John-

Been there done that with RigPi. This thing is a “glitter turd”. RigPi gives you variable remote control of VFO. Period. All other radio control is via on/off buttons. Want to change your bandpass, IF shift, RF gain, etc? Nope. Only on/off buttons that you have to program via hamlib commands. Then there is the all the issues setting up Mumble for audio transport. I had two beta testers contact me privately admitting that RigPi was released too soon. MFJ claims “Easy as 1-2-3.” -  1. Turn on 2. Config 3. Goto 1.
I sold mine for a $75 loss and told the buyer what to expect. His problem now. If you could get Mumble or a similar program to work for audio transport, you would be $300 ahead to setup Rpi with VNC and install Flrig (which has variable controls) and any other software you want to use. RigPi tells you to use VNC for digital modes anyway - so why buy it?
