Re: Video: Timing problems with zBitx internal keyer
Yep, it’s missing a lot of your leading dots, suggesting that the sampling just ?isn’t fast enough. ?So your W started with dashes, and a lot of other characters are similarly mangled
?
?
It was also very disconcerting when it didn’t work right on the sBitx before, once the sampling went up much faster it became very nice?
?
Hopefully this will all get eventually settled out; We did on the sBitx , but it took a long time. ?Mike johnshoy was the solution

Re: Waiting for the zBitx to start…
I had to re-load mine two or three times and it finally started booting up (Tnx HB9CEY).

How do I restore the image?

Enable Bluetooth on the desktop turn on your keyboard and tell Bluetooth to scan for devices. ?You can then pair from there. ?On Linux I usually have a problem where Bluetooth wants to repeatedly disconnect from the device until the first reboot. ?After that works fine.?

I had already executed this command without success.
I had already executed this command, without success. Everything is still as shown in the pictures.

Hallo!
After updating the zBitx software and firmware, the zBitx no longer starts properly. Repeating the update does not work..

What can I do to get the zBitx working?

Hello everyone,
I understand that the zBitx has Bluetooth onboard the Raspberry Pi. Is there a way I can set up my Bluetooth keyboard with a track mouse to the Raspberry Pi on the zBitx? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Everyone,
Robert, AG6LK?

I use these to help dissipate the excess heat. Slap them on back and let them do their job.?
Also use on Xeigu 6200.

Ryan,

I'm sorry to hear that the zBitx arrived with a crack. I'm guessing the parcel had a rough journey to your location. Can you share some photos of the radio and the packaging with us. You can email it to us at support at HFSignals dot com.
?
I will share the STL files for the case soon.?

VFO Knob replacement for zBitx posted
Hello All,
I wanted a dimpled knob for the front of my zBitx, so I turned to Thingiverse to find a suitable knob and adjust the size to what I wanted and 3D printed my own in black PLA. The knob I've remixed is 10mm tall and 30mm in diameter, and will sit low to the front panel of the radio if you [very carefully] trim the length of the rotary encoder shaft. Please be careful to not bend the shaft of the encoder as you are doing this.
?
I've shared the files and full trimming instructions here

Re: Does zBitx have SWR display?
Ensure your software and firmware are at the latest versions. I also have found a power cycle helps with this.

Hi Farhan I loaded firmware 1.06 and I am very happy the chugging sound has gone from cw reception. This afternoon listening on ssb 20m I did notice some less pronounced chugging sounds. I will try and add this to the github bugs list. Thanks for the fast cw fix. 73 Nigel MW0NDE?
I have fixed the two issues of zbitx on CW. The new update has good keying with Iambic keyer and the cw decode noise is now gone as well. To get this update, you have to: 1. Flash the new firmware (the firmware version is now 1.06). The firmware is available from? 2. Update the new software on the raspberry pi, the latest version with the CW keyng fixed is 3.051 (or later). Here is Jose, VU2JOS sending CW with the new firmware update.
With this, I hope we have moved on with CW issues. - f ?

Re: Does zBitx have SWR display?
Mine doesn’t seem to do that. I’ve never seen a power output or SWR there.

When you TX, you'll see power and SWR:  This snapshot is from the manual, available here:

Re: Zbitx RPI SD-card image needed
Ragav
Thank you so very much !!
Now Im a happy bunny. unzipped and then flashed another 32Gbyte SD-card I had laying around.
Im using "Balena Etcher".?
Again - Im a bit concerned with the fact that the system is somewhat fragile. So I guess it makes sense to have the image available for download with instructions on how to flash if things go sideways out there.

Yeah I think the new software update is an improvement but some of the keying is still rough around the edges. It definitely helped with the chugging sound.
?
This issue remains unless it is unreachable code.? I posted this in the other thread about CW mode.
