I finally had time to package up my OP25 system onto a ready-to-run
image for an RPi3. This is based on the full Raspbian Stretch OS with
GUI, so it's a 1.3 GB download.
It's at http://febo.com/pages/os_images, along with a couple of other
RPi images (one for an NTP time server, another that makes a bunch of
RTL-SDR dongles look like a single Hermes HPSDR receiver).
After downloading, unzip the file (it'll be a bit over 4GB) and write to
an 8GB SD card. Stick the card in your Pi and wait for the desktop to
appear.
This system has Graham's (github.com/boatbod) latest code and if you
happen to live in Montgomery County, Ohio, and have an HDMI monitor with
speakers, you are all set to go. :-) Otherwise, you'll need to make
appropriate edits to the config files and possibly change the sound
settings.
Enjoy!

You're welcome, Tom. I hope it works for those who try it!
And by the way -- At my request, Graham added a few user-friendly
features that I don't think are mentioned in the documentation. In
particular:
* There is an on-screen cheat-sheet to keyboard commands
* In trunk.tsv, lines beginning with "#" are ignored as
comments, so you can have multiple systems and select
by uncommenting
* The whitelist and blacklist files can now be in the same
format as the tag file -- the first field is the TGID and
other (tab separated) fields are ignored. This is *really*
nice because you can now just cut/paste from the tag file
into the whitelist file, and the descriptions let you know
just what you're including/excluding.
* If you are monitoring a site with more than about 20
frequencies, the stock rx.py program crashes. Graham's
code has a hack to address this: just make the terminal
window tall enough to show all the frequency status lines.
My local site has 24 freqs, and this was a life-saver
for me.
