One problem with ham radio these days is that most hams live where you can’t put a big old antenna up due to city laws and homeowner covenants. If you’re just working local stations on VHF or UHF, that might not be a big problem. But for HF usage, using a low profile antenna is a big deal. However, most modern radios can operate remotely. Well-known ham radio company MFJ now has the RigPi Station Server and [Ham Radio DX] has an early version and did a review.
The review is of the MFJ-1234 RigPi Station Server but you could also build one yourself although the box may not be quite as good and it will be a lot more effort. The MFJ one is nicely packaged with the Raspberry Pi inside and all ready to go but does cost $300.
