Gordon KX4Z, for the rest of us that are not C++ guys, when will this be?implemented?
Will this go for the front panel or the main unit?

not even with an external keyer because Straight-Key doesn't even work clean and correct.

Gordon ,
exactly this was the reason for to get only 2...3 watts output.
Antenna not 50 ohms .

I don't know about Ashhar's specific circuitry, but many of these "power" measurement systems actually measure VOLTAGE and presume 50 ohms and calculate the power using Ohms Law etc.
?
If your actual impedance of your load is 25 ohms (not 50) then you will actually have FAR more output power than these kinds of systems will report.?? They are only accurate into 50 ohms precisely, zero reactance.
?
Again, I haven't looked at exactly how Ashhar does his system.?? You can check this by comparing YOUR output power into a 50 ohm dummy load, and then with the same settings, into your antenna.??? If there is a difference in reported power....your antenna isn't 50 ohms and the system is being "fooled."
?
I hope this helps.?? Accurate power measurement is quite an effort, which is why such equipment is often so terribly expensive!? Ashhar MIGHT have actually measured current, voltage and phase and computed, but few people do this.??

Re: #zBitx Tilt Stand for zBitx anyone? #zbitx

 

Bill,
please let me know how you fix the heatsinks? What material is between the heatsink and the housing?
Received my zbitx yesterday and operating from a 9.3 volt source (closed housing meanwell 12 v switching unit, adjustable down to minimum 9.3 v) heated up the backplate extremly.

If you add -vvvv to your call to start up RIGCTL then you will get lots and lots of messages that might give you a clue what is going wrong

So hamlib on the zbitx is not stable in my opinion from what I am seeing.
A question for the techies.
I know that I can install the current hamlib-4.6.2.
How do I rebuild the sbitx application excluding the current hamlib.c & hamlib.h that come with the git main repository pull and use hamlib-4.6.2 that I will install?
Are there any command line options like with make and cmake to point to the new hamlib directory instead of using what is in the sbitx directory?

Bitx40 for sale

 

Hi everyone!
?
I was digging though the shack the other day? and stumbled across this bitx40 I purchased years ago. I've lost interest in it, and most likely will never go any further than what I've done.
?
It receiver great, but i've never even applied power to the TX stages.
The original radionano (?) is there and it works, too.
There is a large color display and W8TEE software loaded in the ardunio nano. For reason I have long forgotten about, the project never moved forward.
?
So, $75 and I'll ship it within the continental USA.
?
What you see in the box is all I have. If I find more stuff, I'll be sure to toss it into the box.
?
contact me off list at
?
prosolar at sss net dot com??? (there is only ONE DOT in there)
?
or check out my qrz page for email link
?
and, if no selling allowed, delete this posting

I've tried all the suggestions and setting from various emails on how to get wsjtx to transmit on my zbitx.
None of them work for me. Receive works just fine but when I do the "check cat" button nothing happens when I hit tune wsjtx goes thru the transmit motions. Same is true if I hit "auto cq". Wsjtx acts like it is transmitting but is not actually putting the zbitx into transmit.
I am getting hamlib protocol errors.
CAT is kinda working as I can change bands.
I am also seeing rigctl timeout errors if I use rigctl to connect to the zbitx.
Is it just? me or does anyone else have these issues.
FYI, I browsed the hamlib.c file and there is a comment in there about it being receive only.
Much help? is needed here.

Does anyone have a solution to wsjtx not transmitting on zbitx?

Gyula,

The only CAT problem I've ever had is with my neighbors cat demanding pets from me:), other than that I have never posted anything about CAT control, I don't use it., you must have me confused with someone else.

Joel,
you are correct, for which I apologize. I read about what I misremembered here: sBitx WSJT-X cat control problem
The letters of the name and callsign are partly the same... but I was wrong.
