thank you ashhar, i believe i'm the first ham in the uk to own one, a very nice device, pc + tx'r in one box bluetooth, wireless, logging, hdmi ports, the receive audio is crystal clear, blutoothed to my sound bar, anybody in the uk interested i'll guide you through the process,
Great design, Ashhar ! Again... Two questions: - The displays I see are all touchscreen displays. Haven't seen the code yet, but are you using the touchscreen ability ? - Will the PCB ever be made available without any components soldered onto it ? For me, one of the nicest things in homebrewing is putting the devices together myself, instead of just connecting connectors... Tnx, 73, Hans, PA3CRZ
Looks nice. Traditionally we'd usually see most of these sections with shielding between them, this design seems to omit shielding of any kind, is this not a concern?
Well, there is about 7db of gain between the antenna and the code, so very little to interfere with. There are a few birdies alright due to the raspberry pi, but they are all below the band noise.
new radios are selling fast how ever the CW over paddle key is not working well ie sending errors,i send by strait key so it may not be a problem for me,use lots of rf clamps on wires as rf may be getting in to set via cable on yo your key also earth your case to shack ground ..jeff..
Disagree as the connection is no waybas common as RC battery packs and is waterproof. I hate Anderson powerpoles. They need expensive tools and are overpriced and hyper marketed propietary connections.
Yes, the s meter is a very non-objective, perceptional thing. For examplee, the often quoted s9 =50uv is useless on 80m where the noise floor itself can be very high. The spectrum is your signal meter.
Imagine going to all the effort to build Open Source software and hardware only to put a Raspberry Pi in it (RPis are not open hardware and require binary blobs to boot). I fully understand the constraints and alternatives. If you could support open SBCs your hard work wouldn't be polluted by closed source hardware and binary blobs.
I had to balance low cost, availability against open source (risc v) board. I took a middle path, the source code is not at all dependent on the raspberry pi. You can recompile it to any platform rhat supports a stereo codec, multithreading and socket api.
You sure packed a lot into that radio. I've only had my ubitX V6 for a few months, now I want that one! ;-)
Bitx has come quite a long way, congrats on another successful design.
Much appreciated!
@@ashfarhan ok cw does not work any fix for that ..jeffrey..
This is a modern radio innovation! 73, de W2DAB, Dave
Did I miss the "S" meter for signal reports?

Happy about the xt60 power connector - I have many lipos for FPV drones, all of which use xt60s.
Great design, Ashhar !

Wow, this looks great!
Hard To wait! 73 Patrick
Looks great how hot is the pi running, I use pi 4's here and they do have a tendency to run very hot so how are you getting around this issue ?.
That is Great 👍🇬🇧

Vy nice, how long from order does it take to Germany?

Ordered one today.
Great job !
Nice congrats !
thank you
Built in digimodes?? Hell yes!!
If that's the new UI it looks good if not an evolution of the existing one.
This is an entirely html ui. You can change it to look like.. an HW-8 if you wish

Is this rig easily used remotely on the internet????
i got my nice to order this for me tonight lets hope all goes well and i have not shot myself in the footiguses ..jeff
got my girl mrs venn to order this one and still not sent out not good at all ,, jeff.. m0prf
looks like it was sent after all just the web site was not updated how stange jeff ...
Can i power the sBitxV2 with a goal zero sherpa 100AC it has USB-C PD 2 port (output): 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V up to 5A (100W max), regulated.
I suppose so. How noisy is it? If other qrp radios work, then so should the sbitx
Cool! when available?
Available on www.hfsignals.com
When will this set be available?
It is on sale on www.hfsignals.com
It is in sale at www.hfsignals.com
thank you sir 👍

@@ashfarhan Perhaps, but no other manufacture has no meter!… more useful would be signal to noise.
@@ashfarhan i think you are right people have signal meter on the brain, and thats the worst place you can have it ..jeff
I guess "S" meters are not needed on computers.@@jeffreypetchharrison4363
When can I buy one of these!
It is on sale at www.hfsignals.com
@@ashfarhan awesome!

@@ashfarhan A wise choice in my opinion. Regards N8VY👍
Unfortunately it is not for India
