Re: Mike Black W9MDB SK
Thanks Ken, N2VIP for keeping an eye on what's going on.
Unfortunately, many people ignore all respect and understanding regarding the deceased amateur.
Unfortunately, this policy comes from the street and spares no one.
I thought about calling the questioner's attention, but who am I to instruct him in order. A 74-year-old old man who knows how much time he has left, because our fate is not only influenced by our actions.
For me, Mike, W9MDB helped a lot at the end of December last year, when I asked in another forum how to eliminate the error message 'Error in SoundInput'. Since then, with his help, I can use the jtdx program on sbitx without restarting.
So my thanks go to Mike, which I did back then in response. ?

Re: Mike Black W9MDB SK
Hello Rick,
?
There are two versions of the Nano's boot loader: one for original miniUSB-connected devices and the other for USB-C devices. This is a generalization, so there can be exceptions.
?
The secret is to change the processor in the tools menu:
?
?
If one does not work, try the other.? All of the USB-C Nanos use the ATmega328 processor.
?
The other potential issue is the size of the bootloader file.? If the KD8CEC program will not fit, some options are selected in the ubitx.h file:
?

Not selecting the FN_WSPR frees up the most memory. The display plays a role as well. There are two suggested feature lists:

Setting define to 0 removes that feature from the program.
?
I hope the above helps.

Re: WSJT-X/Rigctl Configuration Issues - Need Info
Try this. I have seen this happen.? Select the mode and don't keep clicking it with the stylus. But highlight the mode and then use the knob to go up or down to select the mode. Should bring up the correct ft 8 screen? On Sat, Apr 5, 2025, 7:44?AM matjaz via <matjaz_zejn=[email protected]> wrote:

Among the questions is sbitx v3, which cannot update v3.051. The name is unfortunate. If you don't read the forum regularly, you will think that v3.051 is a new sbitx version, while this is the firmware version number used by the zbitx hardware. While the manufacturer is shifting the responsibility of providing help to the forum. We are also just users and customers with different knowledge and expertise. --

#zBitx Tilt Stand for zBitx anyone?
#zbitx
Has anyone found or devised a suitable tilt stand for the zBitx?
The rear panel is a heat sink so likely stick-on tilt feet would become "unstuck" with the heat.
I'd be interested in what users have come up with to achieve a viewing tilt stable against screen touches.
