Re: #sbitx - an ugprade kit is on the way #sBitx


 

The current consumption in rx is now less than 0.5A, thats the same league as the venerable FT817ND (let me go and touch mine).?
I guess if we have a way to switch off the display, it can even come down to 200mA.

I was eyeballing an upgrade myself just for the increased energy efficiency, but I will be happy to get the kit with a buck converter selected for compatibility - Finding one that doesn't produce noise in the receiver would be trial and error for me otherwise!

The sBitx is shaping up to be a great portable radio after this upgrade, sounds like rx current should be competitive with the Yaesu FT817 but with all the advantages of a pi-powered SDR and built in digital modes!
