Just ordered by ZBitX

 

I just ordered my ZBitX.? ?Have a couple of questions.
?
1.? ?What would I need to do to run WSPR on it to see how my setup is working?? ?I live in an apartment and would not be able to mount a permanent antenna out side but have to rig something up either inside or stealth.
?
2.? ?What about using a buck converter?? ? I have 12V batteries to use but was wondering is anyone was using one to run their Z.
?
3.? ?Microphones that might be available?
?
Thank you for the answers.

I second Jeff Kelley's suggestion and I'll add that I am currently using one to step down a lifepo4 to the zbitx.?

 

No noise on the zbitx? i was trying out a pack(they call it a UPS) that keeps 2x18650 at a constant?8.8v. But I was hearing noise in the radio.?

Geeze.. so sry I am slow to really look at the pics.. I don't really see frame damage..?
And I see the ref output on the rear panel.. guess this model didn't have the front connector for ref?
IF the reference works on the rear connector, would you take $275?

thanks for your patience.
