zBitx feature request - jump to frequency
Trying out my new zBitx, one missing feature that would really be useful would be to tap on a signal on the waterfall and the VFO would jump to that frequency.

zBitx IF setting
Finally trying out my zBitx received last week. It seemed deaf at first. I am finding that I need to run my IF setting to around 75 on 20m to hear or see any signals. What are typical IF settings for other users?

I kindly ask this community if FLdigi is already installed on my ZBITX that arrived a few days ago and if so, how to activate it

WTB: uBITX V3, V4 or V5
Judging by the traffic on this forum, I assume most of "us" are now working on sBITX and zBITX radios. If any of you have an unbuilt uBITX kit (V3, V4 or V5) that you will never get around to building, please contact me through my QRZ address and let me know what you need to ship it to WV Zip 25704. I would prefer to pay with a USPS money order but I can also do PayPal. Bob WB8BEL

Mouse & Monitor Help
6
So I finally was able to chase down enough cables and a micro USB hub to hook up to a HDMI monitor, mouse and keyboard and got it all working along with connection to my laptop over wifi. My question is when I mouse click settings boxes with the remote mouse and monitor, the item high lights, but can't see to be able to change the value like say the drive setting. What am I missing?

Splatter-proof radio?
5
I have a question for all you extremely BRIGHT people out there. Watching how the sBitx works, and thinking through how it mathematically computes the single side band modulation, based on a transform of the analog audio input, I am thinking that it is impossible to "splatter" outside the normal bandwidth. That would be highly desirable, because it basically means you don't need ALC (automatic level control) and that you sorta have a "built in compression" if your audio gets louder. Am I right in these thoughts? I've studied the ALC circuitry by putting some debugging print statements in it, and I don't think I've ever seen it do much at all and this was part of what got me thinking that this radio may simply NOT produce splatter. Your input welcomed, 73 Gordon Kx4Z

Hi, If I am running at 9V, and I am transmitting FT8 at 100%, what output power are you expecting and how much power is the device consuming? Cheers, Ben

Is there one place where instructions for swapping to a 64bit pi and installing the V4 are located. I'm an old geezer, but new to this Groups thing, I poked around but only found a lot of fragments to what I was looking for

About ready to order
Ashhar, could you please help with a couple of questions regarding radio ordering status. - Will the latest software updates (e.g. CW improvements) be included on zBitx orders placed now? - Are there any hardware updates anticipated (and if possible, on what schedule)? Thank you. -- Mike WA0YCN

add a wifi network to zbitx
5
I'd like to add a second wifi network so that when at home it connects to the home network but when I'm away it would automatically connect to my phone's hotspot. Looks like tools like nmtui, etc are not installed but perhaps I can add the config manually via the shell interface in a Ssh session and avoid installing more applications that might increase the load. Any ideas on how to do this? TIA, Dino

FT8 time differential - how to resolve?
32
A buddy reported to me that my zBitx was showing 1.8s of DT in his WSJT-X console, and I can verify same with my own copy locally. I have verified that the clock on the zBitx is to the instant correct with WWV, ie. when I hear start of the tone at the top of the minute, the minute switches over on my zBitx, as well as with my NTP synchronized devices around the shack. Yet, when I answer a call or start a CQ, I'm showing as 1.8 seconds out of sync with most other people. Also what 'app' or library or whatever is being used for FT8? 73, .Vince

Upgrade Required?

Hi, So for those that have received their ZbitX in the last week or so..did it arrive with the latest firmware (for both the display and main)? Or did you have to immediately update it? Thanks, Everett-WB9FUW

QSSTV on ZbitX
6
I am not able to obtain a 'rig control (TX) when setting up QSSTV on the ZbitX (following the released user-guide). I am able to receive signals, just not able to TX. The ZbitX is unable to communicate to the QSSTV app (or vice versa) re: PTT/TX. Any ideas? I have tried 'many' different radios / rig control combinations, but nothing works. (I do have WSJTX running, and of course, FT8). BTW, a small, finned heat-sink plus a small fan seems to have solved any heat issues. Don in Austin N5CID
