Sounds good, Ray.  I think 15 days was the longest I ever went with Dixprs
before everything froze.  I got 20 days out of Xastir before losing the
AX25 port.  It's hard for me to imagine that the power supply is the root
cause if I can go 15-20 days before anything bad happens.  Everything is on
a fairly stout UPS as well. The failure mode was different when running
Xastir - it may be related to the USB to serial adapter.  It's an FTDI, so
it should be fairly stable.

APRX has been running for 5 days now on the same platform.  Given it's the
smallest of the programs, I'm thinking it might fare the best on a Pi, but
we'll see.
