The All New zBitx 5 watts QRP All Band, All Mode Radio is Here!

VU2ESE has announced the launch of zBitx on the BITX group. It is available for purchase at http://www.hfsignals.com/ and delivery will start in February 2025. According to VU2ESE, it is a low cost 5 Watt, 80m to 10m QRP radio with a 480x320 touch screen that allows you to run CW, FT8 and other digital modes without needing even a phone that the original zBitx needed. As previously posted, zBitx is based on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, which gives it the prefix 'z'. The physical size of zBitx is just 6 inches by 3.5 inches, 1.5 inches thick, weighing just 250gm, and includes a battery case that can hold two 18650 lithium polymer batteries. One has to get batteries from elsewhere. External DC supply can also be used with a maximum of 9V. zBitx seems to be quite 'pocket friendly' both in the literal sense and cost wise!
My usual disclaimer applies here as well: I have not seen or used zBitx. I am posting this because I am proud to see a new QRP radio being announced by a VU ham. I am in no way connected with HF signals and this is not a paid promotion! I do hear a lot of uBitx users on the air and enjoy reading a lot of discussions on the BITX groups.io.
