<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div><span>I think the Raspberry Pi along with a small TNC such as the new TNC-Pi, TT4, or Tracker2 will be about as low power as you can get. Needing the Igate function ups the power demands. Since the Pi runs Linux which is a live OS I think you will need a small battery backup of some sort to prevent OS corruption in the event of a power failure. I have a setup ready to go as soon as I figure out how to intergrate my weather station into the mix.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Max</span></div> <div style="font-family: Courier New, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <div style="margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204,
