NSW JOTA-JOTI Is looking into runing a Digipeater and even makeing a few protable units for events. Testing so far has been done with tiny track 4 hardware (pictured below) and the results were good

but Raspberry PI (see below) based system may work out to be a beter system if only for portable systems.

(see our Rasberry PI page for more) in bouth cases a VHF Radio is reqired current idears is to use a yaesu radio as pictured below for the fixed Digipeater, Radios for portable units are still being looked into
