I guess this is a Linux question.? I issued the commands given above and received a response saying that I need to commit or stash four files, followed by the message 'abort'.
?
I haven't yet changed any files to my knowledge, although I did enter my callsign and grid square.? Does the message and 'abort' status only apply to those four files, so maybe I can ignore it?? Or did it completely abort my update to v3.027???
?
If that's the case, how do I modify the update command to cause it to go to completion?
?
Thanks / 73

Gyula,
My unit shares the same behavior, and has since the day I received it.

I have an interesting experience in USB mode, the IF becomes noisy at values ??of 39-40-41. At a different IF, this noise disappears. It can also be seen on the waterfall. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?
Another thing, where does the ssb_val setting take place?
The commands can be seen in Gordon Readme.txt, I would love to see an example of this.

Bob,
Thank you for the information.
I understand that Discord is a good thing, but in many cases I don't understand what he wants.
For example, asked my birth information I typed, in response it came and would not move on:
Verification, I enter my phone number (mobile number) not accepted. I returned to the Invite page, not accepting.
I tried.

for CW/CWR balance
There is also a new value in the hw_settings.ini file that can be added by the owner or copied over from the default file..
it is called ssb_val
ssb_val and equalization are set as in KX4Z Gordons's development here:

JES,
thank you for the team's work.
I like that the volume has increased a lot, in AM mode it is worth reducing the IF so that the reception is not distorted.
The digital transmission works well with jtdx and the visible output signal is bigger when broadcasting, I like that too.
I couldn't find the 5 band TX EQ, nor the QRO funcionality and the SSB Power Calibration option, I'm asking for help with this.

Thanks JJ,

I love the volume control change, I'll give AM a try in the morning on some SWB stations.

You can update from terminal with:

You can download a fresh install at ? and it is recommended to join our community to share feedback. See for details.

Thank you all for your patience from the 64 bit sBitx Project Team !

Don,
I still don't know what OS you have installed. If you don't have a copy of the manufacturer's hw_settings.ini and you haven't used the device yet, you don't need to copy anything else from the old image. If you copied the W9JES image, it should start even without hw_settings.ini. If it doesn't start, it could be another problem.
are we talking about a uSD card? If I understand correctly, you copied the new one onto the uSD sent by the manufacturer, but the original data is not there.
Since I do not have exact knowledge of your device, I can give a general answer.

Is there a stock "hw_settings.ini file" that I can obtain
to load into the directory after doing the sBitx 64 install?? I
understand that I may need to tweak settings afterwards for my
board which may be available on a tutorial video.?

Turn off the AGC in reception, then it will be louder.

I'm not going to revert back as I don't do much digital stuff anyway, however I did do some experiments this morning with AM mode and found it to work pretty good. I checked power output into a dummy load with my V3 at 100% drive and found about 12 watts out on 7.200mhz with no modulation, and about 18-20 watts with 100% modulation. I then did some tests into a Web SDR and found the audio to be quite good. I wouldn't be afraid to check into any AM net with this and me even try later. All in all, progress is being made. Thanks again to the team.
