It's satisfying if it works well for you, but staying on 32 bit you lose the whole suite of programs installed by JJ, the very active support of the developers from JJ's page

Re: v3 64 bit or 32 bit?

 

Another method, with the help of google, is to type in the terminal: getconf LONG_BIT
and you will find out from the answer.

The manufacturer still ships 32-bit. If you want 64-bit, you have to do it yourself.

v3 64 bit or 32 bit?

 

how can i tell what firmware my v3 has installed? it is new and i bought it from Gigaparts in the usa


Re: Source for sBitx V2 or V3 speaker replacement #sBitx #sBITX_v3

 

Someone already asked and as I recall the answer was LCD TV speakers. Based on its size, it is a rare version, because 30x70 mm is the typical size. But it's 30x80mm.
But I found something worth checking out:
You may want to search further as this is no longer available.

Re: V3 Desktop Time Incorrect

 

Hi,?
?
I'm new to the group, and got my V3 just last week.. and now time to fiddle..?
First I made a copy of the internal SD card, then saw the issue with the time.. until I found this solution...?
Many thanks to rdg!

aj6cu kd8cec firmware question

 

when you recoded the kd8cec for the pico did you use pin numbers or gpio numbers ? as I am tring to follow what you did
?


aj6cu help neeed

 

is it possible with the work you did on the kd8cec we can do the same for the ubitx v6 code and pport it tou work on a 3.5 I have and recode it for 2m?
?

Gordon, I'm not sure if you saw this behavior or not, but there was a little bug in that tune that would initialize the rig to 2TONE when it was first brought up.
The TUNE OFF condition rolled the previous mode to the literal "last mode" in the mode_name array.?
I have altered the code block slightly to keep the TUNE OFF from tinkering unless we are using the TUNE utility.

Re: RX sensitivity #v6

 

Hello Everyone,
?
I agree with Tomasz and previous observations that the receive sensitivity of the ubitx radios, especially since v5, is generally really good. I have noticed that above 15m, receive sensitivity drops off a little. I wonder if anyone has found a way of flattening the gain of the 1st IF amp above 21MHz? There was originally a suggestion that adding capacitance across R12 improved things, although this applied to pre v5 circuits when Q10 was 2N3904 (/g/BITX20/topic/25165192#msg58492). There are probably other factors to consider, so it might not be as simple as tweaking the first IF stage, but it would be nice to increase sensitivity here a little without adding additional (pre) amp stages, especially with the recently increased activity on the 10m band.

All best wishes,

Re: sBITX active cooling #3d_printing #sBitx

 

My very first fan was similar. For me, the noise was 25dBA and it consumed 12V 100mA.
When it started getting noisy, I started looking for another one and found the 12V 40mA 16.3 dBA. Since the fan cooling the heatsink is 92x92x25mm and 12V 40mA and 17dBA, I was satisfied with this. I recommend that everyone look for the quietest one possible, because sooner or later you will hear your voice. It wasn't your ears that got better hearing. ;-)

If I could, I wouldn't use the fan, but at the moment I don't see a better cooling option. However, the RPi row of pins could be routed to the other side of the pcb, then another cooling option would immediately appear.

Re: sBITX active cooling #3d_printing #sBitx

 

Update - got a 50 mm fan and it fits a print from the design perfectly.
I'm in no hurry to replace the 40 mm fan as I never get the Pi above 55 C, even with heavy FT8
use.

Re: What is bitx23?

 

what vfo code you going to use as a base? or are you writing new code...

I am working on a rpi pico src based on what farhan started but its going?to take time to grow correctly . I know the kd8cec firmware is ported to other boards but the work to rm 10-80m and all the relays and filters is going to be a issue
. also have to decide?on what screen is best I need 2.9 or higher as my eye are going bad slowly.?

I have a git hub?of what I have done thus far posted and I am working on more and trying to fix the si570 ino file?

Re: RX sensitivity #v6

 

Hello Thomas,
Ubitx v6 as claimed by designer is 0.2uV, but IMO - even better.
RTL-SDR what I have found ~0.5uV - which is what I have observed - ubitx is far more sensitive than RTL-SDR.
It should be also more resistant for cross talk as this is superheterodyne receiver.
The advance of RTL-SDR is multi modulation platform (AM, FM, SSB, CW etc.) while ubitx is SSB and CW.
For Your purpose (wide coverage mobile receiver) You should rather consider some global radio (like Tecsun, ATS-20 etc.).
But if You are looking good, cheap transceiver I recommend ubitx v6.
?
Last IARU HF July 2024 contest I have made a lot of DX contacts with ubitx v6 and PA70 amplifier (on some bands PA not exceeding 30W, lower 50-60W).
From central Poland I made contacts with Brasil, Argentina, Japan, USA, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Oman, China...
?
This is really powerful rig and I like it mostly due to its superheterodyne design, simplicity, reliability, tinker-ability...
?

Tomasz
