Good to see it working so seamlessly with the amp. Looks like a nice little setup.

@temporarilyoffline 2 года назад

Its a pretty good setup, was just using it for an hour during a live stream and it did well.

@Paddy_Roche 2 года назад

Thanks TO, that’s the stuff I like to see. I learned a lot there. I very nearly bought that amp Saturday for my 705 thanks to your videos on it but decided to wait until January.

Looks like the XPA output reading is a percentage of the output, 125 watts being 100% the percentages match pretty close to the power output on the MFJ meter. You could draw out a small chart of % readings to watts out, and be pretty close.

Good tip, thanks!

Nice job TO, I have done a bunch of trailer wiring and same thing you have to remember that the plugs are opposite of each other. The one thing I do with something like this is tape the wires I am not going to use to side of the wire to help with the confusion Lol!

@jonmcadams5401 2 года назад

One small suggestion. It might be helpful to put ferrite beads near the connectors on both ends of the cable to reduce or block possible RF on the cable. I did this with the cable connecting my G90 & XPA125B since I'm using a non-resonant end-fed antenna.

@temporarilyoffline 2 года назад

That's a great idea. My antenna is pretty far away from my station, so I normally don't have to worry about RFI. I didn't even think about it. Thanks

@mattghoward 2 года назад

That's the same way I did my spare cable (because you always need a spare) - buy a mini 6pin din cable and add the TRRS

@temporarilyoffline 2 года назад

There you go! Mine came from a "Add APRS to the Kenwood TM-281" project that died on the bench... not enough APRS around here to make anything interesting.

I have another project on the channel using USB break out cables to make decorations around the house. They are super easy to use, a great invention for sure!

@rademaartje1 2 года назад

Nicely done. Its a shame the Xiegu amp is so expensive.

@temporarilyoffline 2 года назад

I'm pretty impressed with it. I put it through its paces in some videos before. I like the built in protection circuits they've created.

@GVDub Год назад

Nice. Radioddity is insisting that the L4001 cable (and the DE19) are not compatible with the G90, but that makes no sense, since it's just straight through wiring and the signals for the 6100 appear to match what the G90 sends through its ACC cable. DE19 works great with the G90 for digital modes, and I don't want to switch to the CE19 to use the amp. I've got parts coming and a soldering station standing by.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I'm in the same boat. The L4001 cable is the recommended cable for the DE19, as soon as that comes in, I'll test and make a video either way. If it doesn't work, I won't be happy!

@GVDub Год назад

@@temporarilyoffline If I owned the business, I'd verify that the cable works, and sell more DE19s, more XPA125Bs and more cables to G90 owners. But that's just crazy talk, apparently.

@CapeCodCNC 2 года назад

Nice video! The producer was in hover mode! What do you can be done to make that amp a little bit better?

@temporarilyoffline 2 года назад

I'm really happy with the amp, what do you think?

@CapeCodCNC 2 года назад

@@temporarilyoffline I saw a couple reviews and the conclusion was it is not the cleanest amp out there just barely passing by with spurious emissions. Maybe replace a few components with higher quality units and possibly some upgraded filtering. Maybe even some better cooling ideas other than just fans..... Just some tweaks here and there for giggles.....

Hey, great vids been watching with interest your channel, slightly off subject but you might help recently my G90 has developed a clicking sound from the speaker (and headphones) on volume incremental notches, even when increasing or decreasing volume from the hand held mic buttons, do you think its hardware or software related, running 1.77 FW....thank you and keep up the great work...Ray 9H5TB

@temporarilyoffline 2 года назад

Hey Ray! If it happens with hand mic and with vfo, it's something further into the rig, if your brave, open it up and clean it up inside and give it a good visual inspection, repeat all connectors, etc. All the things you do in a computer tune up, because this is a computer.

When you activate the ATU on the x6100 will it activate the tuner on the amplifier?
