#sbitx sn 0071 is alive!
#sBitx
Farhan; You have created an amazing radio. I love that the radio has the ability to recompile it's own software. I love that the code is open-source, so that changes can easily be made to add features, and tailor the radio to behave exactly the way I want it to. I've enabled SSH so that I can remotely log into my radio from a laptop and do things from the command line, while sitting on my sofa in another room watching the news. I've installed XRDP so that I can remotely log into the desktop from my laptop and run the sBitx software remotely. I haven't gotten sound working via RDP yet; that's a bit more complex from a linux host. For now I¡¯m using a bluetooth transmitter plugged into the headphone jack. The Rpi has bluetooth built-in, but the sbitx app is not set up to route audio to the BT device. Will have to investigate that option.... The sBitx should really appeal to those who are comfortable with computers, and like to experiment with software vs solder and wire. This radio has really been a blast - and is also a great way to learn more about DSP algorithms and linux in general. 73; Steve, N3SB

Steve, You might want to telnet to port 7000 of the rpi while sbitx is running. This an easter egg yet, I am not sure if I should produce a telnet remote or a web/http based remote facility.? It only shows the console output yet. The source code is at? On Wed, Aug 17, 2022, 5:03 AM Ashhar Farhan via <farhanbox=[email protected]> wrote:

Farhan - Yes, I do see the console activity on port 7000 - yet another cool thing that this amazing radio does. The text interface capability would make possible remote digital modes QSOs and control through simple devices - maybe an ESP32 based handheld device or a simple smartphone app. So many possibilities for experimentation and hacking have been made possible with the sBitx. I'm doing something right now that I would have never thought possible with a ham radio - I'm responding to your email using a browser running on my sBitx! 73; Steve, N3SB On Tue, Aug 16, 2022 at 7:50 PM Ashhar Farhan <farhanbox@...> wrote:

I want to be able to receive js8call messages relayed to my email or siganl. This is in the skunkworks. On Wed, Aug 17, 2022, 7:45 AM Steve Beckman <ssteven3sb@...> wrote:
