As Farhan said when introducing the v6, the circuitry is the same as the v5 except for the display.
And the main board now has connectors right on the board, so you hardly even have to know how to solder.
Otherwise same as the v5, which has been very successful.
You may not have access to QST, but they had a very positive review of the v5 in the Sept 2019 issue
??

Given the new display, there is a fair bit of different firmware from the v5.
Could be a bug or two lurking there yet.
The reviewer did think he should have more mike gain, perhaps not realizing
that this could come at the cost of out-of-band spurs.
He also notes that power output drops off as you go up to the higher bands,
which may be why he wanted that mike gain knob.
You may decide to add AGC someday.
There will undoubtedly be new and improved firmware as time goes on.?
But the uBitx has matured considerably since v3 and v4.
You can just unbox it and plug things together to have a working rig that meets FCC specs.

OK, so have a Bitx40, very pleased with the rig, but had to make a number?of fixes to get it working how I wanted and still have a couple to finish. This uBix V6, is this a ready to run model, or is there a number of fixes needed again?
?
Dont mind the fixing but if not fully documented, like some, it can take a long time.

Thanks?for any and all input Vaughn
