Needed info for pi build

During the install you will need a few pieces of information depending on what you choose to install. If installing all apps, you will need:

For Hotspot: Current WiFi SSID & Current WiFi Password

For Pat Winlink: Winlink Password & Grid Square

Available Apps to Install

HOTSPOT: Hotspot is used to generate a wifi hotspot that you can connect to with other wireless devices. This is useful when in the field so you can connect to and contol the pi from a wireless device.

GPS: This will install the needed utilities to get a GPS device configured as a time source on the pi. Helpful when you are not connected to the internet since the pi doesn't have a real time clock and therefore will NOT keep accurate time when powered off.

FLRIG: Rig contol graphical interface.

FLDIGI: Digital Mode Software

PAT: Winlink client for Raspberry Pi

ARDOPC: HF modem for Pat. Recommended if installing Pat

ARDOPGUI: GUI interface for ARDOPC. Recommended if installing Pat

PATMENU: Menu for configuring Pat. Recommended if installing Pat.

DIREWOLF: Software TNC. In this setup, direwolf is used for 2M packet connection with Pat and can be used for APRS connection with Xastir. Recommneded if installing Pat or Xastir

AX25: AX25 tools for Direwolf & Pat. Recommended if installing Pat.

HAMLIB: Rig contol software.

PULSE: Pulse audio. Provides a way to configure virtual sound cards. REQUIRED for AMRRON ops.

JS8: JS8Call digital software

M0IAX: Tools for working with JS8Call. Recommended if installing JS8Call

WSJTX: FT8 & WISPR software suite.

CHIRP: Software to program radios.

XASTIR: GUI interface useful when configuring APRS nodes.

YAAC: Yet Another APRS Client GUI interface useful when configuring APRS nodes.

Emergency Email Server (EES): My personal EES. Require hotspot to be installed.
