#X6100 

Anytime my friend!

Thanks for watching Joe!

Yeah, the over/under is that its good and bad for business. I like it, others... not so much

You Bet Scott!

Let me know how it works out for you.

I was like what is TFBA? Then I got it! I like it!

Just do the latest firmware and you'll be fine, thanks for watching!

You're not missing anything

Every two weeks!

I don't have any noise at all with the antenna unplugged. Here is my video on power output: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J0NzZxxDrZE.html I need to re-watch that and see if I can do it again capturing more useful info.

@@temporarilyoffline Ok thanks Steve, your videos are great All very helpful ,I have just watched that video and you are lower on 6m, On 14.070 I am getting very bad self gen Are you getting any birdies ? At all Thanks Dave It looks like I maybe sending it back, I will call them tomorrow Thanks for all of your help Thanks Dave

Good idea. I also don't leave mine plugged in when I'm not home

That's it! 😉

I've noticed on some firmwares that its not "clean" - there are static signals to the left and right on the waterfall that don't ever move. Then I either reboot or re-flash and they are gone again. HRD has seen them too. Other than that, I must have got a good one! Check in on the discord and see if anybody else has heard of it.

@@temporarilyoffline yes I will do, I will let you know how the new radio is on Monday, Also I did try firmware 5 and the swr meter only works on very high swr Thanks Dave

@@temporarilyoffline Hi Steve i stayed up last night watching your your live hack, you are some clever men, anyway i got the exchange radio today the self generated signals , most are still there i fond 0ne on 20m that was not there on the new radio but most are, it makes me think that they have left some screening off or using out of spec parts or some changes as these radios are dated 17/01/22 because of component shortages , my power output on battery is lower like the other radio, and on 6m only about 2w on battery , and about 7w on 13.8v, and on 6m FM the tx audio still distorts if you go above 5-6w (how is your 6m fm tx audio) i know your output power is lower on 6m, please tell me in the linex op system is there a way to calibrate the output power for each band, just so i can bring it up to the 5w on each band on battery power, i read that you have programmed yours to do up to the 10w on the built in battery, i am know good at programming but i know people who are, so if i do keep it i may load in your mods , but i know that you said you are planing to do it so we can just load it from the sd card, Thanks for your help and all that you are doing or this radio, Thanks Dave 2E0DMB

Have there been issues with exploding batteries?

Is there such a thing?

@@temporarilyoffline Maybe a nuke? :P

It's working

I am cautiously optimistic. They need to make the digital and WIFI/Bluetooth connectivity a little easier.

After a frustrating attempt to use both WINLINK and FT8 on the X6100 without success, I went to operate my IC 705 using wireless, and all digital modes to remember what right looks like.

@@TXLorenzo nice! My 705 isn't the happiest with wireless (or wired) digital. The X6100 does great wired in. Funny how that works out.

@@temporarilyoffline I just got my X6100 and I have not as yet got the latest (weekly?) update, so I am going to reserve judgement. I have a G90 as well and I have not had the issues in digital connectivity as I have had with the X6100. Hopefully, most these issue will be corrected with the current update. I just did not know I was going to be a beta tester. This SDR should have been tested with all the common digital modes popular with Hams, such as Winlink, FT8, JS8, ect... They should stick with a common emulation like an ICOM 7100 or something similar. Many programs have not developed specific models related to Xiegu radios, so you are going to have to generally do a workaround of some sort. My G90, for example was perfectly happy operating as an IC 7100 in WINLINK and other programs like HRD, ect.. I was just a little disappointed in the lack of software development with this radio. I think it has potential and maybe in a few months it will be sorted out. I do like the open source potential and maybe we will be able to use third party LINUX programs that are completed customized and have yet to be determined features. Just my two cents.

Who knows!
