Re: Which Development Environment (IDE)
I thought for sure you used emacs! It has a vi mode, debugging, and even a doctor!

I designed a Pi HAT MB for the Pi HAT distributed by Farhan during the FDIM 2024 presentation. ? I share the details here. Size is 10x10 cm ? If anyone interested, I can also share the Gerb files. ? Regards Charudatt – VU2UPX

There is no "corrected" version. Every radio gets their own tuned up file it is stored /home/pi/sbitx/data
?
Where is the corrected CW? - hw_settings.ini? -? available
for download ?

Re: BITX 13 Colony Challenge
I did it!
I nailed the exclusive K2K for a clean sweep and the colonies are once again united!? While I was listening and waiting for a chance to break in to the cacophonous pileup, I heard a calm voice come through chaos subsided - "KM4UDX, Don, 59, Virginia" - yes that Don of Frankenbitx fame who happens to live just a few blocks from me - and who apparently got through on his first try.? Sometimes life is unfair - after hearing Don's confirmed QSO it took me another two hours to find an opening and make the contact!
So the homebrew sBitx burn-in weekend is complete.? Very happy wiht the performance so far - but like all homebrew rigs there is still much left to do - I need to work on packgage and track down an intermittent problem wiht wifi causing RFI and triggering some relays.

Re: Time zone not changing?
Also, I would like to say a big thank you for all the help and advise, really appreciated.
Update is, switched to JJ's Bookworm version and all appears to be fine, managed to get my sBitX data backed up and imported to the 64Bit OS.
Thought I had ruined my sBitX v3 and about to offer it for sale!
Now to learn it and start playing.

it ended up about 1/2 hour for sd and a little longer for usb memory.? Don

It depends on the equipment in use and the size of the cards.? ?To burn an image with BalinaEtcher it takes my laptop about a half hour.
To use the dd command with a 32g card it takes about two hours.? Depending on the equipment it can be slower.? If you use USB b vs USB c, b is much slower.? Your milage varies with the equipment.

Hello JJ
I updated Tollbox64 v2.6 to 2.7 and the button for USB-headset? disapered.
Any sugestions?
Is it possible to use a Bluetooth headset to the xBitx v3?
Tomas/SM7NST
Native bluetooth on the Pi is not compatible with sBitx at this time. I suggest using a wireless headset with USB receiver for now. -JJ

Hey JJ -
Nice work in the 64 bit image.? First try for me today.? I installed the Field Day release and patch.? ?First problem found - FT8 mode is not working.? I'm not getting any FT8 decodes and when I click CQ it doesn't transmit.? I'm using the native GUI (not web).? Tried on a couple of bands. FT8 works great on the stock 32 bit version.
Any suggestions?
