Operating the Radio

  • VFOs The VFOs A and B are switch by simply touching on either of them. The white box shows the currently active VFO
  • RIT Touch the RIT to enable Receiver Incremental Tuning. Touch it again to turn it off
  • USB/LSB Touch on either of the buttons to choose the sideband
  • CW Touch to enable CW mode. In CW mode, you can also use your microphone’s PTT for transmitting a quick morse code message. Choose your keyer from the setup menu
  • SPL(IT). Touch to enable Split operating. Now, the VFO A becomes the transmitting frequency and the VFO B is the receiving frequency. It is great for working DX!
  • Bands Touch on any band buttons to quickly switch to the band
  • WPM (CW) Set the CW sending speed of the keyer
  • TON(E) Set the sidetone frequency
  • FRQ Allows you to enter a frequency directly using a keypad shown in last image.
  • The uBITX has plenty of power at 80m and a decreasing amount for every band you go up with close to 2W at 10m.
