80Mhz bandwidth spectrogram on LimeSDR-mini

i wanted to say this did work on my raspberry pi 3b running raspberry pi os 2020-08-20-raspios-buster-armhf.zip

i do have a problem with my board appears with that mcu error 5 Rx calibration.

here is my output after i did a clean install then updated and then installed spectrogram

it does appear to be running ok but what about that error?
i wish i could get ‘spectrogram --server_only’ to work over wifi/lan from rpi3b to my laptops running ubuntu amd64 desktop 18.04/20.4 but no luck so far.
good to see it does work straight out the box with rpi3b and latest raspberry os as of today.
just keep limesdr-mini cool. mine was running at 26C but i have big heat sink and a house fan on it :slight_smile:
