[Elecraft] K3s Digital mode fun

[Jerry Moore]

I stared playing with my Raspberry Pi running Noobs Debian and FLDigi. I
have to say I'm very surprised and impressed at how well it works. I'm in
the process of buying the newer/faster version and a metal shielded case.
The Plan is to mount the RASPI case inside a rugged enclosure having a +12v
DC to DC converter to +5V AND my +12v powersupply mounted. The idea is to
have something I can take mobile. 
The only downside is the cost. For around $200 I could have a laptop that is
faster + does more but also weighs more and has more RFI.
The Pi with a used thrift store monitor, keyboard, mouse, I'm right at $100
without the DC-DC converter (running an AC linear converter aka Wall wart).

I need to think about it some more. The end goal is something around 30w
mobile without spending a fortune. The Raspberry Pi has been impressive so
far.
