Re: sBitx v3 - next final MOSFET killed
I get it. 100%. I have still bought, and likely will in the future, buy HF products. My only issue is that to those newer, less experienced hobbyists, the products are billed as both, works out of the

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs?
I found a note where I had seen 2MHz spurs. You can see them in the
screen of the spectrum analyzer.

Re: Should I start with uBITX, sBITX or zBITX?
I started building radios in the late 1960's. I realized one had to be a metal worker and own an expensive set of chassis punches to work with tubes so I quickly migrated to solid state. We could only

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs?
Ron, when I was working on one of the used sBitx V2's that I bought I had
problems with spurs 4MHz or so off, and I believe I recall a 2MHz absolute
spur once. Of course the low pass filters won't

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs?
Has anyone else looked for transmitter spurs from their zbitx? I'm wondering whether I got a build that can be fixed somehow ...

Re: Fixed: cw latency and wsjtx/flidigi sidetone
I stand corrected. I confused the 2 W with the previous Pi Zero. ?If running on a quad core, it should be possible to lock down the keyer process so it never gets suspended or delayed or otherwise

Re: Should I start with uBITX, sBITX or zBITX?
Jon,
The 1625 had a 12.6 volt filament instead of the 6.3 volt filament of the 807 but the plate voltage was still high voltage.
Earlier auto radios developed the high voltage for the plate via a

JJ,
Thanks a lot.
Any idea whether sBITX v4 is likely to ship with your 64 bit version of
software?

Re: Fixed: cw latency and wsjtx/flidigi sidetone
I just tried an external keyer with the radio set to straight key, and on a dummy load. The keyer is set to 17 WPM. Listening on a nearby receiver I can hear incomplete characters and the odd missing

Re: Fixed: cw latency and wsjtx/flidigi sidetone
Unfortunately this update didn't fix the issues.
First, IambicB is still broken, I put Ron Carr's fix in a PR.
Second, when I took the radio out and attached it to a EFRW, through a tuner, on

Gerry,
Thanks a lot for the detailed suggestions, especially as you own all three
versions.
I did not know that there is a 12V version of 807! I thought that all
vacuum tubes need high voltage. I

Re: Fixed: cw latency and wsjtx/flidigi sidetone
Before this goes much further, we should correct the record. The Pi Zero 2W
does not have a single core processor. It has a quad core of the Pi 3B+
era, but with half the memory of that board. Thus

Re: sBitx v3 - next final MOSFET killed
If you haven't noticed by now, HF Signals doesn't care if some people are unhappy with the product.
Profit and sales come from the fact that you can produce things cheaply.
