Grover,
The picture from Amie C. is of a v6 that the stock screen was replaced with a Nextion 2.8" touch screen.? There is a software update of the uBITX Nano to the KD8CEC software, and the correct .tft file loaded onto the Nextion screen.? The stock screen is not used.
Here is a PDF of how it was done by one of the first to try the replacement:
Have fun both using and modifying the uBITX.? It is good at both.

I'm new at al this; just got? my (used) Version 6 with whatever the large screen it. What software gives you that lovely screen? If I can install it I would be quite happy.

Reed,
As a newbie, my vote doesn't count for much. For what it might be worth though, you've got my vote. I wasn't smart enough to recognize this shortcoming in the stock v6 software, but I am very glad I am using your software!
Thanks,
Stephen

Hi Ron,
I will have a closer look at the CEC software I already have. I recall the reason I installed it was because the CW keying was unsatisfactory and the CEC software fixed that. I have the memory manager but I think it didn't work with my Linux system. I will have to have another go at that or look in the menu system for a way to select that.
Ashar has told us that he is a SSB operator and not a CW guy. The uBitX is like other radios that have CW included as an afterthought. They need a little help:) For the price a little help is not unreasonable.

My opinion is that the frequency displayed should be the carrier (suppressed carrier if in SSB, and actual carrier in CW). This is how my R1.5.0 software version operates, how TSW's Teensy software displays, and how off-the-shelf radios like ICOM rigs work. There are lots of good reasons to have the TX carrier be the value shown on screen, and if you read through the above linked threads, many of them are explicitly listed.
However, it is NOT how the stock v6 software operates. The stock v6 software transmits CW at the listening frequency. So if your stock v6 shows 7.025.000 on the dial and you have a 800Hz tone set, then you actually transmit at 7.024.200, NOT the frequency shown on the screen! This is the root of Jerry's problem. His reference rig is correctly displaying the desired TX frequency, and if he were to key up with his reference rig, he'd need to tune his uBiTX screen to display 800Hz ABOVE that frequency to get the right tone, not the 800Hz tone offset frequency that the stock v6 uBiTX is transmitting on.
The fix isn't RIT - this isn't an issue of the receivers disagreeing with the transmitters. The fix is to change the frequency displayed on the uBiTX screen to show the actual transmitted carrier frequency.

I am not saying that it would not work it is just not compatible with standard CW practice. If you display receive frequency then it is possible to be transmitting outside the band limits.

After a while, you may find that the degree of offset/RIT used is a more constant receive offset. This is what I do when using CW. Either this or get used to another receive tone than the one you may now be used to. This may or may not be the same frequency as the CW sidetone that you hear with transmitting.

Your radio is programmed to do that. It's the CW offset. The frequency
displayed is the frequency your radio is set to receive on SSB. That is
the same as the TX frequency for SSB. On CW it is not. When USB is
selected along with CW your TX frequency is 800 Hz higher. With LSB it
is 800 Hz lower. If you change the CW offset the 800 gets changed to
whatever you have selected for your CW offset.
With the programming in your radio it seems to be perfectly aligned.

The stock software offsets like Bill said. If you want the transmit to match the dial, try loading my software on your radio instead. One of the changes I made was to make the dial frequency be the carrier for both CW and SSB.
