ZbitX battery holder wiring
Point of caution! Noticed the battery pigtail has bare wires exposed probably when stripping outer insulation. Could short if wires twisted. ?Easy to fix however .

Re: zBitX ft8 TX signal comes speaker
Hi Ben, -- did you email HFSignals themselves (this is a user group) and
inquire about returning it for a replacement (or if you prefer, refund)?
Perhaps they can help you.

Re: zBitX ft8 TX signal comes speaker
I'm beginning to regret my decision to purchase this device.
It's clearly defective and does not work and no support is being offered.
If I do not receive an answer soon I'll be inquiring with

Re: Zbitx arrived today
I received mine today as well, very exciting! I upgraded the software to
1.05/3.05, everything seems to work. I noticed the "chugging" as well,

Re: LATEST .UF2 FILE
The "git checkout main" fixed my problem as well. All is working properly now.
I'm going to add a comment to the issue and close it, since it's working now.

Re: New sBitx V3 to me
Gyula,
Thanks for the detailed operations but I think I answered my own question.

This type of connector is a pretty generic thing. It doesn't have a name like 'powerpole' or 'JST'. Per the drawing of the part I use in my product, it's called: Box Header, Right Angle PCB Mount, 2

Re: New sBitx V3 to me
You have a uSD card with a 32-bit operating system, which is located in the uSD card slot of the built-in RPi4.

Thanks Jeff and Gyula (I went through this thread and saw the website. I don’t think the name of the connector is there. Or maybe I missed it).

Re: New sBitx V3 to me
Did you make the image on the new SD card with a program like Balena

Re: LATEST .UF2 FILE
If the sbitx version doesnt show 3.05 after update, you maybe on the wrong
