Simpler and less efficient?was would be to solder some 6A10 rectifier diodes in series till you get the voltage down to what you need. I have used this in the past and it works. I am sure there are better options out there, but if you have diodes and time, this will work. A LM317 and a simple circuit around?it would probably be better, but most likey?cost more too. A bag of the 6A10 diodes are one 6 or 7$ on Amazon...

Hello, we haven't received any zBitx yet and I'm already thinking about modifying something. I don't really like the fact that it goes to a maximum of 9v, and I would like to know how to modify the device to make it work at 13,8vdc like the rest of the radio devices that most of us have. I've looked at some components in the sBitx schematic and I think they are basically the same. So, what changes? I don't want to get more power (it wouldn't be bad to get 20w ;-) ) but I want to be able to have access to all the power sources I have.
thanks... I'm anxiously awaiting my shipment from India...
