sBITX V2 TX no output
sBITX V2 TX problems
Have received a new sBitx V2.
RX is OK! TX no output, no matter in which mode.
PTT switches correctly!
Hardware is OK, works with software V1 without problems.

Re: sBitx V2 SN #141 Spurious/Harmonic Measurements
Gordon,
The early QDX kit builders (I was one) had to rework the first released boards of the QDX to remove four SMD 47uH chokes and replace them with through-hole inductors.? The reason given was

#sBitx FFT filtering question
#sBitx
I’m trying to understand the receive filtering in sBitx. I’ve been studying and experimenting with Ashar’s well commented code in the function rx_process in sBitx.c. As I understand it, the

Re: sBitx V2 SN #141 Spurious/Harmonic Measurements
This site’s data graph suggests that some of these diodes could work in our application. Do we just have some bad ringers?

Re: the new site
I think Carl was referring to a separate (breakout) forum just for the sBitx, not an actual breakout board.

Re: sBitx V2 SN #141 Spurious/Harmonic Measurements
Evan -- so in this case, I am *using* the 10meter filter.? ? ?Its knee is at 32-ish MHz and appears to be used for 15 meters as well.? ? At least I hope I am!
These data seem to prove that we

Re: An alternative for sBitx software development
I have trained myself to love vi. It is a single lightweight editor that is
available on every platform from linux to android.
It is has a little bit of learning curve of an hour, but you get used to

Re: uBitX v4.3 calibration
Not wrong at all. I used 10Mhz, per the instructions, but using the freq counter got me quite close. Thank you.

Re: sBitx V2 SN #141 Spurious/Harmonic Measurements
Gordon,
The voltage doubler is applied to both input and output diodes.? Maybe the 10-meter filter is turning on enough to allow the harmonics through?? Just a guess.
All,
Has anyone else seen the

Re: sBitx V2 SN #141 Spurious/Harmonic Measurements
Yes, thanks, Bill and Evan.
The 1N4007 is certainly not specified or intended for PIN service ; it just happens to have an intrinsic layer. Not sure how thick, and it’s one very big reason I’m

Gordon,
The diode you listed in your post has a max reverse voltage of 50 volts.? That is 13 volts short of the 63 volts I calculate for 40 watts in a pure resistive 50-ohm load.? I have found that

Re: sBitx Raspios Bookworm
Alsa is always there (it is the driver + userland support). Bookworm uses by default pipewire (on top of alsa), but you can just remove it if it causes trouble.

Didn't Bookworm change the sound system?
Is alsa supported anymore?

Re: sBitx Raspios Bookworm
That's good information. Somehow, I got the impression that sBitx required Buster. It may have been something to do with the fact that WiringPi has been removed from the Bullseye
