The R820T will work. I was explaining that independent testers have data showing the R820T2 is a better option.
I hope I was clear to others in saying the E4000 has its uses in the lower frequencies (such as APRS), the R820T units are prolific (so many may have one lying around), and this project seems to benefit from the newer R820T2 devices.
I was trying to give some data to those who might be experimenting and to help with choosing the better component hardware.
The reddit user has given links to Amazon for the RPi bundle and others pieces (and may be making money from every purchase). Some of us may already have pieces and are experimenting with what we have. As I identify differences I'm trying to share to help others. We are here to learn and share.
BTW: for anyone trying to use one of the RT5370 based wifi dongles (common with the canbit bundles and used by many vendors) I have built the latest stable code for hostapd with the necessary support. I'm happy to post them somewhere if you're not comfortable doing raspberry Pi builds.
