    Thanks.

    Been too busy building my pi Pico oil level sensor, and oddly, didn't
    need to ask any questions.

    It is worthy of note that it carried on working with failing batteries
    down to about 3.6V (Vsys) and at which point it was reporting a -93dBm
    wifi signal...

    Nope. It is just that my current Pis are all running the way they are
    supposed to without any problems and I haven't got a Pi5 yet because I
    do not have any use for it.

    Not bad. I remember watching on television when NASA's Surveyor probe
    made the first soft landing on the moon; they mentioned a signal strength
    of -125dBm.
