Shipping date zbitx

 

Farhan can you give us a date when shipping of the zbitx will start?? I have my 18650 batteries fully charged and ready to go.
Doug, KI6DS?
 

Doug and peeps,
There has been inordinate delay in some components (40 MHZ crystals for one) arriving at assembly. We hope the smd pick and place will happen before 1st feb.
The inductors, et al are all in place. We should start shipping by 10th feb or so.
JJ is helping with bringing the 64 bit sbitx to life. We should have the software tested and ready by feb 1st week as well.

Any chance to see a demo unit on a video.? ?
 

I don't see the 64 bit listed on ur site. Was going to order a v3 but think I'll wait?
 

Excellent news.? I'm hoping that everything falls in place.
?
Thank you for the update.?

As soon as the final version of the pcb arrives.

Hey,

?

next week marks the end of the month.

Can you already tell if the shipping will work out by then?

Do you have any more updates for us?

?

The excitement feels a bit like Christmas!

Is there maybe a video of the zbitx in action yet?

?

Best regards and?
 


We plan to start shipping out the zBitx radios by the end of this month and we will share more updates once everything is set.

You can expect to see some videos of the zBitx soon—We're working on elements of the UI and it should be ready to showcase soon. Thank you all for your continued support and patience. It really means a lot to the team!

If anyone has second thoughts on their zbitx order, please let me know, as I'd like to purchase it from you!
Cheers,

The 3-Count will start today.

Don’t hold it against us, but you have generated a lot of positive excitement and interest, and we are all eagerly waiting to see when things will get started. ? ? We are also looking forward to videos of it in action. ?In my case, I would like to create videos of it in action.
 

Hey guys,

whatever has come up that’s delaying the shipment of the zbitx—I think everyone will understand! But there are 250 people waiting, and you’re not giving us any updates. They were supposed to be shipped this week—maybe that’s not happening? No problem, but please talk to us! Give us some info. Let us be part of the process. What’s the issue? Are there difficulties with ordering parts? Is assembly taking longer? Is it the programming?

?

This isn’t meant to be harsh, but I think we, the 250 people who ordered and paid, deserve to be kept in the loop when something doesn’t go as promised.

?

More photos and videos were also supposed to be released by now. We’re all excited—please don’t take that away from us by staying silent.
 

It is great that there is a huge interest in the zBitx.?

But everyone has to be patient. HFsignals is a small company. ?I can’t imagine the struggles of launching a new product given all the challenges navigating the worldwide supply chain. But they have a long history of delivering their products.?

I don’t remember any promises made by HFsignals. They announced their planned timetable for launch, but made no promises. ?I am very sure they want to ship as soon as possible and will make every good faith effort to do so.?

So instead of berating HFsignals I suggesting taking a deep breath and relaxing. If you feel betrayed and want out, I am confident that you will be able to sell your unit. ?

You were much more diplomatic than I was in my reply.??

Sorry dude,

?

but a quick update takes less than two minutes, and everyone is informed. I think sharing this info would only be fair.

I haven’t accused anyone of anything that would break trust.

So, relax with your choice of words as well.
 

Guys, I know it is very frustrating. There were too many setbacks ranging from display shortages, chinese new year and my stupidities. As a result, it was impossible to predict when we would be done.
We are not small enough that we could get the parts from second line dealers, nor big enough to talk directly with the distributors.
But we are almost done with everything. Shipping starts on Monday. We will provide more details , pictures today.

Farhan, I’m not frustrated, and if it came across that way, I apologize.

For me, it’s more about the flow of information.

Everyone can look out the window and see what the weather is like.

But if you don’t have a window, you might end up standing in the rain without knowing it.

A short message can be like a window.

Thank you for taking the time to inform us now.
