Re: ZbitX battery holder wiring
Maybe your batteryholder does have the same problem like mine in that the poles at the other end where not connected together also. Easy fixed with soldering in a wire.

Re: Zbitx arrived today
Thats actually a pretty good idea. When in a contact be it CW or FT8 or Voice, don't always need to have the waterfall going.

Re: zbitx Power
I'm using the batteries.? They are older(recovered from Laptops) batteries. So that could be the case why it's dipping.

Re: Zbitx arrived today
Just a thought, but what if the user could simply toggle the waterfall display off? That could be an easy way to avoid the problem until a better solution presents itself?

What are other seeing with the power levels? I have a QRP Labs dummy load that I connect my volt meter to get a peak voltage reading.

The chugging sound is actually from the I2C lines to the Pico processor
that is on the same board as the speaker. They are absent with the head

Point of caution! Noticed the battery pigtail has bare wires exposed probably when stripping outer insulation. Could short if wires twisted. ?Easy to fix however .

Re: zBitX ft8 TX signal comes speaker
Hi Ben, -- did you email HFSignals themselves (this is a user group) and
inquire about returning it for a replacement (or if you prefer, refund)?
Perhaps they can help you.
