Hi @EASmarine.ca -

I’d expect it to work, but only with lots of fiddling, and potentially modifying the BlueBoat with the appropriate radio hardware! [See this recent similar thread.](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/blueboat-link-with-a-siyi-mk-32-hm30-has-anyone-tried-this/23417)If you’re looking for a handheld, a Lenovo Legion or Steamdeck work well as [detailed in this guide!](https://bluerobotics.com/learn/using-a-handheld-pc-to-control-the-bluerov2/)
