Hi George,
if it's linux, a raspberry pi 3 or 4 - if you find one - is all you need. I tested a raspberry 3 with a 7 inch display running DJ0ABR software and a loan Pluto from a friend. It worked. Other systems like odroid etc. may work too.

Hi Martin,
well, you are right but how did you manage the power supply?

One of the best tools to use for a portable station with a pluto and a laptop is SDR console! It will only run on Win. I have used it successfully for 3 months in Italy and it was a blast (see my QRZ page). So get a laptop with a processor and enough memory that runs Win, SDR console with low latency. For example an I7 processor (newer generation) and 16GB Ram. Hope this helps,

Hi Stefan,
I think, I will try both proposals.

Sounds great! Please let us know what works for you.
