..and, maybe again? ;)
should probably start with a 'sudo'; i.e.:? sudo chown pi:pi
/home/pi/sbitx/data/user_settings.ini
(and type in the user's (pi) password if prompted)
...even though the file is in the user's directory (and the user
has full permissions there), they lack sufficient privilege to
alter the file ownership away from root

Well, I screwed that up. ?:-D ? ?I meant:
chown pi:pi
/home/pi/sbitx/data/user_settings.ini
Hi Ashhar,
I figured out the user_settings.ini file
issue; the file was owned by root. ?Thanks!
For future reference for others, do a:
chown root:root
/home/pi/sbitx/data/user_settings.ini
Unrelated question: I'm thinking of doing
some pull requests for contributing some functionality
for your consideration.? I have in mind customization
settings for the user interface (colors, etc.). ?Also
thinking of a customization for the frequencies on the
waterfall. ?Would you like to have customization
settings appended to user_settings.ini, or perhaps
elsewhere? ?I can see this file growing very large.

Goody,
It looks like there are
a lot of space characters being generated by
the attached keyboard. Can you remove the
keyboard and check?
You might want to delete user_settings.ini, git
pull again to get a fresh user_settings.ini.
just before you do that, email me your
user_settings.ini file.
I am implementing a
telnet server to accept all the commands and
return the output text seen on the console
window. Coming soon...
The minimize button should ideally show the rpi
icon, to "return to raspberry pi". Let me figure
it out.
I will check about the
cwdelay at my end and report?back.
Do send me your
user_settings.ini. check if the file permissions
are normal (read/write enabled for user pi).?

Greetings,
A few initial observations:
1) Several times I¡¯ve gotten the rig into a
weird state where CW sending from the
keyboard just cycles in and out of transmit
and receive, and the only way to get out of
the cycling is exiting the app.? Attempts to
transmit with the key put the rig in TX, but
no RF out.? I¡¯ve haven¡¯t attempted QSOs yet,
I just have a 40 meter antenna connected?
with the power down to 1 watt.? Once the rig
gets into this weird state, the only way I
can get it out of it is sometimes by
switching bands, but usually I have to do a
full OS shutdown and power reset.? I¡¯m still
gathering data points.
2) I noticed my sbitx doesn¡¯t write to the
data/user_settings.ini file.? No big deal
right now, I edit it with vi.
3) I was seeing a lot of errors with a Dell
keyboard connected up.? Often the rig would
display a send a U instead of a V.? I
connected up an Apple keyboard and I¡¯m not
noticing the errors.
4) CW T/R time is quite long.? I see a
cw_delay=1000 setting.? I attempted to
change this to 500, but the problem above
(#1) is getting in the way of me testing
this.
5) The OFF button might better be labeled
EXIT, and CLOSE is more like a ¡°minimize¡±
button (perhaps a down arrow, like what is
used in the Pi GUI would be more
appropriate?? (Perhaps have it that button
label can be customized in
user_settings.ini?)
6) I¡¯m definitely getting the Wi-Fi noise
into the audio.? I¡¯ve turned off Wi-Fi and
I¡¯m using wired Ethernet for now, with no
noise issues.
7) Any way to send sbitx \ commands to the
app via the operating system (i.e. command
line)?
8) It appears \ commands are case
sensitive.? Perhaps accepting CAPS for
commands might avoid user issues?
9) Any chance for a wide AM detector?? Maybe
this is some code I could develop once I get
my bearings¡.
Overall, I¡¯m really excited about this rig.?
Lots of potential.
