I'm interested in seeing if real time (or near real time) software<br>
control of a UV-5r is practical. Basically, I'd like to setup a<br>
Raspberry Pi, some additional hardware [custom shield] and an Ethernet<br>

a remote [tower top?] back end to a soft [chirp based?] front end on my<br>
Linux desktop or android smart phone.<br>
