Sdrberry is a hobby project that as with all Raspberry pi projects need some linux / pi experience to proper function. In this wiki I want to list several tips in solving common problems.

The most easy approach is to install sdrberry on a clean raspberry pi 64 bits Operating system. I use myself a high quality USB stick from samsung, like the FIT Plus 64 GB. These are very reliable compared to SD cards which will fail most of the times. The screen size is optimised for displays of 800x480 with colordepth of 16 colors. This can be changed but need some changes in the source code depending on the display used. Sdrberry need a audio adapter with microphone to operate, most easy is a USB Audio adapter. Most cheap audio adapters work fine. Myself I use a UGREEN USDB audio adapter. If you put your raspberry pi with sdr tranceiver in a metal box, it is wise to use an audio transformer to isolate the microphone input.

Sdrberry uses SoapySDR to connect to the SDR tranceiver you use. If you are using multiple SDR software packages like pihpsdr make sure it also uses SoapySDR or check before using Sdrberry that SoapySDR can use the SDR device. (See page for Radioberry)
