The radio is mostly for sideband. I think some have determined a way to implement a side tone for CW. I think the radio is a lot of fun, and is designed to be experimented with. The group is very knowledgeable, and can provide expert help when things are not working like they should. I highly recommend it.

I am new to this group, and the group system here. And I haven't had time to read all of the recent posts since I joined about a week ago. So please excuse it if I am not doing things according to protocol.
I have a question. I have my general class ticket. But no budget to speak of. Considering getting the bitx40, as I like the idea of hand assembled parts, and that getting the kit supports women in India who would have no means of support otherwise.
I am primarily interested in digital qrp on HF. Is this little radio suitable for this or is it only good for hand keyed CW?
