Disconnecting power to the Nextion makes the whine disappear.

Mine arrived yesterday, a nice surprise with the DHL delivery
date having been reported as Monday. Not even 5 days from ship
to delivery, can't complain.
You really have to see this thing up close to appreciate
it..the pics don't do it justice.
Now to try to carve some build time before leaving town on
Monday.

Re: Haako 20% off, Tuesday, August 9
I'm a long time customer and fan. Use a couple of the FX888s (one of the old analog models, one of the newer digitals), along with the battery operated iron, and the FR301 desoldering tool. Can't say enough good things.
They have a wide assortment of tips, I have a good variety on hand, but for 90% of my work, the standard tip that comes with the FX888 works just fine.
The FX-951 looks nice, but for a general soldering station, the 888 has never let me down.?
As you're shopping around, also have a look at B and D Enterprises, they're a Hakko distributor that runs some good sales sometimes, though, 20% off on Tuesday from the hakko website probably hard to beat.

I¡¯m looking at the FX-951 Solder station. Just looking.
Tips are extra. What general purpose tip do you recommend? I can¡¯t really decide from the photos.

Re: Turn off WiFi on your sBitx
If you use the earphones it is not there. This is an LM380 issue.
Hey All,
The intermittent wifi noise does stop when the wifi is turned off on my sbitx.? However, when sbitx is simply running (sbitx software not running), there is a constant, low to medium volume, low frequency oscillation that is not affected by audio controls.? Once the sbitx software is executed, the oscillation is less noticeable.
Is this what you guys are talking about? ?

The STL files are in a link on the write-up page.

Some of my groups are moving to discord. Lots of real-time features.
But¡I hear there¡¯s a downside.

Haako 20% off, Tuesday, August 9
For those who are fans of Hakko products, or want to check them out for the first time, Hakko is having a one day 20% off anniversary sale on August 9th, 2022.
Use coupon code HAKKO20, at . Sale starts at 12:01 AM PDT and runs 24 hours. Unfortunately, it does appear hakko usa only ships from their website to US and Canada, does not appear they do any international sales or shipping, so I apologize for this message applying to just a subset of group members.

Re: #sbitx audio control on tap
#sBitx
That is great, Ashhar.? ?I'm teaching two courses in high school (in my RETIREMENT! -- I'm nuts) and won't be able to get to this for a few days, but excited to see the progress.? I'm looking forward to a lot of fun? ? My days are crammed full at the age of 66-3/4 just trying to get everything ready for chemistry/physics students, repairing? a Winlink RMS antenna, fishing, and keeping a ham radio group plunging forward.? ?Wrote one book so far this year -- a high school chemistry lab manual on Amazon.

I forgot to add sbitx-ft8.c to git. The executable sbitx will work anyway. I will update the git in a few hours.

Re: sBitx antenna-first warning
Tom wb6b is correct.
run voltmeter along the line to measure the peaks and minimums .
Also, just because you get 1:1 doesnt mean your antenna is efficient. proving this, take a field strength meter and go plot your minimal and maximum readings from it out in the field with various settings.You can have a 1:1 and have a signal that cant make it out of the county if your feed system and antenna is crappy.Or poorly set up or calculated wrong Also you can prove this by received reports on air , , Also the lower the noise level on receive when adjusting a match, means usually you are closer to a match for the radio.Meaning the received signal will be coming in louder and clearer. Just my own experience with my own equipment.
This is my experience with my own homebrewed equipment,.
