Been planning on picking up a G90 so I can use my Gerneral privledges, at least when I'm hiking/camping. Got some vehicle issues that are needed that will be taking the money I'd planned on using for that radio, so likely no HF for me, at least for a while.

Hydrogen accelerates at 45 miles per hour.The weight of the balloon itself must me counter balanced with the lifting energy (hydrogen) and the weight of the antenna wire per foot times 4 to keep a constant upward force to counterweight /counterbalance any wind forces which can tip the balloon off Zeinth axis .( Plumb). A good drone is way more controllable and stable. But this adds another b7nch of electro magnetic fields interfering with the output of the antenna. 100 Watts will fry the electronics in the drones circuitry. So it's a (dead )issue 😂.

RASPBERRY pi's are in short supply up here in western Alberta. But there are different AIO units out there .the Orange Pi has many more features and increased memory options. I like the processor but Qualcomm has got the bulk of that cpu. That M1 is quite a remarkable thing. And the Mali GPU as well . I looked ahead of the time frame but was late to the party back 2020,but I managed to snag the Raspberry pi 400 ( computer in the keyboard ) .I just don't know if it will be adequate.

[@kingdick4508]

No sir… No APRS on either of them.
