Have u tried dabbling with the software past the beginning? edit the lines u dont like regarding ft8 timing and such. take notes, and see the results. then if it doesnt work, at least u have ur notes on what u did. Sometimes a skyscraper needs to be gutted from the bottom up instead of the top down.I have found many solutions just printing the program out , reading the code several times and then it shows like a beacon.

?

Personally if i were u , i would go thru the code, and see if there isnt an anomoly on ur version of firmware. might have had a problem when originally loaded? Sometimes it happens. Also Sometimes if the computer side isnt seeing a correct time, you wont make any QSOs either. I actually had this problem with FT8. Also might not be relevent but what ft8 software are u using? i found wsjtx buggy for me .I use jtdx, and have never had any issues with it.

?

Another thing is try to get ahold of a new updated software for ur SD Card. problem seems to be on the SD card since u are having problems with ft8. Just my opinion.

?

Also try rebooting the Sbitx, replace the current SD card with a new one. might be corrupted?

?

?

just trying to shoot some suggestions out.

?

Dont give up, its running but with a small problem. a setting, time coordination, reloaded software on SD card, or new SD card,. Something probably simple.
