From what you posted, your uBITX is a V-5.? There are not a lot
of differences between V-3, V-4, V-5, and V-6.? Most of the factory
changes were focused on FCC compliance.? There are several
3rd-party operating software systems for uBITX transceivers.
Info for your uBITX V5 is located at
The home page for the uBITX line is located at
Some user experience based help is at
The jumpy tuning might indicative of RF getting into places where it
should not be.? It could also be a damaged tuning encoder (too much
heat during soldering?).? Some on this discussion group may have
experienced similar problems and can provide better advice.
If you have a DVM it might be worthwhile to observe power supply
voltage to make sure there is enough current to run the rig.
You might want to read over the instructions to see how to go directly
into the configuration menu when you turn it on.

I didn't realize there were so many different models.? I have no
idea what model it is but when I turn it on it says uBITX v5.1
I joined the group to learn more about it before asking stupid
questions.
Main problem at the moment is turning the tuning seems to make
the frequency jump by random, sometimes large, values.? And, it
is different depending on which way you turn it.? As a result,
the menus don't change smoothly and band change is truly weird.
Almost looks like really bad keybounce.
I am not sure if there is better firmware or not but I will
need to learn how to load new firmware into the Raduino cause
I already see things regarding the display that I am not going
to be happy with.
