To switch from 32-bit to 64-bit you will need:
a new uSD card of good quality, 32GB,
a USB stick, so that you can transfer copies from one OS to another, later copy the daily variables here.
a lot of patience, so that if you are unfamiliar with Debian, then do everything in order.
Yes and read, you will find how to do it in the wiki, if not, then ask.

I just found the info in the manual that was just released.?

Barrel connector is 5.5 x 2.1 mm.?
Battery needs to provide 3 amps.?

?

I see, so you have the v3.0 alpha version in the firmware on your device.
Since development is almost complete on the 32-bit version, it is worth switching to the 64-bit Image if you want to use the device.
Unfortunately, there are many bugs in the initial versions and the fixes are completed on the 64-bit version, they are implemented there.
For the 64-bit transition, read this and this and do it all if you want to install the current version.
- ELF ??

... It is worth switching to the 64-bit OS, because the development is happening here. The current Image contains most of the programs needed for radio broadcasting, which you can implement with this device. You only need to fill in the characteristics of your station and use it. Important! the 64-bit Image was released with sbitx v4.2 and you can read the latest developments in the Github JJ wiki, what you need to do. First you need to download the ELF Image, which the description tells you how to do.
I'm back, start the device with the uSD card that came with the delivery and start the File Manager instead of sbitx. Insert a USB stick to which you copy the contents of the /sbitx/data folder. This must be done because the hardware-specific data is here and is also needed for the 64-bit OS.

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.

Time sync not working - same as reported in issue #4...

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.

Which version?

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.

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.

Uploaded fine ... but shows up as v1.04

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.

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!

Couldn't download zbitx_front_panel_sw.ino.uf2 from HFSIGNALS page.

?

Downloaded code from zBitx page.- zbitx_front_panel_sw.ino.uf2 dated 3/30 9:15 AM.

?

Xfer to zBitx - no response (stays on gray screen)

?

Xfer v1.04 and zBitx reboots to 1.04.........

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.
