TAPR WSPR QRP TX Shield And WsprryPi Installation

I purchased a TX Shield from the TAPR booth in Xenia, Oh at the Hamvention. When I got home I installed the TX Shield on my Raspberry Pi 3 and then installed WsprryPi. This is very simple to do and fun to experiment with.

In this video, the TX Shield installation, WsprryPi installation, antenna connection and then the test. See the PDF:

I have had a few problems with it. In the very beginning it locked up after it started the initial transmission. I made a fresh install of Raspbian and did the updates and it runs smooth now.
However, it still kills the WIFI on my Raspberry Pi 3 when I transmit. Since I'm using it headless, this is a problem. The workaround is to use a monitor, keyboard and mouse or to use an ethernet connection. I have ordered a touchscreen for the RPi3 and that should be a good combo to.

I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my YouTube channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.
