Re: Sbitx Low transmit power on 20m, 12m
I have a strange problem. My sbitx v2 operates ok using FT8 with output power levels good. SSB and CW show zero output regardless of power settings. Any idea what may cause this change of operations,

Re: Advice and Opinions on the next iteration of the sBitx
I ran some tests using HTOP. It looks like running JTDX on the sBITX takes more than twice the CPU. The sBITX app mainly uses 1 core. It can use 100% in FT8 decodes, but much less in other modes. With

Re: Using sBitX V3 just to listen with
Just make sure the transmit drive level is all the way down to 0. If
transmit is accidentally pressed, nothing should get damaged.

Re: Using sBitX V3 just to listen with
Ray - this will also protect you from receiving!!!? You need a real antenna to receive.

Re: Using sBitX V3 just to listen with
Forgot to say, dummy load would be while 'learnig' the application but if listening I would attached my antenna I use with my Icom R8600, hence don't want to transmit.

Re: Advice and Opinions on the next iteration of the sBitx
PPS:
Add:
1. A good DSP similar to BHI or Xeigu AN1
2. Extend SD slot so accessible from the case side, no 'dismantling' the case.

Re: Advice and Opinions on the next iteration of the sBitx
I agree with Shirley. The problem with the 7" display is that it can only display 480x800 pixels.
If a higher resolution was made, it could be used here.
wsjtx and jtdx use a larger window because of

Re: Advice and Opinions on the next iteration of the sBitx
Formatting WSJT-X for the 7" screen could be done but it would be a
compromise. Most people operating the mode want to see more information
than a 7" screen can easily show.

Nick,
I too got similar readings. But I arrived at this design after an
experimental nudge-and-measure routine. Varied the termination impedances

Hi Ray,
Make a backup in case you may need a restore. May come in handy.

Re: Advice and Opinions on the next iteration of the sBitx
Someone should just layout the wsjtx screen to fit our screen. It should be
a simple enough job for someone who knows Qt Designer.
This is a developer"s bias problem. They use large screens

My start up failures ended when I began to count to 10 before hitting sbitx
app. Not sure if that means anything. Maybe add a slight delay before app
actually initializes? Otherwise, app often

Hi All,
I'm trying to get some hardware together for the zBITX project, starting with the 40 MHz crystal filter. I thought I'd start by measuring the parameters of the crystals specified by Farhan. I
