I feel like I've fallen off the earth.? I was busy playing along with my sbitx DE and suddenly we got the idea to move back to our home state after.. decades.
Anyway, all SBITX DE went in a box..

Re: Purchase question for NA and Canada
DHL is the most reasonable of the bunch, for my zBitx I paid $20 for the brokerage fee and $11 GST if I recall correctly - I live in Alberta. You can clear your own packages and the process is

Probably not in most countries; we’ve never seen such crazy leadership anywhere else AFAIK. Anything that cannot continue must eventually come to an end.

I want filters: be able to toggle between everything and unique CQs only, at least (back and forth dynamically, not only for incoming packets the way WSJT-X does). Maybe eventually other filters,

I suspect your powersupply is shutting down.
3.4 watt on sbit is fine for ft8
