Nexus DR-X Data Digital Radio Cross-Patch

DG member Budd Churchward WB7FHC developed an integrated, inexpensive data communications system for Amateur Radio data communication called the Nexus DR-X that uses a Raspberry Pi computer. One of the best features about the Nexus DR-X is that DG member Steve Magnuson AG7GN maintains a well-integrated software suite for the Nexus DR-X. The combination of the Nexus DR-X hardware and the AG7GN software is a powerful, easy to use system for data communications. The Nexus DR-X is a general purpose system and can operate many data modes other than fldigi and fsq, such as packet radio and Winlink.

Much of the fun of the Nexus DR-X is that it's an easy-to-build kit. Many DG members have built a DR-X and are using it on the air, with lots of hands-on support available from other DG members. The DG occasionally hosts "build parties" to build (and test) personal Nexus DR-X units. Build parties are announced on the DG’s email list. Some DG members can assemble Nexus DR-X units for others.
