I am concerned about this as well. I placed an order yesterday for a uBitX V6 and I would like to know if there are currently any delays in processing orders.

Rajesh,
I am not familiar with the larc version software.? I am pretty sure that it will not work with the KD8CEC Memory Manager, though it does appear to have a CAT routine.? A quick look at the code also suggests that the menu functions are the same, so the standard v3 or v4 process should work.

1 - Set the BFO first to be able to receive an AM signal.
2 - Calibrate the frequency displayed
3 - Reset the BFO

Setting the BFO and the Calibration should be a menu item that comes up after you turn on the settings option in the menu system.? For each of the 3 calibration steps, you will need to perform the following:
a - Press the encoder button to enter the menu
b - Rotate the encoder to get to the settings selection
c - Press the encoder. The screen will go back to the frequency display.
d - Press the encoder again to enter the expanded menu selections
e - Select either the BFO or Calibration option depending on which step in the process you are on.
f - Perform the process
g - Press the PTT to save the value
h - Wait 15 seconds for the data to be written to the EEPROM
i - Turn off the rig and then turn it back on to test the new setting.

For the BFO setting, I use the BFO Tuning Aid from Ashhar Farhan:

The steps are explained in the video for the v6, just remember that the controls are different, The steps, how to use the tools, and results should be the same:


The way that I would approach getting the rig updated would be to first get it working as it is, doing the calibrations and verifying that all is working.? I would then go to the KD8CEC firmware (software) using the same Nano, as that is where the calibrations are stored.? If you want to save the current Nano as is, then you will need to redo the calibration steps on the new Nano to get it aligned correctly.? The last thing would be to upgrade the display.

I hope the above is clear enough to get you going in the correct direction.

Rajesh,

The current KD8CEC Memory Manager version I believe is 1.11.? Here is the link to the GitHub repository:


And Dr. Lee's webpage that explains what needs to be done for the "stock" software from HF Signals if you do not use the KD8CEC software. NOTE: you did not specify which version of the software (firmware as some state) that you are using.


My suggestion is to upgrade to the KD8CEC software if you are going to change out what is currently on your uBITX.? There are added features, without losing any of the stock functionality.? Of course, adding the Nextion graphic display makes those features easier to use.

Be sure to use the uBITXV234 files, as the uBITXV5 has a different SSB filter value (12.000 MHz vs 11.059 MHz)

The calibration settings will be different for each Raduino/uBITX combination, so you can use another as a starting point, but will need to do the calibration steps for your boards.?

NOTE: With the HF Signals stock software, every time you go into calibration or BFO setting you start from a default value.? The old value is overwritten when you save the new value, and you cannot read the current value with the unmodified stock software.? Be sure to write down any changes and fully power down and restart the uBITX to test changes.??

NOTE: You should do the calibration ONLY if there are problems with your uBITX.? You can get things out of adjustment and could have a difficult time getting back to the starting point.? That is one of the advantages of going to the KD8CEC software; you can save calibrations and easily restore to prior settings.? The same for upgrading the software; only do it if the features are something that you want, and that you are willing to learn how to do the upload process.

Sorry, I did not know where to turn for help after 10 days went by and no reply to my email.

The link you posted did not work for me.? It shows up as???? sales@ with 3 dots behind it in my outlook email program.

I sent my email to sales at
