I'm not sure where to start looking for commercial solutions, if there are any at all. I also have been wondering, given the abundance of R-PI hardware, if a R-PI and display would be enough to run something like YACC. A simple RX and antenna would be enough, and the package could be small enough to occupy little of the precious space in the vehicle and not pose a safety issue. Even nicer if it could be on the dash.</div><div><br></div><div>So, what do you folks know? How would you approach such a requirement?</div><div><br></div><div>Chuck</div><div>NA6BR</div></div>
