Re: CW on zbitx
Eric, thank you very much for performing that test. I read through your code and I think that you are calling modem poll on every tick.

Re: CW on zbitx

There are two versions of the Nano's boot loader: one for original miniUSB-connected devices and the other for USB-C devices. This is a generalization, so there can be exceptions.

Is there a reason you didn't start a new thread for your very specific request for technical assistance from Ashar?

Ashhar -- We are having issues programming the NANO (Rabuino) with KD8cec

Among the questions is sbitx v3, which cannot update v3.051.

#zBitx Tilt Stand for zBitx anyone?
#zbitx
Has anyone found or devised a suitable tilt stand for the zBitx?
The rear panel is a heat sink so likely stick-on tilt feet would become "unstuck" with the heat.

Re: CW decode
Andrew,
You can read about cw on zbitx in the forum search, but don't expect a quick solution. The situation is better on 64-bit sbitx.
