Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
I think I am even less of a fan of sawing the board in half than I am of soldering the ribbon cable directly to the board. Is there a super-low-profile 10 pin connector out there we can

Re: Simple SDR Add-On for uBitX V6 and others
Great job! I assume you put the uBITX in SDR mode by clicking that button in upper right (SPK/SDR). As I was poking at KD8CEC tried to get the receiver to boot up in SDR mode, but it doesn't seem to.

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
YUP. I am thinking of cutting the board in half to eliminate the IDC connector, then wire the ribbon cable directly to each piece of board. My cable is about two inches too short for the case I am

Re: FT8 Pull Request submitted - Signal Level "+" sign
Hi David - a 0 will get a plus sign in front of it, which appears to be convention. BTW - I'm seeing another convention that signal reports are two digits. If that's the case, it's easy to

Good point, but it's a bit too late for that... -- Regards, Dave, N1AI

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
My feelings on this issue is that the IDC male header should have been put on the opposite side from the encoders. Barry Sent from Mail for Windows Sent: Wednesday, January 3, 2024 6:08

Re: FT8 Pull Request submitted - Signal Level "+" sign
Preface: I know almost nothing about coding. My question is, how will the logging program respond to a 0(zero) report value since it is unsigned? David

FT8 Pull Request submitted - Signal Level "+" sign
Just submitted a PR to add a "+" sign to FT8 signal reports that are not negative (including the "+" for positive signal levels does appear to be the FT8 convention) The change is very simple to

I bet it¡¯s something simple. It won¡¯t be long before we have it figured out! after you figure something out it always seems simple, but when it first happens it¡¯s very perplexing!! Gordon

Re: sBitx V3 - TX output is fine but the SWR measurement is always 1.0 #sBITX_v3 #help
Not all of my screen shots came through for some reason. Varying power levels don't matter. I paid for a warranty and am expecting the manufacturer chime in and resolve this issue..

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
My earlier thought was to remove the female ribbon connector and replace the ribbon cable with a ten conductor shielded cable soldered directly to the encoder board, then put that encoder into a case

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
Yes Dave, you are correct, the V3 board is on the top and the V2 board on the bottom. The V2 encoders where just barely holding on by about 2-3 threads, I was very careful not to to over tighten them

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
Interesting.? I had already eyeballed that situation and was planning to investigate further, but you beat me to it. I presume your photo shows the V3 encoders with the shorter threads on the top,

New V3 encoder shaft problem.
When I received my V3 board a couple of weeks ago I just swapped the new board in for the old V2 board, leaving everything else in place. Everything has been mostly working until this morning, the

That might be an over-simplification of what I wrote.? I don't think I've made an extensive enough exploration to reach the conclusion that it doesn't work, all I've concluded so far is that it gets

Re: sBitx V3 - TX output is fine but the SWR measurement is always 1.0 #sBITX_v3 #help
For what it's worth: Most of the time mine shows SWR of 1.0. I am using an ATU-100 tuner, and when I switch bands and tune up, the SWR meter on the radio fluctuates quite a lot until the tuner
