I’ve never seen a power output or SWR there. 73, Paul, N8HM toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, Apr 2, 2025 at 11:08 Andrew via <roland.andrew=[email protected]> wrote: When you TX, you'll see power and SWR: This snapshot is from the manual, available here: On Wed, Apr 2, 2025 at 11:06?AM Nigel Evans M0NDE via <nigel.m0nde=[email protected]> wrote: yes it does Nigel MW0NDE?

Vince d'Eon VE6LK/AI7LK All Messages By This Member #116811 Ensure your software and firmware are at the latest versions. I also have found a power cycle helps with this.

Paul R. Stoetzer All Messages By This Member #116837 I’ve done both. Showing zBitx 1.06 and sbitx 3.021 as the versions. 73, Paul, N8HM toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, Apr 2, 2025 at 15:26 David T-- VE3TOS via <digiital=[email protected]> wrote: Factory version of the frontpanel?firmware needs to be updated, and while you are it , do a ./update for the zbitx software as well.?

Tristan VA3VPN All Messages By This Member #116904 Hi Paul, ? I ran into the same issue. v3.051 is currently the latest version. In my case, the git branch was set to "farhandev" instead of "main". This also seems to be the difference between the ./update and ./update_zbitx script - the former does not explicitly set a branch, while the latter sets the branch to "farhandev" after running the git pull. In the ~/sbitx folder, I had to manually run "git checkout main", then ran the ./update script. This brought me to v3.051 and now I get proper readings both via HDMI and on the "head unit" (previously, the "head unit" kept displaying the voltage/S-meter and power/SWR remained at 0/1.0 via HDMI despite appropriate power output). ? 73, Tristan VA3VPN
Paul R. Stoetzer All Messages By This Member #116970 Thanks, Tristan! That was the issue and now my zBitx seems to work as intended. I wonder if some units got SD cards with earlier system installs on them? 73, Paul, N8HM toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Apr 3, 2025 at 12:40 Tristan VA3VPN <va3vpn@...> wrote: Hi Paul, ?
