Re: New sBitx V3 to me

 

Hi Gyula,
?
Thanks for the response. I bought this rig at a tailgate yesterday. The seller seemed like he didn't use it much and was not very helpful.
?
When I click on the icon the software starts fine and shows me. sbitx v3.0
?
I also just found when I change mode from cw to LSB I can click on KBD and the keyboard opens.
?
As far as I can tell, all the functions work such as the recorder, FT8 and sideband.
?
Another thing I noticed while watching videos is that the cases look different. Mine is rather tall and thin with only two knobs on the front. USB ports on the right side with BNC. Left side is power switch, key, mic and ear.

Yep, I will flip the version if the early tests find it okay

Re: New sBitx V3 to me

 

OK the hardware version is v3, when you turn it on it says which firmware version. Did you just buy it from the manufacturer?
Then I think it might be v3.021 or something similar.
If you have a spare uSD card at home and you want to use the device, copy the contents of the /sbitx/data folder from the uSD card to a USB stick. The manufacturer ships it with a 32-bit OS, and it is worth replacing the OS (an image on a new uSD card) with a 64-bit one, because it is under development. Currently the firmware version is v4.4.

Re: zBitx DOA

 

I have not familiarised myself with this new one, but a common problem is the barrel jack input......ensure you have the correct
centre pin sized jack or you wont get connection.....so easy to get caught out on these infernal plugs.

New sBitx V3 to me

 

Good morning all,
?
I have been interested in the SDR rig and finally picked one up yesterday. I looked up the manual, watched a few videos but cannot figure out a few things. #1 when i touch the KBD OFF button, the radio shuts off. #2 there is no SET button which should be next to WEB button.
?
It appears that I have a full screen but the resolution is too large. I have no access to the settings menu to adjust.
?
The main problem with this is the call sign and grid are not mine.
?
Thanks for the help.

Re: Zbitx 9vdc

 

USB-C with PD are a better solution as they are less likely to be producing noise. However, you should note that the power bank has to be big enough to provide 3 A @ 9V.
Re: zBitx User Manual

 

Hello Ragav,
Thank you for preparing the new manual.
For document control purposes, PLEASE place a Revision Number such as V1.0 and a DATE, such as March 30, 2025, on each issue and keep that up-to-date as you make changes.? Thank you!

Re: zBitX ft8 TX signal comes speaker

 

Yes, drive is set to 100 and I am using the native application. The voltage coming off the barrel connector of the included battery holder is 7.56(display shows +7.4v) with 2 brand new fully charged 18650s. If I select CW there is no RF power out and the sound comes out the device speaker. ?Power out shows 0w and swr is 0, also confirmed with a watt meter.
?
Strange, I went to that url last night and there was no manual there only a page that said there was a place holder, but it appears to work now.

Seems like a little work with a volt ohm ?meter would bring clarity to lots of these situations?

I watched the video you made.
I would try some things.
You should know that the USB cable to the CAT connector only powers the screen, not the raspberry pi. Therefore, it will never turn on.
I would connect a 6 to 9v dc power supply different from the one in the battery socket.
let's see what happens. It could be a problem with the battery cable.
Someone said that the battery cable connectors have failed...
If that doesn't work, then we have a problem with the radio's motherboard. But that's strange, since the radios are tested and adjusted before shipping.
