Ok just tried again using a 50cm JuiceBitz and we have a happy throttled 0x0.....So I'm guessing again but the current draw on a Pi3 B and SDR's is too much now for a 1 metre long cable and Anker Battery combination....Again I would imagine if the battery eliminator devices (cigarette lighter adapter, Charge4 device) are dishing out slightly higher voltage and sustaining over 2.1a the 1 metre cable might still work.....

Interesting comments Gentlemen....all taken on board. The only variation I have, I believe is an external gps glued to the top of the case but I’m sure that wouldn’t draw more current than the standard one. I will do some more investigations today. And let you know
Lee I couldn’t decipher that link you sent me referring to the power codes....
What is the difference between 0x0 and 0x50005 and 0x50000

Tried multiple JuicyBitz cables...and yes they are the 1 metre ones.....
Just tried it on a wall outlet with USB and now the throttling is 0X0

Will have to sacrifice my home automation RPi, that has a 30cm on it....

Interesting its still throttled with just one SDR low power.....its a v2 by the way....with the blue board.....
I will run some voltage and current consumption diagnostics...I have tried a brand new charged Anker battery with no difference....
Looks like the setup when its settled down is drawing about 0.9A with both SDR's connected not allowing for peaks....but the voltage is dropping down to 4.7v which I guess is the issue....

Hi Lee
Can you tell me a bit more about the throttling procedure.....Does the display throttling only remain while there is an under power condition..... I have just noticed I also have this condition albeit with the twin SDR's (low power), a juicebitz 20 AWG cable......and anker 20000mAH battery.....I have also run it from a known 2.4a mains power supply and can't remove the condition....what effect does it have on the processor...? And once triggered does it remain on the home page or disappear once the correct voltage is reestablished.
Kind regards
Brinsley

Could I also put in the popular request to enable the onboard bluetooth on the pi3 for audio transmission....I have a separate bluetooth transmitter on the 3.5mm socket at the moment but everytime I go to use it, the battery is flat...!!! Grrr....On board bluetooth would be a very nice upgrade....!!!

Thank you.....

I'm in the South East......There are quite a few units dotted around.....Southend has some......as does North Weald that I know of........It's an evolving community.....
I pick up all the ADSB jets from Southend with ease.....as I also do from Mode S and Charlie

I am sure with a little jiggle and an additional RTL receiver.....and your magic we can achieve this fairly easily.....My only worry we will then be running out of USB ports as some already use an FTDi for ADSB OUT...maybe a transition to the PI 3 with built in WiFi is the next step with a beefed up PSU

The radar screen on Skydemon on mode c,s alerting has also been fixed. In the previous version on bearingless targets when the detection rings went red or yellow the radar screen would go blank and collapse.

If you have updated to latest software version of PilotAware there is an issue....refer to this thread

http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,949.0.html

If you don't want to update just yet to the patched fix you can goto to your wifi settings on the ipad and click on the (i) next to the PilotAware connection and copy the details from the DHCP address over to the static tab but omit the DNS details......
If you are using the latest Skydemon (3.8.2.77) via the PilotAware connection instead of Flarm this won't work and you will have to use the patch from Lee

Thanks Lee...The patch is great....works with the new direct PilotAware tab connection on SkyDemon a treat with or without 3g/4g connectivity...

Is it me or does the latest kernel version 4.4.34 take twice as long to boot now....??
