Hi Bo
I have been down that line of thought too. The power connections
are quite stout so
I don't think that is the root of the low power conditions. In
thinking back on it the low
power warnings came about when that small USB stick was plugged
in. So far since I
haven't had that disk plugged in I haven't had the warning or the
reboots. I have also
found that using a micro SD card may not work well, so am looking
at a different stick
in 8GB size. the disk doesn't need to be real big to serve my
purpose, so I think that will
work and a trial to see if the power warning comes back when it
is plugged in and if not
I will keep it in and continue with that.
I really like the small size and light weight of the combination
is good to use with my
FT-817, and small size battery for POTA use. My park of choice is
close and when better
dry weather returns I can try a short activation.

It's all in the tiny wires in the USB power cables!
The charger/supplies put out 5.5v and it's down to the critical
7.0 volts at the pi. I finally found a cable that have a lower
wire number (bigger wires). Tempted to make a good cable soldered
to the board.
