Raspberry Pi zero 2W the Best Pi for Ham Radio digital modes?

There are many other videos that focus on the Raspberry Pi zero-2W performance. I focus on what is for me, a key application.

This video demonstrates how easy it is to configure hardware and software to connect the new small Raspberry Pi zero-2W to an ICOM IC-705 transceiver and successfully run digital modes such as FT8, RTTY and PSK etc.

The video also showcases the Pi Script 'Build-a-Pi' written by Jason, KM4ACK who has done a brilliant job for the Amateur Radio community.

After connecting and configuring the Pi zero-2W to the ICOM IC-705, an FT-8 contact is made with the IC-705 running 5 watts to a short dipole antenna on 40M.

The main aim of this video to demonstrate how fast, effective and inexpensive this new quad-core £11 Raspberry Pi single board computer is for digital mode operating.

This is a great opportunity for folks who haven't dipped their toes into the digital mode experience.
If you have a smart phone, you can download a VNC and log onto your Pi zero-2 running Build-a-Pi. You don't even need a PC.

The video is a bit longer than my usual presentations. (However, it runs for less than 20 minutes.)
