¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRunning with a non-RPi device in an sBitx introduces an additional variable if/when you have problems with the radio.We are not (yet) at the point where we can drop an RPi 5 in an sBitx, there are OS differences and thermal differences as well. These issues will likely be overcome soon, but I don't think we're there yet. If contemplating upgrading an sBitx that already has an RPi 4 2 gig in it, you may benefit from an upgrade to a 4 gig RPi 4, but if you're going to swap out the current RPi 2 gig, I'd encourage you to invest another $20 and upgrade to an 8 Gig RPi 4, assuming the $20 price difference isn't an issue for you (but if you're price-sensitive, why are you upgrading?). Back during and after Covid for a while it was hard to find an RPi for reasonable prices, now the market has normalized, and my local retailer has RPi 4 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gig models as well as RPi 5 4 and 8 Gig models in stock at list prices (Microcenter, specifically their Dallas store), so I'm hard-pressed to justify upgrading to anything other than 8 Gog RPi 4 if you plan to upgrade. Something made you consider upgrading the RPi 4 in your radio, what was the motivation, and would more memory help address the issue? In my opinion the cost isn't an issue, assuming you can find a use for the removed RPi 4 2 Gig... Ken, N2VIP On Apr 3, 2024, at 11:26, david todd via groups.io <ac9xh@...> wrote:
