWS? Yes, I know I can splice a longer cable onto the one that's supplied with the unit, but I'd rather not. I'm sure there's something on Amazon, bu
