i have a uBitx that I want to use primarily for SOTA using a straight key and the stock 2-line display. Of all of the firmware options, which one should I?install for 2-line display and straight key cw?

I am thinking the stock firmware is not a significant factor in CW operating.? I would suggest using a CW audio filter with the uBITX.? One candidate is the hypermite from 4stateQRP - there is at least one you tube video demonstrating its usefulness in the uBITX.? I understand there are at least 2 different widely used alternatives, but I suggest using the uBITX as is to discover factors you think need improving to find the best fit.? Enjoy your rig.?

You might check on the New England qrp club site for their ?switched capacitor filter kit. It has good reviews and is about $35 I think


 

Look at KD8CEC firmware updates, they do work with your display, and do fix the keyer subroutine. But if you stay with the straight key, it won't matter much.
