Re: New zBitx - New User - CW operation


 

I just installed Karl K5KHK's changes that add a Shutdown command to the Menu, as well as include Jody's K3JZD's CW fix. This makes for a very usable CW rig. I also "discovered" how to operate from a terminal, and the UI works much better and smoother from there; I presume this is essentially the sBitx app.
?
Macros: I have yet to figure out how to add or change the selected macro, either from the standalone rig or even from within the terminal app. Probably just need to do some digging on this, but I don't see a "macro" dropdown option anywhere.
?
TUNE: I note that there is a TUNE feature on the external display. It would be awesome to have this somewhere on the zBitx display for use with antenna tuners. 2TONE could be used but is several button presses involved for what could be a relatively frequently used feature, especially when running with a mag loop which requires nearly constant retuning.
?
I also added a slightly larger knob to the rig. Will eventually get one printed like I've seen somewhere, similar to a shorter G90 knob.
?
Am going to be looking for heatsink ideas that are relatively compact and that work.
?
I've added a number of feature requests to the GitHub repo.
?
One of the main reasons I bought this rig was to learn. It's already been fun to explore some of the code and have to learn how to use GitHub/git.
