Upgrading the Zbitx - the $169 QRP Transceiver

The Mad Dog Coil, DIY Wolf River coil alternative.

After watching Vince @VE6LK play with his zBitx I was completely sold - and lacking anything resembling impulse control, I just had to have it. A few weeks of waiting, and DHL delivered this little toy to my doorstep! Reading what other people have to say, and seeing Vince playing with his, it's clear that this thing has some ways to go. But at $169 it'd be happy to tag along for the ride.

But as this is the result of fast paced development of firmware, I figured I'd better start by doing an upgrade. An easy enough process; but I decided to film it anyway, so you get to come along for the ride.
