I have some hardware with me and a working software stack on my laptop. With a laptop, a 2m/70cm radio, and the right cable, you're ready to go. I might also be able to lend some equipment. For licensed amateur radio operators or as part of training radio operations only. I’m far from a professional but look forward to exchanging ideas.
Location/time hasn’t been set yet. DM me if you’re interested. If there’s room, we’ll spontaneously announce one or more a self-organized sessions.
