As many of you know I have been having some problems getting my stratus to load. I have a duplicate system which shows the same signs. When I look at the SD card the Boot file and the IMG file are there and the data size is was it should be. What I noticed is that the IMG file is grayed out. Is this a normal indication is the question. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Larry

Well I flew last Saturday with my ADS-B in set up. This time running the $2.49 ADS-B Pro app for Android. I ran the SDR (software defined radio USB module) from the tablet that wasn't fully charged to start (around 85%), and turned the screen intensity to full and left it always on and in a little over an hour I was down to 34% battery. It seemed to work great. Attached are screen shots of the Avare Map (note I am southeast of Chicago), the screen of the frames activity at one point during the flight and a picture of my set up showing antenna duct taped to the back of the passenger seat, the SDR, a OTG cable (with extra power in cord/connector that I didn't use) and my Samsung tablet. Landed with about 20% tablet battery left after a 1.7 hour flight, but when the tablet battery got to 34% I started blanking the tablet screen to see if the tablets battery would drain at a slower rate (still SDR powered) and indeed the battery didn't drain nearly as fast (still I liked having the screen on all the time).
I turned on the Avare option to display ADS-B weather, but there wasn't any in the 3 state area (which made it a great day to fly, but not a good day to show how the weather appears; Avare's app on Google shows how weather is displayed).
I plan on making a better antenna, specific for the ground base 978MHz reception (cable to make my antenna is coming from China) and will probably mount the antenna behind the passenger seat. Also am working on a simple cable solution to power both the tablet and SDR in flight (the Y cable I got supplies power to the SDR and not the tablet).
I just started working on a holder for the tablet and SDR which will utilize one of my RAM mounts (back up hand held radio is going to move somewhere else).
After this becomes more permanent a set up, I am wondering if I will need my Garmin 396 GPS anymore. I think I can get the functions and information that I use the 396 for, from the Avare app as it uses the tablet's GPS.
Best regards,
Ronko

I’ve attached a screen shot of my Stratux SD card, a known working install.

I’m guessing your “xxx.img” files are grayed out because you don’t have a program installed on the machine to open that file type. When I select the “xxx.img” files it automatically launches my disk builder.

I am completely out of ideas. I am going to put it on the shelf for now. Maybe something will turn up later. Thanks for all the help from the group. I guess thats the way it goes sometimes. Cheers, Larry N853LW J250 Moses Lake, Washington
