Re: zBitx doesn't start up
My zBitx is now running!? I followed Frank's procedure, after a brief delay for amazon to deliver a new SD card. Now I just have to learn how to use it :-) thanks to all Dave, VE3WI

zBitx RX/Speaker Problems
Hello, my zBitx is not usable out of the box, when switching on, you can already hear the splattering in the loudspeaker, as far as I have found out, it is probably due to the display and the pico. If

Just confirmed that it will build if you stash the changes to that file (not sure why it ships with uncommitted changes? Haven't seen that documented anywhere). Also, I had the wrong link to the front

Re: Activate auto-hotspot on zBitx?
I took a different approach setting up a unused cell phone as a hotspot and connecting the zbitx to it and the running the web interface from that phone. Leo, AI5Ii [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Activate auto-hotspot on zBitx?
Thanks for the reply, Dave. There is no Ethernet connection on the zBitX, only HDMI for a monitor and USB for keyboards and a mouse or whatever. The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W does have bluetooth and WiFi

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
Fantastic work! Mixer termination;: I think I remember 50 ohm termination of a mixer in the sbitx being an issue at one point, too, with sbitx¡ What about a simple RC termination with R=50 and c set

Re: zBitx +-2 MHz transmit spurs? --> SHOWSTOPPER for transmitting
Hi Ron; C22 is not too hard to get at. First find the 7805 voltage regulator, which is attached to the heat sink. Q3 is close to the 7805 and the crystal filter network. Once you identify the emitter

Re: zBitx macro selection?
I too have been wondering about this. The ability to have different macro files is a very powerful feature, but other then the web interface I don't see how to select them or how the default one is

Re: zBitx macro selection?
So, it appears that different macros can only be selected from web mode? What macros are used by the standalone radio for each mode? Ie how does the radio know what macro buttons to display and use?
