That's amazing, been dreaming about an all in one radio/pc for FT8. Looks like this is my 2024 project.

I find I don't really care for the native FT8 handling and have setup and used WSJT-X instead. Keep in mind my needs are all colored by POTA and this does not seem like a very good option for that without WSJT-X and Gridtracker. I have not taken it out to POTA with yet as I figure out a few things. I am not an expert by any means in linux so have been figuring out things.

Hi Mike. The sBitx v3 looks pretty cool. Is there an S-meter on this unit?

I couldn't get the RS998 not the Wolf. I had the earlier version of the sBitx which was really bad with the LDOs overheating beyond the temperature specs and other problems. How does this one works? Did you open it? Any overheating? I noticed that you had it set at 30w while the news psecs show 20 up to 20m and only 10w above that. The price went down too. Would you recommend it? I am 98% QRP.
