Hi...
Can you please tell me if the Zbitx uses the Pi Zero W or 2W?
If the W, then could I replace it with the more modern 2W, if the
2W is pin and functionality [backward]upgradable.
Thank you,
Don in Austin.

The USB connections the
zBitx has are incidental to the Pi Zero, so they are not
USB-C PD compliant.
USB-C PD would
have required Farhan to design the circuit and add it to
the main board, and as we will recall, the goal of the
zBitx was simplicity.

Is
the USB port meant to be for data alone? With the
USB-C PD (),
powering through USB would have been a good?idea.
One will have many options like power banks and
chargers already at home.

It seems the usb ports are
accessible, there is a warning to not try and
power the radio thru the usb ports.

On
the same lines, is there a usb port? I
presume there is. In the description
it says that you can add an external
monitor so we know there is a hdmi
port, I would presume.
