Re: sBitX-V3, what is the performance, support, price and weight?

Power is adjustable. I have operated my v2 for 6 months or so. No operation issues. I run the digital modes for weeks at a time 24-/7 Power reduced to about 5watts with a small hf amp to bring it to around 40watts when needed.? WJST-X,? WSJT-Z?? GRIDTRACKER For voice, I changed to a better condenser mic and the issues were cleared, with good reports. My overall experience has been very good performance. I have a pi4 with 4gig mem Reasonably priced.. I am looking at purchasing a second one. The board kit only. From what I seen, yes there are issues, however, it is more of a experimental radio at this stage and each issue is being corrected. The sensitivity of the tx power transistors to be easily destroyed has been an issue but each revision? has made it better, hopefully some more hardware or software revisions? will? eliminate this completely. I am looking forward to the stage when the unit? can run ssb completely remote thru a browser and not thru a separate remote pgm. Over time? hopefully we will see more control buttons / options. I see many additional developers? and am greatful, they are willing to share? their expertise. Support is always an issue with a developing product , it could certainly be better and can be very frustrating. Hopefully, as an experimental rig, we will see? better schematics,? with test points, voltages, current readings,? etc. This will come with time. Performance 8 Price 7 Support 5 Joe VE1BWV?
