Re: Zbitx at 12vdc
Ryan,
Similar to the bitx40, one line to the radio with a regulator and a separate power line to the mosfets directly from the power supply. That way there is no need to modify the radio

Ron,
Unless a reason comes up for not doing this in the meantime, I'll do it tonight and let you know.

Re: CW on zbitx
Anyone who can run a command-line on their zbitx want to try the following bash script to see if it improves keying latency:

PID=`pidof sbitx`

Re: Alternate power source for zbitx
The voltage from that four cell LFP back is much too high for the sBitx. A
three cell LFP would be a better option, though even that is a bit outside
the specified 6-9V range when fully charged. Three

I finally got around to changing my display name.
The videos I shot for Iambic A were at 650 delay. However, I also toyed around with the the latency down to 200 still worked fine. I have been

Re: Alternate power source for zbitx
I use them for my 12 volt radios. It would be nice if we cold find a 3cell LiFePo4 battery. LiFePo4 is safer and has a flatter discharge curve.

Re: Alternate power source for zbitx
Those are nice packs Mike, but they are 12V and would have to be Stepped down to make the zBitx happy at 8.4V.

SPLIT won't activate

I tried to activate SPLIT using the on-screen keypad (in CW). Neither pressing the button nor turning the VFO knob with the selected SPLIT button turned SPLIT ON. Did I forget to do something?

Re: Fixed: cw latency and wsjtx/flidigi sidetone
Hello Farhan
My feedback on your question...
Iambic A with a delay of 350 works for me safely up to 28 wpm, mistakes up to that and with higher speeds are mostly made by myself ;-)

Re: Zbitx at 12vdc
Ryan,
Looking at the schematic, what if you separate the 9v input for the finals drain and feed 14v to it. That way you can use just one 8v regulator to the rest of the system.
