The zBitx breaks new barriers in price performance charts with a world class SDR with 24 bit ADC, hybrid crystal roofing filter, robust 10 watt PA and really fast Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

Work the world with a few watts on 80M to 10M on two LiPo Cells! The zBitx is the most powerful SDR with 64-bit Raspberry Pi Zero 2W inside it. Work CW, SSB, FT8, log your contacts and operate with the smooth, noiseless electronic T/R and filter switching, temperature compensated, low noise oscillator.

The zBitx has all the features and the same software that powers the sBitx radios in a smaller, less expensive radio. Explore FT8, FreeDV, QSSTV, all without any wires and computer connections!
