Previously my sBitx (sn#12) started without trouble. Now it hangs for about 30 seconds and then I get a dialog box asking whether I want to terminate the process as it’s taking too long to start. I do

peeps, The recent availability of the small DC buck converter boards based on the MP1584 and M2338 came a little too late to make it to the sbitx production. However, given the unusually large number

Hi all, I'm trying to find a solution to remove the raspberry and use a PC connected to the sbitx digital audio board. For the control signals (Si5351A and some others) I'll use a arduino (just like i

This has probably been answered before. I have a uBit 6 with its original display. I understand that KD8CEC has written the best upgrade software. How do I install this, & what version do I need? I do

After reading about toroids and the pit falls, I did some experiments using sewing machine bobbins. The bobbins that I have are JANOME and are 20mm x 10mm with a center hole 6mm. I have attached a few

Hi Ashhar, I would highly recommend that the "live" sbitx executable file, macro files, and user settings be moved out of the user’s git directory and be placed elsewhere. I noticed the sbitx executab

KK7BCO, DISCLAIMER - I'm not sure about the original stock firmware as all of my radios have been modded with Nextion displays and the KD8CEC firmware. All I have needed was a USB sound card dongle to

Hello everyone, My sBitx just arrived today, SN 44, and if course I tore it open like a kid on Christmas! I already made a contact from inside my apartment with a mag loop - No mean feat here with the

Greetings, A few initial observations: 1) Several times I’ve gotten the rig into a weird state where CW sending from the keyboard just cycles in and out of transmit and receive, and the only way to ge

I just bought a Funtronics uBitx digi interface board from Elekitsorparts and I need help with installation in my ubitx V6 unit. There seems to be no manual and so I watched the YouTube video and it l

From what I read it should not be necessary to install heatsinks on the chips but what have others done? The Raspberry Pi becomes quite warm. Vy73 de Rolf, DL8BAG

Hello Mark!! My first dreamy 4.3 Nextion worked like a dream till it went poof. Maybe too many hours on WSPR, so it died of boredom. I went back to the venerable 16x2 as temp till I could source a rep

I have created a github repository for Nextion screens used with the KD8CEC software. The repository lives at: https://github.com/AJ6CU/Nextion-screens-for-uBitx-KD8CEC-firmware This repository includ

I swear I had sent an email on this an hour ago... Anyway, I replaced replaced the LM338 with a switching regulator. This one was very inexpensive, less than a dollar. It is also very efficient and sm

Farhan, all Ok some progress today. Verified that the 12v and 5v are present before, during and after the reboot. I do hear a relay click when I select CQ then the Sbitx stops working and reboots. I a

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

In the operating manual I see the following warning: ``` # 1. Connect the Antenna first! The antenna jack on the back must always be connected to a properly matched antenna with an SWR of less than 2

So I can see that I like the Nextion display. I have many questions that I am sure have been addressed before. 1. Which Nextion display should I purchase? There are so many options and features. 2. In

Dear group, I asked a friend of mine to build a master toroid stl file that we can put in our 3D printer software and come up with the plastic toroids almost any size we want. The Master was built on
