     Do people send computer generated signals over CB ?
     
     That radio model looks great!

     @matthew I think they gave up on it

     I would love to extract the drivers from Gallium and put it inside Devuan

     I have. Not recently though. I should check in on how Gallium is doing. Last I checked, it was running into a time deadline with being based on an older Ubuntu LTS.
     
     Gallium is what I first used when experimenting with Linux on Chromebooks. I've had the best experience with Devuan and the Cinnamon desktop environment.
