In this video we receive a new SHARI hotspot kit for the Raspberry Pi, we put it together with a bit of soldering, we download the HamVOIP image, install it and walk through configuring the software to run on the SHARI.
The SHARI hotspot allows you to have a node on AllStar and Echolink right in your shack. You cn use a simple handheld radio to control it.
Look for more videos in the very near future on how to use the SHARI hotspot from your radio and setting up more features.
