Someone gave me a non-working Four State QRP Group??that at first glance looks like all of the parts are there. I need to get with David NM0S and get it figured out.?

For the price and ease of assembly, it is hard to beat the Emtech ZM-2 manual tuner.

Very nice, and some fascinating capabilities.

I¡¯m hoping I have enough time while teaching part-time high school this semester to delve into some of this code!

Aaron,
The best thing to carry to the field is an L match. A variable cap, even the polyvaricon, and a tapped inductor should tune anything with a good match.

A short video of sBitx working

 

Here is something I recorded this morning.
The RF was getting into the microphone cord of the camera, so I didn't transmit any audio.?

If you need to now how to become quirliger: copy the way some DMR transceivers have to be operated. Thats is I guess almost the Top of quirkiness.?

?Hi Ashhar-? Yes- I have been following you and watched your intro to sBitx on YouTube about a year ago,? I have had more fun building the uBitx than making QSOs with them! I am sure there will be a few challenges with sBitx, but that's what makes it interesting.? This is certainly better that trying to get 40 or 50 year old boat anchors back on the air!? Plus it is state-of-the-art.

Re: SBITX assembly

 

Thank you, Don.? That is helpful!? Sorry you had bad shipping.


Re: sbitx board set

 

Yes, but the board sets (now called the basic kit) goes out onMonday. The fully assembled kits have mostly been shipped.

I hope you like it. It is the most fun radio. A little quirky as I had no experience working a big gun radio. I just saw online videos to see how they operate and built it up.

Thank you, Ashhar.? I will be ordering soon.? I have so far built uBitx versions 4 and 5 with Nextion screens and Inkits enclosures. I also have a version 6. Can't wait to play with sBitx!

Re: SBITX assembly

 

i ordered that exact one yesterday, same day delivery at no extra charge. it arrives, the box is somewhat crushed, and the display is mangled. Attempt number 2 arrives Monday.

Dig-key also has them, slightly lower list price, but as a single item, by the time you add shipping, especially if you have Prime, its no better than a wash.

Also, I assume that the a RPi 4 with 4GB is ok?

Re: sBitx Display

 


I think the X6100 uses Linux but not a rPi.
For a digital mode person, this might be the coolest thing ever.


Re: SBITX assembly

 

This is correct.

Re: uBITX SWR Tolerance #ubitxv6

 

Or if you have worse SWR, make an easy tuner:
For QRP the plate distance does not need to be large.

If you use only one band an end-fed wire could be even more easily tuned:

Enjoy!
