I have one question for you. Doesn't Xastir run slow on the Pi as compared

I set up xastir on the Pi some time back as proof of concept. The Pi
was running headless and I used Linux remote desktop to access the Pi
and to run it in a gui. I used 1:25 topographic maps which was a
tough test of capability and although the maps were painfully slow to

Kinda keeping one eye on the thread here. Been powering my pi via
cigarette lighter adapter (cell phone charger) via an old Radio Shack
12VDC 3A power supply circa mid 80's. Current load is a PiTNC, USB to

Software is stock wheezy install as well as the AX25
Based on that I will go buy a pi as I have same supply

Have you by any chance measured the supply voltage at the input to the

I think you were spot on with achieving greater than 5.0 volts as you

Ray and all,
Here is an update on my Raspberry Pi operation. I have completed 26 days
of continuous IGate operation using APRX with no issues.
Previously with the same hardware, OS, and ax25 networking configuration, I

club funded project so I did not try Xastir on it but so far it has

Lee,
As you say our installations were fairly similar. One can only speculate
on the reliability situation.
I'm just minutes away from 14 days uptime and that's a record for the Pi

Dixprs is using around 33% of the cpu and system load is around

Thanks Ray. My unstable setup was very similar to yours - Dixprs as the

a powered USB hub for the USB to serial adapter, USB enclosure with IDE
