RC = Release CAndidate -- not needed now -- current version is

Pi-Star_RPi_V4.1.2_20-May-2020.zip

Jumbospots are generally a STM32_MMDVM Pi Hat (GPIO), or very similar wording but you do need to set the Dosplay to OLED (Type 3 for the smaller screen aor Type 6 for the bigger OLED screen befor the MMDVM will display. I also seem to remember that they made it so that there is now a screen saver that blanks the screen instead of that MMDVM going across the screen. You can set that in the MMDVM expert settings.
