Spurious text on band viewer screen.

I created a new Portsdown SD card today and I get this on the band viewer screen. Apologies for the picture quality.

Hi Brian

What display are you using?

I've never seen this before, and have checked by building a new card this evening and Pluto BandViewer (I take it that is the one) works perfectly.

Is everything exactly standard for a Portsdown, or do you have a keyboard plugged in or something?

I believe the display is the standard 7 inch touchscreen. I didn't build this one myself. I'll check for any identification.

I am using a Pluto.

This is the SD card I built from scratch today while investigating the PicoTuner issue. No keyboards or other displays are connected - just the Ethernet cable and the PicoTuner.

I did have to rotate the display after installation.

Hi Brian,

If it’s the one I put together I usedt the recommended display.

Hi Brian

I can only suggest that you rebuild the card and keep an eye open during the build for any error messages.

Sometimes if one of the archives is down or blocked it can cause corrupt installs.

Please let me know how you get on.

Before opening the case to remove the SD card, I tried doing a full install over the current install to see what would happen. That cured the problem, so something was missed first time, as you say.

I'll take the SD card out and do the job properly from scratch.
