You posted exactly the same question 9 hours ago in General Discussions. I didn’t know the answer then.  You might want to explain what ASL is for those of us who don’t know, although presumably the folks who can answer your question will know.  I’m pretty sure you don’t mean American Sign Language.

Good luck getting an answer.

No silly! Everyone knows that an ASL image is a picture of yourself that you send to anonymous men to indicate your AGE, SEX, and LOCATION!  You probably know it better as a "QSL card" ..

In the absence of anything actually helpful I give you this...

Sorry guys for not giving more information. I'm asking about the ASL 1.01-myGMRS-12.18.3-latest-standard-8GB.img. I have the node number that myGMRS sent me. I've been using Raspberry Pi 4 on GMRSLIVE for my repeater. In the information I have with the image, it mentions Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 so I was wondering will the ASL 1.01-myGMRS-12.18.3-latest-standard-8GB.img works on the Raspberry Pi 4.

Thanks 73

Oh, sorry, but some of the "experts" here have determined, and keep reminding us, that linking of GMRS repeaters is illegal, so we are no longer permitted to speak of GMRSLIVE on this website.

Ok Thanks OffRoader for the update

We hams always have the same answer when we don’t know: Try it!  
Honestly I think it should work.

Will the image run on a Pi 4... NO. 

There is a long discussion thread on here about getting a Pi 4 running on the system.  But it's from long ago when the 4 first came out. 

If you have experience with the Pi, Debian and scripts, I would advise you to go load the available image on a Pi 3 and go dig through the 'repeaterfinder.sh script in the /home/repeater directory and see what it does to the Pi as it runs.  That script loads Asterisk and several other applications that support the connectivity to the system here.  

Once you get a feel for what's going on, and look into what those applications are doing you might be able to figure out what more current versions of those applications need to be loaded that are supported by the Pi 4 platform. 

I can't remember the actual version that's included in the Pi 3 image, but it's not real current.  Some of the stuff called in the script has depreciated as well.  So it may or may NOT work correctly either.  Even on a R-Pi 3
