DX FT8
Collaborative project to create a portable FT8 transceiver with touchscreen interface.
Description
The DX FT8 is a compact, multiband tablet transceiver designed for FT8 digital mode enthusiasts. Supporting five or seven HF bands, it integrates an STM32F746-based touchscreen interface for standalone operation, eliminating the need for a PC. The latest firmware (v1.9.2) adds SOTA/POTA calling and free-text messaging. Its efficient power design, unique RF amplifier, and 3D-printed case enhance portability. Open-source firmware and community-driven development make it a versatile choice for portable FT8 operation, ideal for SOTA, POTA, and travel use. DX FT8 TRANSCEIVER PROJECT is a collaboration between Charles(Charley)Hill, W5BAA and Barbaros(Barb)Asuroglu, WB2CBA.
