Lost the receiver!
#sBitx
Got my DHL box yesterday and connected up my Pi4 and screen, connected an antenna and 12v and the unit was working. I could hear CW and SSB. Figured I'd do the setup today.
So today I go through the operating manual enter call sign, grid and UTC. Then I start learning the controls and notice that I am no longer receiving any signals. No CW, SSB or FT8. Move the antenna to another rig and there are signal everywhere. Reboot the system. Same result. Not sure what to do. I was thinking of doing a git pull upgrade to newest version but wasn't sure if that would just introduce more variables. BTW, I plugged in a key, switched to CW mode and the unit transmits fine. Any suggestions would be welcome! |
First, It looks to be purely a software issue. The system is bidirectional and if it transmits, the signal paths are clear both ways. Second, Some have reported being stuck with a badly configured user_settings.ini file. This is in /home/pi/sbitx/data. To reset it, ?1. Hit OFF on sbitx application to stop it from running. 2. Delete the user_settings.ini file. 3. Open the terminal, type "cd sbitx" to change to sbitx directory. 4. Type "git pull" to get a newly minted user_settings file back into the system. - f On Sun, Aug 7, 2022, 4:46 AM Kenneth Delap via <zz663=[email protected]> wrote: Had the same problem I found if I just moved the tuning knob a little it was back to working might try that. |
Can hear it transmit? Can you see the modulation ? The modulation will be a steady band of yellow for the ft8. Finally, switch off sbitx app and open the chrome and play some YouTube. Can you hear the audio? - f On Sun, Aug 7, 2022, 6:02 AM W6LKB <lbon@...> wrote: And I just figured out that double clicking on a FT8 line doesn't trigger a response. I need to hit the enter key. Now it is transmitting. |
Directly mail me the user_settings.ini file - f On Sun, Aug 7, 2022, 6:14 AM W6LKB <lbon@...> wrote: Yes I heard it and there was a yellow band! |
