How to take a power spectrum?
During covid, I started a project to make an antenna analyzer, but never got the random eBay STL-SDR to work. Seems like I could use my spanking-new sBitx to take the data instead, and much more

Re: sBitx Logging issue - and Dupe Checking
It's OK, I've had the radio for a week and version 4.12 was downloaded yesterday. I believe that the development will progress. ?The radio is great, I'm satisfied. I was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks

Re: sBitx No Power Out, blown Finals?
Hi Andy,
Before doing anything, check if there is 12V in TX in the final stage. As you said the power

It seems that the error message cannot be resolved.
My experience is that the automatic RX Filter works well, but care must be taken to use it correctly.

Stan,
When the sbitx application is logged in, you will see the inscription which version you are using.
This topic was last written in January, and many changes have taken place since then.

Re: sBitx Logging issue - and Dupe Checking
Thank you for your reply. I understand. But if I press WIPE I delete everything and if the SENT and RECV fields are not filled in I will not log next time. How to make those fields remain filled?

Of course you tried transmitting in another mode like CW. To make sure it's not a FT 8 issue

Re: sBitx Logging issue - and Dupe Checking
Don't throw the radio just because you have to hit the swipe button!
The calllsign field is also used to fill in the cw macros with your call

Hello,
I bought a SBITX for an outdoor event. I was attracted by the possibility of direct logging to the radio. I only work CW. FT8 doesn't interest me. After logging in, the call field has to be

FM can be added in the software so there is no need to upgrade the board. The 64 bit development team added an experimental S-Meter to the software. You can see our work at https://github.c

Hi Andy,
You should check with HFSignals as there is a warranty for fully assembled kits. ?At a minimum I would expect a pair of replacement MOSFETs.
