Re: OpenWebRx, Airspy r2, Raspberry Pi 4
I have recently switched to using an Intel NUC i5.
When compared to the price of a new R-Pi 5, there was no contest and the performance is much better. The NUC is around twice the physical size of a cased R-Pi and about half the price of a R-Pi5 4Gb.
A good used NUC i5 (or i3) can be had on the famous auction site for not too much money.
If you shop wisely, you can get one with 4 or 8Gb RAM and a 120Gb SSD, most are without a PSU, but a suitable laptop PSU will work fine (they will run from 12v - 19v).
I struck lucky and got a 'barebones' NUC5i5 for under £20 (20GBP) delivered as I had a suitable 4Gb stick of RAM, 120Gb SSD and PSU from a dead laptop - winner!
