    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.

    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 ?.
  • @g4joe
    That is Great 👍🇬🇧

    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

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

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

    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?
  • 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..
