You could wrap the cable around some ferrite rod? and see.

I just loaded the new 64 bit "Field Day" release and it seems to work well except for WSJT. The audio is fine, but there is no cat control. The Network Server is set to Hamlib NET rigctl and I tried Network Server addresses 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.1:4532, which both fail Test Cat.
What did I miss?

John,

Bookworm is also constantly being developed, as is a newer version from sBitx.
Currently the latest sb64p1.img is the 64-bit version.
I recommend that you do not overwrite the old SD card, but get a new SD card or a fast USB stick.
If you have several versions on different cards, you can compare which one is better for you.
By the way, it is advisable to make a backup, then you can easily return to the well-functioning version in case of an irreparable error.
If you buy a USB stick, you have to make the RPi4 smart so that it can work.

This is my opinion.

It's ok.. I understand it can be confusing with several versions floating around out there. Yes, sb64p1 is the newest release that will continually be updated going forward.

Thanks, JJ.? I had the HF Signals 3.01 version on my SD card and used it to format and partition a USB disk (128 Gig) to download sb64rc1.img.xz onto the USB disk.? Used Balena to make the 64 bit version, and then removed the SD card from the RPi.? Booted from USB and got the 64 bit version running.? Then ran ./update to run the 3.025 that you just distributed (Field Day version), and the new sbitx version is 3.25 is listed on the welcome text part of sbitx program when run.??

I'm suspecting I should have used sb64p1.img. Right?

I suppose I can go back and do it over again, rebuilding with the different one--the sb64p1.img.??

Told you I'm a nobie, not even a newbie.? What are your thoughts?

Kindest regards, John W9NET

Here is another solution – I have used these with success.

I wonder how well these would work with all the RFI inside the sBitx. Shorter, shielded connections are better, IMO.

I bought these as I had the same problem.

For my RasPi station computer I use a 128meg SSD. It works well and it's faster, especially with app initiation. But having an SDD card hanging off the side of the radio really complicates hauling it around and being out on the beach.

The idea this group gave me was to do all my testing using a USB drive. When I get what I want as my final version, I can put that on a MicroSD drive and get rid of the USB drive.

Anyone know a source of a cable like the AWM 20706 in small quantities?

The "final version" is chosen by everyone, I don't think the time will come for someone not to come up with a new idea!

JJ,

So am I understanding you right? You never have a micro sd card inside the unit and only run it from the usb? If that works well, that would eliminate huge frustrations!? Changes could be so much easier. The only downside seems to be? wear on the usb and possible damage of breakage.?

?

Scotty WD4PYT

Correct. I don't want to give away all my secrets :)? That is why I use the low profile USB drives as to not damage or break anything.

Ok. I remember seeing that occasionally as well. Maybe you can try upgrading to sBitx v3.02 or give the 64 bit version a try. I haven't experienced the issue since I went to 64.

Good luck.

Hi John.

Did you use sb64p1.img to write the SD card?


-JJ

Bruce

That can be frustrating.. Here is what I do for testing and normal operation.. I remove the microSD card from the Pi, then write the img file to a low profile USB drive then plug it into the USB port.

Most of the time when I power up my v3 sBitx, the display comes up with only the left part of the waterfall visible and no audio. Most of the time, if I physically unplug the power, it fixes itself.

Thoughts?

Are you using the stock version or 64 bit version?

mine does that once in a while. off/on fixes so far don w8ptb
