What is the RSS?

• RigPiTM Station Server (RSS) is a computer system that controls your station and handles on-the-air activities.
• It’s a radical new way of station control using a server. It allows multiple users and radios to interact simultaneously using any internet browser.

HARDWARE

• RSS is a Raspberry PiTM computer running Linux OS and have add-ons RigPi Keyer and RigPi Audio boards integrated.
• RigPi Keyer board uses the K1EL WinKeyer3 integrated circuit for keyboard or paddle input.
• RigPi Audio board is used for VoIP for remote operations, digital modes and l/Q spectral display (Panadaptor).

RADIO/ROTOR SOFTWARE

RSS radio and rotor control uses Hamlib, a library of over 200 radio and 50 rotors. As new radios and rotors are added you can update.

If you also want to remotely switch ON/OFF the mains voltage of the power supply, use a so-called Web Relay, Internet / Network relay.
