Asher,
Is there a way to export the FT8 QSO’s in ADIF format from the SQLite DB? ?Or are they also saved in ADIF format in a separate file?
My unit has not shipped yet. So I can’t poke around

Re: CW on zbitx
Calling anywhere from 5 to 10 times more frequently would probably result in significant improvement. In the sBitx software, he increased it to 20 times more frequently and it was amazing.

Re: Strain Relief mod for Power Cable
Double check your positive lead, I think I see some bare copper in your

Re: CW on zbitx
Ashar, no not cw_poll(), it is modem_poll() that is not getting called often enough. In sbitx_gtk.c this call is at line #4257 inside of ui_tick(). modem_poll() in turn decides what to do for each

Chris,
This is an interesting aside, but the logbook saves all the qsos in an
sqlite3 database. It is in a file called sbitx.db3 under ~/sbitx/data

Re: Any updates in the new batch of zbitx that is open for orders now?
There will be no hardware changes to the circuitry at all. We are using the
same gerber for all the batches.

Re: CW on zbitx
Mike,
Thr cw_poll is not the one the one that is doing the actual keying. See
cw_read_key() in https://github.com/afarhan/zbitx/blob/main/modem_cw.c#L312
This is the function that is in turn called
