<P class=MsoNormal>Radioshack has a sale running. I found the “Getting Started
with Beaglebone” package on clearance. Buy a package of RadioShack batteries and
get the Beaglebone for half price, which was $15.74 or $20.72. I don’t know if
they are running the same sale in CT/NY. I don’t think RS batteries are the
best, but the price for the Beaglebone can’t be beat!<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Rasberry Pi has a larger user group and maybe has been around
longer. However if you are really into stuff like this, there are a lot of
advantages to the Beaglebone. I am planning on looking at ways to use it for
DMR/DStar/Fusion etc. May also play around with SDR. For the price, I may try to
get another.<o:p></o:p></P>
