Same issues here,?with the pin mounted RTC in the v3 I have. ?In fact the RTC was mostly unseated during?shipping from HF Signals to me.?

Indeed, my main "production" sbitx is still on the Pi4 running Debian 11. But I'm in the process of migrating to the Pi 5 and Debian 12. Just realized we don't need the RTC in the sBitx also... as the Pi 5 comes with it (I just bought the battery case). Strangely enough, it seems we can use a rechargeable battery on the Pi 5, so it will recharge the RTC battery when on!
That's good news.? I'm not a fan of the RTC because it isn't rigidly mounted and I use my sbitx for pota and it gets bounced around a lot.
Let us know if/when you have some experience with the Pi 5 inside the sbitx enclosure and can comment on any power or cooling issues.
