Emtech ZM-2 manual tuner
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.? ? -- '72

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

Re: A short video of sBitx working
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. - f
I think that I have everything to make a little tuner, like the air variable capacitors but I have never used a manual tuner so I would not have a clue as to what I am doing.?

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.?

?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.

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

Yes, but the board sets (now called the basic kit) goes out onMonday. The fully assembled kits have mostly been shipped.
Congrats! Wondering if maybe hfsignals is shipping fully assembled units first, especially with the changes to the board kit offering.

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. - f
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!

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?

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

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!
