Swapped my RPi3 for a pi0W and destroyed my range! [SOLVED]

took some minutes to find usb-micro-male to usb-a-female cable for dongle and until mlat sync.
both ran in parallel behind minicircuits splitter and uputronics lna/filter using the same jetvision antenna and two cheap/lightblue nooelec standard dongles.

result pi-zero w:

  • total aircraft 253
  • with position 194
  • messages/sec 1,313
  • cpu-load 66.4% (dump/mlat/piaware/faup) overall load 56.4%

result pi2:

  • total aircraft 249
  • with position 194
  • messages/sec 1,352
  • cpu-load 49.7% (dump/mlat/piaware/faup) overall load 9.6%

cheers
