I'm sitting for my General ham radio license next month and I've been thinking through how to get online in digital HF modes. This led me to install Ubuntu on a Samsung Chromebook using Crouton. I've documented the steps I've taken to install Ubuntu and some software packages for digital HF operation.
I'm setting up a ham shack as a portable go box for ARES and field work, including camping. Everything will run off an external power supply. There's a lot to learn and do.
Currently, I have a Kenwood TM-281A on 2m, and a Baofeng UV-B5 HT dual band. Ubuntu will be the front end of a digital HF station with a Signalink USB interface to an HF radio/antenna.
