I've been interested in the sBitX for a while, but only just yesterday finally pulled the trigger on one, which should get here tomorrow. This is one of the few videos I've found of someone OPERATING one just like any other radio on an activation! Thank you!
After rewatching the video I see that I made some simple transcription mistakes with the CW, I have 559 in one place and the report was actually 55N which means the same thing, but for people trying to practice copying code, this could lead to mistakes. I seem to have done this a couple of times so I am sorry about that, if I get the chance, I will edit the raw file and re-upload the video with the correct text.
@@HamRadioToday Excellent video. I was curious as to where you purchased your sBitx V3. Also, I concur with the previous comment. Please to a SSB demo with your sBitx V3. 73 de WA3RSL.
@@frankENZC I bought it directly from the HF Signals website. They are a little outfit in India and ship worldwide. The radio comes DHL which is kinda terrifying, but mine arrived in one piece so I am happy. SSB is in the que to be done now... Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for the interesting video. Question, why the image on the transceiver screen does not take up the whole screen ?
Because I had a GoPro style camera setup to watch the radio and I am not very good at camera angles and such🤷🏻♂️😬
I wish you had some SSB as well
Good to know. I will add that in on the next one then. Thank you for the feedback

@@HamRadioToday Thanks. I think Gigaparts sells them, if I'm not mistaken.
