Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
My feelings on this issue is that the IDC male header should have been put on the opposite side from the encoders. Barry Sent from Mail for Windows Sent: Wednesday, January 3, 2024 6:08

Re: FT8 Pull Request submitted - Signal Level "+" sign
Preface: I know almost nothing about coding. My question is, how will the logging program respond to a 0(zero) report value since it is unsigned? David

FT8 Pull Request submitted - Signal Level "+" sign
Just submitted a PR to add a "+" sign to FT8 signal reports that are not negative (including the "+" for positive signal levels does appear to be the FT8 convention) The change is very simple to

I bet it¡¯s something simple. It won¡¯t be long before we have it figured out! after you figure something out it always seems simple, but when it first happens it¡¯s very perplexing!! Gordon

Not all of my screen shots came through for some reason. Varying power levels don't matter. I paid for a warranty and am expecting the manufacturer chime in and resolve this issue..

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
My earlier thought was to remove the female ribbon connector and replace the ribbon cable with a ten conductor shielded cable soldered directly to the encoder board, then put that encoder into a case

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
Yes Dave, you are correct, the V3 board is on the top and the V2 board on the bottom. The V2 encoders where just barely holding on by about 2-3 threads, I was very careful not to to over tighten them

Re: New V3 encoder shaft problem.
Interesting.? I had already eyeballed that situation and was planning to investigate further, but you beat me to it. I presume your photo shows the V3 encoders with the shorter threads on the top,

New V3 encoder shaft problem.
When I received my V3 board a couple of weeks ago I just swapped the new board in for the old V2 board, leaving everything else in place. Everything has been mostly working until this morning, the

That might be an over-simplification of what I wrote.? I don't think I've made an extensive enough exploration to reach the conclusion that it doesn't work, all I've concluded so far is that it gets

Re: sBitx V3 - TX output is fine but the SWR measurement is always 1.0 #sBITX_v3 #help
For what it's worth: Most of the time mine shows SWR of 1.0. I am using an ATU-100 tuner, and when I switch bands and tune up, the SWR meter on the radio fluctuates quite a lot until the tuner

It sounds like most everybody's results are the same, the SWR meter does not work in V3. Joel N6ALT

Re: sBitx V3 - TX output is fine but the SWR measurement is always 1.0 #sBITX_v3 #help
Interesting.? I find with my V3 it is under-reporting the output power, two different external power meters report higher values than the internal one. Perhaps this (

The one simple potential fix is to reflow the connections to L400 through L403.? There could be an open circuit in one of the connections.? It looks like it is easy to get to the connection from the
