Re: A short video of sBitx working
The spec sheet is on https://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/sbitx/ You could transmit on 630 khz. I am not sure if the PA transformer inductance will be enough that low. The exciter will work right down

Re: Drive potmeters?
The pots to set the IRF510 bias on the uBitx and Bitx40 were backwards from what most people would expect. My best guess is that the sBitx follows this unfortunate tradition since pin 3 of RV1 and RV3

Re: sBitx doubt
Very nice schematic, easy to read! Thanks Charu. * Your Logic input Vi pin 6 / U4 FST3157 is DC isolated from CLK2 and is DC biased by RV1. I would have a direct Vi input from U3 SI5351 with 3.3V

Re: A short video of sBitx working
Don't see any reason it would not receive ok down there. though you may need to hack the RPi software some. The stock sBitx is not appropriate for transmitting on 630 meters. There is no transmit low
