I parted with US$178 to order my zBitx in December, almost four months ago, and I am not in favour of a radical redesign. I believe the minimum possible hardware change (as described by the author) should be done to maintain the promised? functionality and the radio should be shipped as soon as possible. I understand that people would like a different radio, perhaps a zBitX 2.0, but I want to take my zBitx to SOTA summits as soon as reasonably possible...
