Re: Open letter to Afarhan et all
I am learning a lot from this discussion despite the rancor.
If it would be beneficial, I could start a page on this site's wiki on how to build a new sdcard from scratch, since I'm about to give

Re: Brainstorming: sbitx with new Raspberry Pi 5?
#sBitx
Yes, and they are developing an official NVMe "HAT".
It is nice that there is extra room inside the sbitx, hopefully that would allow for Pi5 with both NVMe and a fan to fit inside the sbitx

Mine is also packed up, the weather is nice the next two days so I'm going to go do some POTA!

Re: Main screen layout
Dave,
Have you tried the RX key on the screen?? I do not have my sbitx DE set up now, so I can not verify it for you.? I am going from memory when I was playing with my DE.

Re: Open letter to Afarhan et all
My $.02 worth here too,
The same issues can be said about the uBitx V6. Yes, it worked half assedly out of the box but was not a truly useable ham radio in my book. I did tinker with it and get it

Hi Dave,
I have some family matters that prevent me from dedicating enough time, perhaps I can dedicate more time to this matter starting in December.
It will also depend on the evolution of the new

And there is a PCIe lane, which can be used for NVMe without using the USB3 if I remember correctly.

Re: Raspberry Pi in sBITX V2
I modded my sBitx to add a couple of fans, one of which was on the Pi. I wanted to add the heat sink/fan kit that comes with the kitted Pi as I am using mine for POTA and it got crazy hot on the first

Re: Open letter to Afarhan et all
Even in your critique of Carl you indicate that "most of the hams (you) know have a basic knowledge of electronics" - I simply point out that "most" is a group with fewer members than "every".

The sbitx is sold as a "kit" even if assembled and tested.? This gets around the need for FCC certification in the USA.? It keeps the cost down.? It also means that you, as the owner, are

This seems right. As far as I know there is no storage for calibration data on the radio board itself, therefore it makes sense that all such data is in the file system of the raspberry pi. As was
