It was only a few years ago Ashhar Farhan's small company HF Signals from India launched the Bitx40, a small 40m rig that was sold as a completed PCB, it was up to you how you housed it and cased it up. It sold in droves, and paved the way for the uBitx a fully functioning multi band HF rig cased, and complete, for a bargain price of HF entry to our hobby.

 Since then sBitx was developed and again opened the SDR path of development, powered by a Raspberry Pi as it's engine.

Well Ashhar has done it again! With the launch of zBitx.

This is what he has had to say launching it on Christmas day on the Bitx forum:

After months of work, we finally have the zBitx in production! We were able to price it at an incredible $149 USD for a 5 watt, 80M to 10 M QRP radio with a large 480x320 touch screen that allows you to run CW, FT8 and other modes without needing even the phone that the original zBitx used.

Schematics and Software: They will all be released in open source, GPL v3 on github in a few weeks.

 

 

 

 

Deliveries will start in February.

 

Further details and sales get down to the HF Signals Website: https://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/zbitx/

You can certainly bet this is going to be a hot winner in 2025.
