I already downloaded a new image and updated the firmware display firmware to 1.06.

I can log into zbitx using rigctl -r and change the vfo frequency but I eventully get a timeout message from rigctl and zbitx no longer accepts any commands at that point. If I shutdown the zbitx panel and run the start.sh? script, I can reconnect; eventually the connection times out again.

So hamlib on the zbitx is not stable in my opinion from what I am seeing.

A question for the techies.

I know that I can install the current hamlib-4.6.2.

How do I rebuild the sbitx application excluding the current hamlib.c & hamlib.h that come with the git main repository pull and use hamlib-4.6.2 that I will install?

Are there any command line options like with make and cmake to point to the new hamlib directory instead of using what is in the sbitx directory?

Hmm? all looks good.?

I would download a new micro SD image.

Then only do ./update for the pi and then do the screen.

I would not do upgrade,?

This would make your image the same as mine.

Also you would be able to see if you get the same ham library error etc.

How about a screen shot

Of your sbitx running ft8 in digi mode

Then a screen shot of your wsjtx settings

Doesn't work for me.

?Did firmware upgrade and went back to the installed pi image and with no updates to raspian

I get the same results. No transmit.

Hamlib error: Communication timeout.

If I hold down the tune button, the zbitx restarts.

I've tried all the suggestions and setting from various emails on how to get wsjtx to transmit on my zbitx.

None of them work for me. Receive works just fine but when I do the "check cat" button nothing happens when I hit tune wsjtx goes thru the transmit motions. Same is true if I hit "auto cq". Wsjtx acts like it is transmitting but is not actually putting the zbitx into transmit.

I am getting hamlib protocol errors.

CAT is kinda working as I can change bands.

I am also seeing rigctl timeout errors if I use rigctl to connect to the zbitx.

Is it just? me or does anyone else have these issues.

FYI, I browsed the hamlib.c file and there is a comment in there about it being receive only.

Much help? is needed here.
