Re: Alsa loopback not working
Rafael, If the device is in use by the sbitx software, could if be used on another application?? For example, to use wsjtx I have to shutdown fldigi for it to work. Let me know if I'm wrong. Juan

Re: Troubles with output RF and modulation
Hi Evan, I did what you suggested, and now I have 10W on 20m and 5W on all other bands.? Originally, however, I had different powers for each band thanks to the calibration of HF Signal for the

Alsa loopback not working
Hi all, In order to test if I can play / capture audio tru the alsa loopback, I just opened audacity and tried to capture... nothing. Audio comes out nicely over the gtk ui, and also over the web ui.

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
Farhan, ITs not the device loading its the posible reverse path due to that parts failure. Fr example if that mosfet develops a gat to dran short then the GPIO pin sees 12V and that's bad. the uln2003

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
Thanks, Lou. That thread is very illuminating, especially Allison¡¯s comments. I believe I put in a 78L05 ahead of a1117 because of that suggestion. There¡¯s a lot more information there that¡¯s

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
Gary, Refer to https://github.com/afarhan/sbitx/blob/main/sbitx_main.pdf The pa bias is derived from 12v tx line that is switched by a mosfet. It is not driven by gpio. The uln2003 have a very light

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
If sBitx V1 schematic on github is correct, Main board's C66 (0.1uF) is being driven directly by the pi.? Cap load without an added current limiting series resistor. Surprised that so many TX

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
Paul The v2 does not use LM338, it uses a switching regulator. We also use a 7805 step down that feeds the 1117s. There are 3.3v zeners on all external facing gpio pins - f [email protected]>

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
While I wait for my sbitx v2, I have noticed there are no 'backward facing' clamp diodes on the fixed regulators that prevent the regulated output voltage (VOUT) exceeding the input voltage (VIN) on

Thank you Ashhar.? If I understand what you are saying, with version 2.5.4 of WSJT-X it did not reset the USB port, but they changed something in the code for WSJT-X 2.6.1 so that it does reset the

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
I found the Rpi output (and inputs) are fragile based on data sheets. So one of the mods I made and wrote about maybe 5-6 months ago were to buffer all lines out to the main board and and diodes and

Re: sBitx Developer¡¯s Edition (v1) ¡ª how to protect the RPi4?
Mark, If you monitor the current draw of sbitx, it is well under 1A on receive. There is no way the rpi can draw more. There is some other reason, not low voltage. The low voltage warning happens
