Re: SD Card replacement with on-board memory ?

Re: Wireless comms. (again!)

You should be able to get much better range from a radio module (even a 433mhz one) but it might come down to the right choice of module and how you send the data over it. The really cheap modules might be cheap and seem easy to interface but the trade off is range and having to do any error detecti...

Re: How come the price hasn't gone down?

Potentially others can make Pi like boards today for less. Although that does not seem to be so. So far. ... Or would we still pay for a Pi simply because of the excellent value of the support available? It could be argued that others have made Pi like boards for less, often copying the pi layout. ...

Re: help with SDR setup. Donald Norris

I think those tools have been packaged a while in raspbian so you could probably just use apt to install them. I know there's been some effort by people in Pi Towers to get some of the SDR tools packaged and working on the Pi (particularly those related to the world of HAB)

 This is the 2013 version.
Do you mean 2013 version of Raspbian (in which case you should probably download a more recent version to use)?
or Do you mean 2013 version of the Pi (which would probably make it a 1B/1A/1B+ or 1A+)?
