Ham Radio Micro-controllers & Linux
*Listener Review of this show added to bottom of page

In this episode, Jeremy (KF7IJZ) and George (KJ6VU) team up to talk about micro-controllers and Linux for ham radio operators. They discuss the various types of micro-controllers available, both in terms of software and hardware, and provide tips on what to avoid and how to get the most out of these versatile devices, which are often referred to as the maker's best friend. While Cale is away, the guys have a great discussion that any ham radio enthusiast interested in micro-controllers or Linux won't want to miss!

Comment: Well done gentlemen! That is the most information delivered about microcontroller and embedded Linux systems related to ham radio, and other applications, that I have heard in any podcast, ever. This is great information to enable anyone, whether an EE, or just an interested consumer to build a project based on either of these closely related technologies. KJ6VU and KF7IJZ are really well informed and articulate on all things ham. Fantastic!
