Re: Sbitx v2 without touchscreen?
Indeed, one can use the v2 from any device in the world by using a VPN.

Yes, the software works without a touchscreen.

Re: Using an external HDMI TV Monitor
Another layer of audio never helps. Better stick with pure alsa only. What exactly do you need Ashhar? Alsa has plugins for almost everything, with different level of performance and efficiency. Pulseaudio is really evil indeed...

Re: mods needed on DE version....
to Farhan...
going to the new (to me)??? sbitx.net website causes me another
question.?? My DE set came with the new regulator board? and has
the pin diode tr upgrade board.?? The website talks about? "PA sequencing to
avoid blow outs"...? is this mod still required of my DE set?

Thanks to Farhan for the clarity & Petr ....??? I have a k3

You do not need to
update your radio regularly but it is good to have chance to
do it if it¡¯s suitable for you based on new software release
note.?
I have my Elecraft K3
from 2008. There were dozen of software updates released
during years and I updated it several times but I do not have
latest release simply because last few updates did not bring
anything useful for me. No bugs fixes just added few things
which I will never use it¡
So you do not need to worry about software in V2 I guess. It
will work but it is always good to know that if any issues
will happen then it can be solved by software update.?
Its my 2c opinion;)

Re: Cooling RPi4 in Sbitx
My radio has been running continuously for the last one week, this is our peak summer, with temperatures soaring to 38 c. The shack's air conditioner is in on only about 3 hours day. It has run without problem. - f

The question whether the RPi4 should be installed without cooling or with cooling does not let us rest.
I looked through several test descriptions, where they show measurements depending on the number of processors /
CPU frequency used and with different cooling solutions.
The point is that there can be a difference of up to 30 degrees C with or without the refrigerator.
In the state without a cooler, 85-88 degrees Celsius is also possible.
While the most effective passive cooling is 50-63 degrees Celsius.
Since I used an RPi400 so far, I have no experience, but I think that some kind of cooling is necessary.
(I don't mean the 3 small cooling surfaces)
I'd like to hear other people's opinions and experiences.

Bill, First, as it is shipped, you keep operating as it is shipped. It wont die on you. You are at liberty to upgrade or not. I guess for you, you can upgrade once a year to get the latest features in. The website to go to, in the future (not very active now) would be .? Yes, the touchscreen does everything, you need a mouse if you are not using a touch screen and using an HDMI display instead. - f

does the v2 touchscreen do everything ?? sounds like

Maybe someday V2 will be big enough to have its own

Is there some site other than reading emails to

Re: Remote Audio sBitx v2
I don't know how I got the 30 second delay, but I did hear. Not, I'm experiencing about a 6 second delay. There must be some buffering somewhere.

Re: Needed: replacement PA transformer for sBitx (T8)
Thanks Mick. I knew the description was somewhere.
And for Jerry and anyone else who has this problem I hope my photos are helpful, if only to show that it¡¯s possible to fix with a little effort and care.?
If it happens again I have eight FT50-43 toroids in my junk box and I¡¯ll build a new, bigger transformer. I¡¯m assuming that mine failed during normal operation but with bad luck, and that a bigger one with 3 turns of Teflon wire would perform similarly but with a greater safety margin. If that¡¯s not a reasonable assumption I¡¯d appreciate further advice. The larger transformer would not fit in the same space and would require a few millimeters of standoff space and therefore longer leads, but with luck it might not cause any additional problem¡ªafter all it¡¯s not a VHF device¡at least not intentionally!

Re: Remote Audio sBitx v2
I am pretty good with audio programming. I wrote voip protocols, switches and clients in a previous life, but the webrtc is just too restrictive for my liking. Never the less, there is a simplicity to being just able to open and url on any device and dx. So, no clients, just the web ui. - f

Mark, you are right. Let me fix that
Scott,
I didn't do the iptables stuff, I just access via port 8080.
I didn't do the desktop shortcut.
I think there is a bug in the sqlite command to create the database (around line 150)
cd data?
sqlite3 < create_db.sql
I think the second line needs to be:
sqlite3 sbitx.db < create_db.sql
Otherwise it doesn't create the database, which isn't an issue as the program creates one on startup, if needed.
