You sent us a link to an article reviewing SD cards. <br>> In the review the author says: San Disk Ultra - DO NOT BUY.<br>> And then you tell us that one is the recommended one?<br>> <br>> 73, Ken<br>> KE2N<br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.

That would be<br>> when you are initially writing the image to the card, a one time operation.<br>> In actual use the speed of the card has little impact as Linux and Asterisk<br>> Allstar are run from memory once booted and there is only occasional reads<br>> from the SD card and rarely writes. Writes are made to a memory tmp file<br>> system. With a faster card you may notice a difference in boot speed but<br>> again booting is a one time operation that would rarely happen in a 24/7 run<br>> system.<br>> The generally recommend card is still the 8 or 16GB SanDisk Ultra.<br>> <br>> 73 Doug<br>> WA3DSP<br>> http://www.crompton.com/hamradio<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br></div> </div></body>
