Mi8ke, Congrats! I hope you have fun with it. I am amazed at what can be done with 10 watts. I have only been on the air with the BITX for a couple of weeks and I really enjoy it, I think I've only ha

Bottom line, doesn't matter, all the same chip. But it is curious: Mouser says GT gets shipped in a tube, GTR is a reel, or tape cut from a reel. They'll sell you either one in single chip quantities.

My uBitx V6 basic arrived a day earlier than estimated and I cobbled it together to check it out. It works great, even the mic works great. I haven't tried to make any contacts yet. I need to get a ca

No difference in the chip or package. suffix GTR just denotes tape and reel... for large quantities used in manufacturing / pick and place you most likely would want inventory on a reel. GT is just th

GTR means comes off a reel, you get them as cut tape. GT means they come in a tube. Makes no difference, unless you are buying thousands to put into your automatic pick-and-place machine. See page 34

What is the difference between these two chips ? Which one is preferred ?

Justin, Try one of these: When I test the .hmi program with the Nextion editor they both seem to have the direct frequency working. Note: You will need to use the Nextion LTS editor if you want to mod

Zvika - Tnx, I found the file ubitx_35B7.tft in the files section and it appears to work fine - at least the direct freq entry works fine.

Most 3.5" tft files have some bugs or missing functionality. I am not sure which is the perfect one if any, but try other program.

Added "uBitx Nextion 4.3 Inch - Enhanced" HMI file to files section

Yes, please let us know how that goes in and if it works. -Ted

I have my UBITX mounted in a case, the new tuning knob machines, and the 3.5" Nextion screen up and running (mostly) and have the auto antenna tuner ordered. Next up is poking holes in the rear panel.

Evna I'm using the ubitx_35.tft from the message you pointed me to and the nano is flashed with UBITXV5_CEC_V1.200_NX.hex. Trying to switch between freq and band works on some bands but not others so

Justin, The only thing that I can think of is that the "shift" for the number pad is not working or that the Nextion program has a bug. Try pressing the shift button on the frequency entry screen and

I guess I must not be holding my mouth right, or something, but I can't seem to get direct freq entry to work. I can go to the direct entry screen, enter the freq, and when I touch "Enter" it takes me

Evan, I retired as a machinist and have modified some small Chinese machine tools to CNC. I probably could build one (I have a small sheet metal brake) but I'm too lazy so I buy cases and then poke ho

Evan, thank you for the clarification vs my oversimplification. :-) What I should have said was: If I have FT8 set to 1000 Hz audio tones, on a tuned uBitx we are displaying (base frequency) on the uB

Scott, What is displayed in the WSJT-X software is the relative audio frequency compared to the radio's internal RF frequency. This means that on either radio's frequency display the transmit and rece

Scott, unless I'm misunderstanding how the uBitx v6 is working, the offset we are talking about is really just affecting what is being displayed on the uBITx screen vs what the internal radio is actua
