Thanks for checking out the details of my Mobilnkd modem, corey!
My Mobilnkd board is the PCB and enclosure only version, which connects via USB (no Bluetooth) but, in most applications, I've found USB to be more reliable with fewer hassles than Bluetooth! The factory-built version has not been available for a long time, due to supply chain chip problems, I think. I had a very tough time finding all the parts for my PCB and ended up buying from both Digikey and Allied to find all the parts (with some substitutions even), as I recall.
Here are few more details about my Pinebook Pro running Pat and ardopc for anyone in the group who might need it. (Please contact me for additional details and associated weblinks, if needed.):
I usually run Manjaro on my Pinebook Pro (/ mounted on my NVMe SSD) but Manjaro has some ALSA bugs. With ardopc, I can't get a softvol control to work right .asoundrc file in order to increase the ardopc level to the recommended +/20,000 level or so using alsamixer. I already have the AF output from my IC-7100 turned up all the way (for higher ardopc capture levels), but ardopc reports somewhat low levels without a softvol control (but can still often work okay without it). So the bottom line is ardopc works with Manjaro, unless a softvol control is defined in .asoundrc and then ardopc will fail to launch, due to an ALSA error.
With Manjaro, another ALSA bug requires me to run the ham application, "aldo" (a CW training ap) as sudo. I have not found that a typical and straightforward fix of just changing group memberships works either, and Mnjaro is the only Linux system (of many) I've used the exhibits this ALSA bug when running aldo.
I have been unable to find discussions of either of these ALSA bugs in any of the online forums that I've searched and I'll probably file a bug report on the ALSA project site.
On the other hand, Armbian works perfectly, with respect to both of the above ALSA bugs, when run on my Pinebook Pro from an SD card. (The PBP's micro SD card slot is in the U-boot order, but Armbian might require a different U-boot version to be installed to the SD card or the eMMC memory.) I'm running the latest Jammy stable version of Armbian.
Unfortunately, for the last year or so, Armbian has not run reliably from anything BUT the SD card. It will not boot and run with / mounted on eMMC or NVMe memory), because initramfs fails to find the UUID for these devices. There are many posts in the Armbian forum about the problem, but no easy fix, that I've found. The PBP does run Armbian very well from an SD card though.
In summary, my experiences with the Pinebook Pro and Pat with ardopc:
ardopc works pretty well on Manjaro but you don't get a softvol control in alsamixer.
ardopc works great on Armbian but you don't get to run from anything but an SD card. (Get a good one, as prescribed on the Armbian howto.)
Hope this helps others.
