Preston,
How are you going to present a radio that is intended for digital communication without a license?? To use the capabilities of the sBitx, you need at least a General license, as it is mainly for HF.? The 10-meter use is limited.? I suggest you get the license and then ask HFSignals for a demo unit to review.? Otherwise, it feels like you are fishing for a free handout.
Farhan,
I would bet other deserving Hams can put the radio to full use.? You already have a backlog of orders, so you do not need publicity to promote the sBitx.? This might be an option after the sBitx is in full production mode and there is no backlog of people waiting to order.
