Love my truSDX! now I need to find some POTA time.. Noghtshift schedule has me trapped into sleeping thru the days, guess ill need to aim for 40 & 80M at night. #truSDX #POTA #AMATEURRADIO #HRO #HAMRADIO
Immerhin schon mal ein bisschen dekodierbares #FT8 auf 10m empfangen. Frequenz ist aber immer noch ein bisschen schief. #truSDX #Amateurfunk
Plan für's Wochenende: Das neue #truSDX kalibrieren. Aus Mangel an einem zweiten KW-Gerät werde ich das mal anhand einer Funkbake und dem Gehör versuchen. Jemand Tipps? #Amateurfunk
Ich hab so Bock drauf. #truSDX #Amateurfunk

Ich habe das heiße Wetter der letzten Tage auch genutzt um endlich meinen QMX zusammenzubauen (der Bastelkeller ist der kühlste Ort in Haus, leider auch im Winter ☹️) und bei der Gelegenheit auch den #truSDX der noch viel länger hier herumliegt zusammengepuzzelt.
Der Zusammenbau des #QMX ist schon anspruchsvoller, auch wenn die Bauanleitung für den (tr)uSDX per Youtube-Video etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig ist.
Sind auf jeden Fall zwei tolle Projekte.
Finalized my #QRPlab #qmx build today 😍 after some hours of sweating, the small TRX is running out of the box. Compared to my #qdx or #trusdx builds, I have to admit it was quite challenging due to the enormous part density. But nevertheless, the first SSB and FT8 was successful. But I will need to build me a new external mic with a proper electret capsule, my modified Chinese Mic has much too low gain

So, the blown-up (tr)uSDX probably won't be ready for my vacation, so out of desparation, I bought a Xiegu #X6100 so I have at least something to work with on my vacation.

Any hints on what I shall do first? Of course, firmware update.

Which alternatives shall I look into? R1CBU firmware maybe?

Based on the hard work of Adam, K6ARK I designed a PCB which does all the work of the connections and designed a case for it.

I think it looks like a Turret from the game Portal, hence its name.

Exactly. #zbitx is not a SOTA radio, (except to warm your hands in cold weather as your 18650s drain). CW unuseable as of now: missed dits and dahs, strange echo after a few minutes (delayed RX processing?). Also, much heavier radio. Screen unreadable in a bright outdoors setting. Even with all the problems (birdies, unreadable in the sun, PCB-mounted connectors, less bands, etc.) my #trusdx is open-source and a better radio. No FT8 though (acoustically-coupled FT8CN).
