[arm-allstar] Linux log

Hi Sandy,

Your situation is unusual, particularly since you've had USB port failures 
on 2 different RPi4B boards---with no peripherals attached!

Was the same power supply in use both times?

Also, is there any transmitting antenna nearby? 

Do you run high power on HF?

If you go to a bash shell prompt (admin menu #9) and run: "dmesg"
do you see any warnings (like under-voltage) listed?  For example:


[890066.130525] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005)
[890274.141376] Voltage normalised (0x00000000)

I've only had USB port failures on 2 occasions. First was due to running
high power on HF.  The second time was a direct lightning strike.  I've
never had any other failures, with dozens of RPi4B boards continuously in 
use.


73, David K4FXC
