@@temporarilyoffline I have been wanting to create a battery powered headless server that can be used for various activities while on the go. Recently saw a PCB design for an SD card dev board. I think it would be interesting to redesign with rigid-flex, and make it into an SDCard switcher all built into the case. And with the button on the new one and the clock battery. Shoot just shut down, hit the SD switcher button, and start from a different card. I have lots of cards that are purpose built with more things on way. I don't know, the ideas are endless. CaHR has given me lots of beacon, DMR, and other radio ideas. You are a Linux guy, what are you thinking of doing? But for the old one...thinking PiStar. Thanks for those vides by the way.
@@temporarilyoffline Of all the things they choose to delete, they could have at least left the holes on the circuit board 🙄 in case we wanted to solder our own in. One of these days i want to hire you to come help configure a bunch of stuff in my shack.
I guess what I want to know is there will be enough for people to actually buy them or if there will only be a handful that will sell out in 10 minutes and no more available for 2 months.
Its starting with Panasonic Coin Cells with JST connectors - but no final specs yet. The JST means you can put any battery on it you want that meets the specs... I doubt its rechargeable, but that would be nice... just too small of a footprint.
I used an old Pi 3 as shack pc to run CQRlog, Wsjtx and a few other programs and it ran fine, so I imagine this Pi 5 would be awsome. Hopefully I can get my hands on one (or two) when they hit the market.
In ham radio alone there are about 1000 applications. I use it for APRS, FT8, Logging and a few others. Check out "73 Linux" for a long list of things.
According to other sources pricing will start at $60 for 4G model and $80 for 8G model.
8G all the way! go big or go home. Either way $80 is a fantastic price for a "computer"

My last two bare bones Dell i7 computers were less than $100 so the prices are converging. Its now more of form factor.
GLORIOUS!!! Great coverage of the specs and options!!!
Thanks Dewayne!
Looking forward to these hitting the self. Will have to rework my G90 go box.
Yeah, you know me and go-boxes... prolly gonna have to finish up the one I've been dreaming of...
Got mine on the way. I have loved this since the beginning. With the new one on the way, means my the last gen pi will be something new. Can't wait.
Any plans?

I like how the 5 is cheaper than the 4 right now.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on one.
Me Too! I wonder how far of a drive it is to MicroCenter from here...
@@temporarilyoffline Micro Center is 20 minutes away from me. Let me know if you want me to grab you some and ship to you (when available).
@@temporarilyofflineStill in Livingston? There is a Microcenter in Houston.
@@LeeMcc_KI5YPR 1.5 hrs away - other side of town. ( I checked)
@@temporarilyoffline Son, this is Texas. 90 minutes is like driving to the corner store.
Looks awesome! I’m totally onboard as long it isn’t a huge bump in price and can still run doom. 😂😂😂
Supposed to be cheaper than the 4 is what I'm hearing... but 4's MSRP and 4's street value are a different story...
I thought they said $5 more than the 4?
You know how pre-release "speculation" is... @@LeeMcc_KI5YPR
Thanks great info bro!
You bet!
How fast will they sell out on the 23rd is the question...
INSTANTLY!
Can't wait to get mine in early 2029. It's going to be cool.
Nice! 🤣
No audio jack is a deal killer
I always hated no audio IN... now my radios use USB sound cards built in, so its not as big of a problem... but still a problem.

Where are you located? I'm a travellin ham now! @@KA4UPW
They had me at PCIE hats.
Yep! I'm running am SSD via USB on my 4... faster, but PCI is better.
That looks like they retooled to get around chip shortages and made a nice upgrade.
I'm happy with the upgrades!
Cool!
Agreed!
I found a site that has them for pre-order. Hopefully I can get my hands on one on the 23rd.
Good Hunting!
I ordered mine..... These will go fast.....
Yes they will
This is cool and all, but will anyone be able to get them? Or will the raspberry peopledrag their feet on making them?
They are sayint 10/23 at Microcenter
I guess what I want to know is there will be enough for people to actually buy them or if there will only be a handful that will sell out in 10 minutes and no more available for 2 months.
Probably a little of both - might need to camp out in the parking lot or pre-order! @@stevet7522
@@temporarilyoffline lol. The closest microcenter is 4 hours away.
It's 5V at 5A PD.😢
Dual 4k streaming ain't good but the rest looks great. I'm not sure if deleting the 3.5mm jack was a good idea, though. :/
Ok, thanks
Have you heard what types of RTC Batteries will work and does the port recharge them?

Same here. I used a Pi3 for a long time!
I can hardly wait for it to be unavailable. 🙄 I'll wait for Jasons review.
Short Jason or Smart Jason?
73 linux Jason. @@temporarilyoffline
Yep, Smart Jason 🤣
Wonder if I can brick it like I did my pi4
I believe in you!🤣
First! :)
First = Best!
What can you do with it?

pi5, another PI you cant buy as they are out of stock!!
I hope not.
