Re: Z bitx when is the order page to re-open
We had to bump up the price to be able to buy key components faster (ex-stock). We have also been hit by some strange duty getting the PCBs from China. We had to bump the price up by 20 dollars.? Our vision was really to do a $100 dollar SDR, it just got escalated?to 169 USD - f

Re: Does sequence of updates matter?
I had to do the update at least twice each time, then it worked.
|
The new firmware v1.05 / v3.051 is slightly better than before, but since CW still doesn't work properly for me even with the new firmware, I compared it with the QCX-Mini. Both transceivers were keyed and monitored in parallel, at the same speed, using a paddle. I also tried unsuccessfully with another paddle.
?
While the QCX-Mini didn't lose any characters, the zBITX repeatedly produced errors, dots and dashes were lost or appended. This happened at slow and also faster speeds. This reminds me of my simple diy touch paddle where I always had to wet my fingers otherwise exactly such errors occurred.
?
It seems strange to me that everything works fine for other users.
?
If I use a macro from the zBITX to transmit, the zBITX keys everything flawlessly up to 50 wpm. No lost dots or dashes. How can this be, and where is the difference between keying by macro and the paddle input? I'm neither an IT nor an electronics engineer, but I would first look for the problem with the key input. Perhaps someone can explain this to me.
?

Re: Does sequence of updates matter?
I have done it in different orders and no issues. Are you seeing a waterfall?
This morning I updated the zBitx to v1.05 then updated the RPi to v3.05.
Should I have done these in the opposite order? The radio will not boot up now.
"Waiting for the zBitx to start..." Only this, and nothing more.

Re: Does sequence of updates matter?
Farhan said it doesn't matter but recommended doing the RPi first.

Re: Z bitx when is the order page to re-open
I noticed that the price has increased, it's now $197.00 shipped, I'm still waiting for the US postal system to decide to deliver mine to my door. It's been stuck in Portland OR for a week now, only 350 miles from my home.

Thank you!

Not to be a stick in the mud about this...but I was under the impression that all of the original orders would be shipped before taking new orders... Mine is order number 4381 and the status is still "Awaiting processing".
