Re: zBitx macro selection?

 

So, it appears that different macros can only be selected from web mode?
What macros are used by the standalone radio for each mode? Ie how does the radio know what macro buttons to display and use? Is the cw1.mc file always the one used for cw?
Macro file selection might be another good UI option on the Menu screen.?

Has anyone published a fix for this exact issue as yet?

Ok i try this, becouse in my lab I don't have an antenna.

Very good, well done!

I use the single frequency sine wave.?
Re: old calibrating uBITX

 

Evan thanks for the reply. I am using the K8CEC fw v.1.21 on 20x4 display.
The generator you are using, do you put it in AM modulation or pure sine wave?
Anyway I found the site https://itshamradio.com/bfo-tuning-aid-ubitx/, where there is the same app as Faharan

Frank.? Thanks for the comprehensive information.? I will try that.

Re: Any update on ft8 messenger you mentioned before?

 

Still haven't had a chance to dig into the software, so I'm not sure if this is expected by default or a change on your end, but the error is just that there are local changes to a file that haven't been added to the git repository. The fix is likely simple, though you do run the risk of tying yourself in git knots. Probably worth a trip to YouTube university (or making sure to have a backup).

If you want to soldier ahead, two methods would be:

1. Revert any changes and try again.

Running "git stash" will restore that file to it's canonical state in the repository. You can return your changes by running "git stash apply"

2. Save the changes

To add the changes to the repo, there are two steps. After navigating to the root directory of the repo, you can "stage" all changes to files already present by running:

"git add -u ./"

Then, you can commit:

git commit -m "my changes"

Then you can try updating again. If git can't figure out how to merge the changes, it will put both versions in the file in question and ask you to edit them manually (pain).

In the meantime, one really nice tool for looking at the current state of the repository is gitk, which can be installed via apt. Just install and run while in the repository: "gitk", and it will pop up a GUI with changes. Then you can see what's up with that file (I'm assuming it's a file and not something more complicated like a submodule).

Will try to fire this up later today or tomorrow to see for myself.

Re: Out of the box unusable on CW

 

i got my unit on May 20th.? I have been slowly working all the modes and frequencies.?
?
I have the same problem with paddle when trying to send above 17 or 18wpm it seems.? Also, if i run stand alone (no external monitor or no web mode) then the macros seem to work fine but when ever in non-stand alone mode, as you said they start and stop part way thru.? I have found no pattern to it.? The stopping seems random
?
I also can't get straight key to work very well.? I am starting to read thru the emails to see when I can find on these issues.

Hi Antonio,

What software are you using for the Nano?? That can influence the calibration method.

Since it is receive only, zero beating is the best solution that I know of.? Any known CW, AM, or FM source in the receive area can work.? Tune the radio to the signal source frequency (I use a known, accurate signal generator) and follow the general steps of:
1 - Adjust the BFO to receive the low-frequency audio tones by positioning the plateau to the left of the 300 to 3,000 Hz range
2 - Calibrate the Master frequency using the zero beat method
3 - Readjust the BO to center the audio plateau between 300 and 3,000 Hz.

Here is a v6 video to do the calibration:

Re: old calibrating uBITX

 

Sbitx v3 frequency off by 300 hz

 

?Can anyone tell me how to adjust the frequency offset on the Sbitx? To hear any frequency ie 7.196 I have to use 7.196.3 ¡­ the truSDX has a setting for this and I am hoping this radio does as well.

Thanks in advance, Niles. KC8RJH

old calibrating uBITX

 

Hi everyone, I built a uBitx v5 (so 11.059 filter) from scratch only receiver. I know it's an obsolete and trite topic, but I wanted to ask you if there is a good method to calibrate its VFO and perform the calibration. I've read a lot of things, but I can't do it optimally.
I have calibrated the frequencies output from the raduino via software. But the receiver I just can't understand the logic.
I hope to receive some safe suggestions, to then transfer it to a container.
Also, the VFO calibration and calibration, must be done on an amateur radio frequency or on a commercial one (also much debated)?
Thanks and 73 by Antonio IU7SUX
