OK, so this old radio amateur, with pretty much no SW skills at all, am going to try to get hooked up. Receiver, LNA and antenna have all arrived.
On the outernet.is/rpi/ page, I read that “Outernet works with both a B+ and a 2B, though a 2B is preferred.”
I do have both a B+ and a 2B, but my son really wants the newer one… What would be the drawbacks of using the older version in my Outernet setup?
Would you happen to have a Pi 3? That is pretty much turnkey with our firmware. I haven’t used a Pi 2 at all, so I can’t comment from direct experience. We do have some docs that should be useful:

Hi Syed. No, I don’t have the Pi 3.
But now it appears as if the all the instructions and links to ORx images for the Raspberry B+ and 2B from outernet.is/rpi/ has been removed?
This is getting weird…
The Raspberry Pi page is old. I was removing old pages yesterday, so it was one of the ones I disabled. It’s back up now temporarily if you want to compare it to the link Syed sent, but it’s not relevant to the L-Band signal. No weirdness intended 
Thanks, Rachel.
Reckon I should have checked up better on the project status before I ordered the hardware. But perhaps I’ll find other uses for at least the antenna and the receiver. And heck - it’s been a while since I fiddled with a band pass filter… 
No worries.
To be fair it was very quietly dropped. The references to Ku band just went into the memory hole, Lighthouses disappeared from the online store.
It gradually became clear through @Syed s comments here it had all been switched off. I realise stuff changes, but personally I don’t think it was well handled from a PR point of view. At least say to people; sorry we got you to spend £100 on a brick.
Cheers, Sam. QSL.
But at 51 a man gots to pick his battles…
Out.
