[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] KJ4FUU's New equipment (RPi)

[Wally Hunt]

I also have a couple RPi 4B's.

I have also found KM4ACK's pi-build github very beneficial.
https://github.com/km4ack/pi-build. I have found this approach to be a bit
more automated, and uses less of the command line.

73,

Wally - KO4ARA
