today an usb hub pair (4-5) on one of my gekko hubs died and the two ports have no voltage anymore Tongue
on each of the two ports 1 gekkosience compac f (580mhz) stick and the corresponding fan were connected Undecided

I've had the same experience twice already..  seems to happen when the sticks are running at 500+ mhz.

The usb port just goes dead but the stick will keep working fine in a different port. I assume it has something to do with the amperage. I keep them around 425-475 Mhz now and they seem to be happier with that
Remember, on the old hubs the current limit per-pair of ports is 6A and each pair used their own (6A) regulator. My F running at 575 pulls 2.9-3A so only one per port pair. If you were running just 1 stick *something* overloaded that regulator feeding the ports...

since one of my two usb hubs is now not completely functional and i can therefore not continue to use my compac f stick i wanted to ask the round if the new version of the gekko usb hubs are available for purchase and if so, with which distributors?
