Jack, why don’t you measure the audio level going into the first mixer using each of the modes, so that you would at least figure out which side of the system isn’t producing enough signal.?
It is likely that you’ll find the audio is severely depressed in the mode that is only getting three watts. ? Then you will know that the problem is in the raspberry pi coding (or not)

?After some time working with it, I can use the WSJT-X with the sBitx in DIGITAL mode at about 3 watts. I use dual monitors. I have made 2 contacts. The system is unstable, though. The DSI sbitx screen unpredictably freezes requiring a cmd line search for the sbitx process and termination with a kill command. In other cases the web link to the sbitx loses rig control, for example changing from 20 meters to 15 meters shows on the web interface but the real frequency won't change unless it's changed via the DSI touchcreen with a finger or a USB mouse. At other times the WSJT-X loses its rig control link unexpectedly (button goes from green to red, and frequency reads 000) and at other times the WSJT-X will not consistently start with rig control at all, although audio and decoding usually works. It seems as though a hard reboot of the entire rig is the best way to get WSJT-X to start properly with rig control, but sometimes that doesn't work either.
Has anyone got theirs to work in a stable fashion?
Thanks,
