Hi dormani
We should concentrate in this issue. If the RX units freezes, it will not be able to communicate.
It freezes only when you connect it to the PI, or it also freezes when you connect it to your PC?
Some time ago, one user (vk2kzo) has reported a similar problem, and why it happens remains a mystery. He has sent their RX board back to me, and I sent him a fully tested RX board. The result: The board he sent to me is working perfectly, and the one I sent to him, also freezes as soon as he connects it by USB.
Edited 20-09-2015: Regarding the info above, today I received an PM from vk2kzo tell me that their RX unit is now working perfectely.
I hope that is not what is happening with you. If possible, test the RX unit with different PC's, and with different power supplies, check if it freezes or when it freezes, and please report back.
My suspect is that this issue is somewhat related to the power supplies, but so far I've never been able to reproduce this behaviour.
In your Cumulus.ini, you should also change the ComportName
