Re: zbitx cw keyer
“Git stash” fixed the problem.? CW works perfectly now with v3.051 up to 25wpm (only limited by my fist).? Thank you.? On Mon, Mar 31, 2025 at 23:06 Ashhar Farhan via <farhanbox=[email protected]> wrote:

Initial Impressions
Spent about an hour with the radio and so far I'm pretty impressed with what it can do for that price.
Firstly, follow the videos on YouTube. Connect to your WiFi and then update all software, the process is simple and elegant versus some other radios I have.?
Fits my needs for how I operate. Did I mention the value versus cost?? Getting out in the field tomorrow.? Ed N2KVZ |
Re: zbitx cw keyer
type? git stash? and then run ./update that should fix it. were you looking at some source code that got modified by mistake? - f On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 9:34?AM Bill AG5ZN via <wrstrand=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: zbitx cw keyer
I tried to update to 3.051, but I got this error message: “Error: your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: sbitx Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge. 础产辞谤迟颈苍驳” On Mon, Mar 31, 2025 at 20:48 Ashhar Farhan via <farhanbox=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: zbitx Power
These are the set? I was using at the time of testing.? ?Looks?like they aren't really designed for a?constant high current?discharge,? I have a number of other batteries which I will have to dig up the specs to see if I have any set of batts that will handle the current?needed on tx.?

Re: Zbitx arrived today
Can do. I will bung this into the SET(tings) of the front panel. - f On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 8:29?AM David T-- VE3TOS via <digiital=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: zbitx Power
You will get 5w if your power supply holds to 8.4 volts o transmit? i can see from your readings that the dc supply is dipping to 6.8v on transmit. This indicates that the power supply is current starved On Tue, Apr 1, 2025, 8:08 AM David T-- VE3TOS via <digiital=[email protected]> wrote:

zbitx Power
?
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 voltage on the radio is 7.7v, drops down to about 6.8-6.9v when tx. The Driver is set to 100 on all of the tests, and the mode was 2TONE.
When I tx into the dummy load. Based on the calculation its showing I'm outputting about:
?
Band? |? DummyLoad? |? Radio
80m? ? ? ? ? ? 2.5w? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?3w
40m? ? ? ? ? ? 2.8w? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?3w
20m? ? ? ? ? ? 2.4w? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?3w
17m? ? ? ? ? ? 2.8w? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?3w
15m? ? ? ? ? ? 2.2w? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?3w
10m? ? ? ? ? ? 1.25w? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?2w
?
I'm thinking that's on the lower power levels than I would have expected. Are others seeing the same thing ??

Re: Zbitx arrived today
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 phones.? If I reduce?the data running on the I2C lines the chugging sound goes away. I hope that in a future update we will be able to compress the data (most of it is the waterfall data). - f On Tue, Apr 1, 2025 at 4:12?AM Andrew via <roland.andrew=[email protected]> wrote:

zbitx cw keyer
I have updated the zbitx keyer with a minor update. the new software update version of sbitx is now 3.051 (moving from 3.05). Can the cw users try out this version and let me know? I could manage upto 25 wpm (my paddle skills are lousy) You have to just run ./update to get to the new version - f |
