👋 Welcome back to SA6HAM Radio, the channel where we explore the fascinating world of amateur radio! In today's episode, we take a deep dive into my latest R&D project—a custom-built Panadapter for the Yaesu FT-891.

🔨 What's Inside:
- Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB RAM)
- Hyperpixel 4” Touch Screen
- Airspy R2 & Spyverter R2
- MFJ-1708B-SDRS for radio protection
- Running FLRig, Cat-Relay, and SDR++

🎛️ How It Works:
This setup utilizes a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 4-inch Hyperpixel touch screen to provide an intuitive interface. Under the hood, I'm running FLRig for rig control, SDR++ for the software-defined radio interface, and Cat-Relay to ensure seamless communication between SDR++ and the FT-891. An Airspy R2 and Spyverter R2 provide exceptional reception, and the MFJ 1708S-SDRS acts as a safeguard between the radio and the Spyverter.

🔄 Sync & Mode:
One of the standout features of this build is the use of Cat-Relay, which ensures that both SDR++ and the FT-891 are always on the same frequency and mode, giving you a fully integrated experience.

📦 What's Next:
The final touch to this project will be a custom-built case to house all the components neatly. The aim is to see if this setup has the potential to become a commercial kit for fellow ham radio enthusiasts.

📺 Watch me demo the Panadapter as it sits proudly on top of my FT-891, and find out how this powerful addition can elevate your ham radio experience.
