Re: Which MMDVM Board?

Hi Jason, Ok on the performance differences on the various Pi devices, that is a major difference. I have pre configured an sd card ready to with wifi settings but as we are both in high risk group for this virus we can't go out or meet.

Re: Which MMDVM Board?

Well Jason, I can let you know that you were spot on. The boards arrived, they weren't as shown in the pictures so definitely clone boards without markings. The build quality wasn't that great either but they work and I have tested both boards on a single Pi Zero (can't buy them here at the moment f...
