I'd say #LabourDay well spent, finally got around to powering the #zBitx from a powerbank and some bug fixes on the HAM Clock using an #esp32 CYD to get it up and running. A few more fixes and I'm all set for the next field day in better conditions :-).

Based on the hard work of Adam, K6ARK I designed a PCB which does all the work of the connections and designed a case for it.

I think it looks like a Turret from the game Portal, hence its name.

Exactly. #zbitx is not a SOTA radio, (except to warm your hands in cold weather as your 18650s drain). CW unuseable as of now: missed dits and dahs, strange echo after a few minutes (delayed RX processing?). Also, much heavier radio. Screen unreadable in a bright outdoors setting. Even with all the problems (birdies, unreadable in the sun, PCB-mounted connectors, less bands, etc.) my #trusdx is open-source and a better radio. No FT8 though (acoustically-coupled FT8CN).
