[Dxspider-support] DX Cluster and Raspberry PI or Beagle Bone

[keith kan]

Similar to the other replies I have been running Dxspider/Raspberry Pi 
for a number of months. Recently installed a second unit/dxspider with
a larger SD card to allow me to experiment with other radio related software
at the same time.  Intending to interface station via gpio.

Regards,   Keith (gb7dxy)
