That software was becoming a key component of communications occurred to me back in the late 1980s whe were playing with old packet radio networks. Soon we had TCP/IP over packet through our TNCs. In the '90s we began talking about software defined radios - which are now mainstream. And now we have "radios" that aren't exactly radios either! As I write this, I'm on 7.074 Mhz FT8 - where to a large extent, much of the the "radio" is my PC! There is much innovation yet to come - and we will see it across the board, in analog and digital radio - and much more.

Steve wrote, "zBitx will be so popular, that we may see a zBitx 2 designed for fixed operation with a bit more transmit power".

HFSignals also offers the sBitx, which is a 25 watt radio that offers similar capabilities as the zBitx in a larger and more expensive package. In many ways the zBitx is a miniaturized version of the sBitx. https://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/sbitx-v3/

I am also someone that is interested in picking up a zBitx when they become available! :-)
