Re: Tariffs and zBitx Shipments
#zbitx
Tariffs are kind of a moving target but your radio shouldn't be affected due to the de minimis exception.
Awaiting my new toy, but wondering what, if any, impact the new tariffs announced by the US will have on shipments to the US.?

...the radio completely spoils the joy because of too many shortcomings .
I think purchases of HF=signals should be avoided...
I want to enjoy the hobby and not be constantly annoyed by immature

Re: Does zBitx have SWR display?
I’ve done both. Showing zBitx 1.06 and sbitx 3.021 as the versions.

Mine doesn’t seem to do that. I’ve never seen a power output or SWR there.

Re: Video: Timing problems with zBitx internal keyer
I am seeing improvement over the code that was shipped, but still issues and my own keying matches that which John posted in his video.

Re: Zbitx RPI SD-card image needed
I assume that once I flash the image? I will have to open up the zbitx and replacce the sd card with the new one.
Would be nice to be able to boot from the new card via usb and then use the sdcard copy utility to restore to the original card.

Unfortunately exactly the same with my zBITX.

Re: Video: Timing problems with zBitx internal keyer
Yep, it’s missing a lot of your leading dots, suggesting that the sampling just ?isn’t fast enough. ?So your W started with dashes, and a lot of other characters are similarly mangled
?
?
It was also very disconcerting when it didn’t work right on the sBitx before, once the sampling went up much faster it became very nice?
?
Hopefully this will all get eventually settled out; We did on the sBitx , but it took a long time. ?Mike johnshoy was the solution

Hallo!
After updating the zBitx software and firmware, the zBitx no longer starts properly. Repeating the update does not work..

What can I do to get the zBitx working?
