<br>
Many thanks for your helpful suggestions.<br>
<br>
The primary reason for moving my node to new platform was to bring DX <br>
Spider code up to latest release as per e-mail which came out around CQ <br>
WW. My node was on that black list.<br>
<br>
For some reason my git -pull attempt failed to update DX Spider and I am <br>
sure it was an operator error. Otherwise, the older product has <br>
been *very* stable and if it was not for periodic power outages, the <br>
node would have run forever. Never got around to invest in a UPS.<br>
<br>
I will go with a 64Gb SD card and take my chances. I will supplement <br>
it with log2ram as VA3MW indicated earlier. After 5 years of trouble <br>
free service, it is time to bring in new Rpi hardware, Raspbian OS and <br>
latest DX Spider code. I just want to carry over my historical spots <br>
and user data.<br>
<br>
Thanks and 73<br>
<br>
Nick VE3EY-7<br>
