FTBCAT is a program that mainly manages memory, but uBITX has no memory to manage, so it can only view frequencies.

Click the On/Off button, then start communication with uBITX


You can see uBITX information on FTBCAT screen.

  1. Hey Ian...what cable is used to connect the PC to the uBITX for digital operation? Maybe I'm not reading closely enough.

    I know you asked this over a month ago, but don't see any answer. As far as I can tell (and I can easily be wrong) it is the normal USB programming cable from the computer to the arduino.

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All version(include V2, V3, V4, V5)

Release CEC Firmware v1.200 for uBITX All Version (include v2, v3, v4, v5) I did the firmware work for v5 when uBITX V5 was released, but I release it now. I received the feedback from a thankful beta tester and tested it myself by converting my uBITX v3 to v5 but I was not sure. I ordered the uBITX V5 and delivered the correct uBITX V5, so I made a little more fine-tuning. If you use V2, V3, V4, you do not need to update this firmware.
