We've known this was coming for a while, thanks to a video from ‪@temporarilyoffline‬ - but now we have a model number and a little more info. Take a look at the video and also check these links:

It is laughable that there are already seven 5.0 reviews for the radio on radioddity and we don't know what it looks like and it's not even released lol

@gsansoucie 6 месяцев назад

When you are more into making YT vids then actually operating or using gear.

No wonder they're phasing out the x100 yes the new x200 got to have one❤

@derektrounce937 6 месяцев назад

Look forward to seeing this new rig!

@gfodale 6 месяцев назад

I'm your odd bird that neither likes nor dislikes these radios. New (again) this year, to Ham Radio, and primary focus is Emcom, so this doesn't fit my plans. I look forward to POTA, as practice for Emcom setup etc. but current focus is 100 watts, and trying various antennas. Maybe when I get the priorities taken care of, I'll try one of these, but that's probably a couple years down the road at the earliest. Additionally, I used your link to Ham Radio Prep a couple days ago. Very happy with the progress being made. I find it easier to stay focused and train, rather than reading the books as I have been doing. It's also a confidence booster. Thanks!

@walteredwards544 6 месяцев назад

With WFM, this would be my perfect travel radio. Take it in the car, in a backpack or on the airplane and if its 20 Watts, it will work perfectly with my Comet Toybox antenna

@sk8crk Месяц назад

8 watts

@TinyTJ04 6 месяцев назад

This one should be interesting!!

@gtretroworld 6 месяцев назад

I did a video on this a few weeks ago when i spotted it over at Moonraker but there was no model number at the time, although they did list a price at £949 so it sounds like it will run along side the x6100 as maybe a higher end unit…

@yungerallenelectricalcontr6415 6 месяцев назад

6100 is one of my favorite radios in my shack, if this is doing 2m and has 20W I'm ready!!

@alexanderlinkevich 4 месяца назад

Only 8w 😢

@HamTechRadioScannerDrones 6 месяцев назад

@tulrich2 6 месяцев назад

Interesting, but more interesting would be to know whether Xiegu has a next-gen G90 upgrade in the works. Something with a bit more oomph (50 watts?), 6 meters, and maybe a sound card.

@brickerhaus 6 месяцев назад

I hope they go at least up to 20W. That would be killer. Love my 6100. Will probably buy this one as well. And will purchase the amplifier too here soon. Will probably not need anything else after this for a long time but this is Ham Radio. That is probably a lie. We all buy radios all the time. Damn this hobby is expensive.

@HamRadio2 6 месяцев назад

Lol true

@RonGoote 6 месяцев назад

In my opinion Xiegu would be better off releasing a budget minded 100 watt radio or a revamped version of the G-90. I own an X6100 and I would consider upgrading, if this radio has computerless FT8, additional power output, audio over blutooth. If the radio does none of that I'll stick with my X6100 until it takes a dump

@HamRadio2 6 месяцев назад

Yep

@walteredwards544 6 месяцев назад

Please let this be 20 Watts 🥰💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✔️

@kirkfitis8038 6 месяцев назад

@stephanhersey1186 6 месяцев назад

I might be interested if it's a G90 with a sound card. 20 watts internal tuner and internal sound card. Sounds good to me. Steve, k7ofg.

@DominicMazoch 6 месяцев назад

Have Ic703+, and aHeil Icom headset and external noise filter I got a Rosenberg show. I will use them for now. If I need a qro rig, I would wait and see how good this is.

@kevlarnegative 6 месяцев назад

Might be my 1st HF rig, depending on price

@sk8crk Месяц назад

$1000

@ronrico2620 6 месяцев назад

It would have to be a real good price for me to get it before the reviews come out. But 20 watts and internal battery would cool. I like backpacking to the middle of nowhere for radio so small is good. Ive been lugging a g90 and 20amp/hr battery miles

@temporarilyoffline 6 месяцев назад

The remote control for this radio will be "WFView" which runs on the internal linux OS. You can use WFView with a TON of radios. We first did WFView on Nuggets with an IC-7610.

@HamRadio2 6 месяцев назад

Still seems unappealing to use with a QRP radio.

@temporarilyoffline 6 месяцев назад

@@HamRadio2 for sure!

@PaulReedy 6 месяцев назад

@@HamRadio2maybe, but it does give the ability to have a larger screen and easier control of the radio. Many features may be right there on the screen instead of digging through a menu system on the radio. It would also let you use any usb headset through the computer.

@undrhil 6 месяцев назад

Modern ham just released a video about hosting a web server using python on the x6100

@ke8mattj 6 месяцев назад

I much rather they fix the bugs in the x6100 and maybe release some hardware that makes it all-band. It had a lot of potential that they squandered. It looks like they'll be making the same mistakes here too (especially not making it all-band like the IC-705.) The custom firmware did a great job of making it much more useful. At this rate, I might as well regulate it to a full time JS8Call station while waiting for my QDX and save up for an IC-705.

@HamRadio2 6 месяцев назад

Agreed

@W8MJL 6 месяцев назад

I had my eye on the 6100 after selling my 5105 but with all the bugs i decided to hold off. With the announcement of the 6200 a couple months ago i figured I'll just wait and see what comes out. I have my 891 but I'm just hoping for something more portable but budget friendly for POTA, SOTA or anything OTA and traveling. 73 de W8MJL

@norrinradd8952 6 месяцев назад

I'll buy another Xiegu when they put out a 50-100 watt all-band/all-mode radio with all the great features of their radios combined. They just never hit the mark for me. The G90 isn't bad but by the time you buy the amp and the GSOC (fail) you should have just bought a FT-991A.

6 месяцев назад

The portable G90 isn't supposed to compete with the FT-991A, which is a compact base station.

@norrinradd8952 6 месяцев назад

@LukaSlovic First of all, the FT-991A is absolutely intended for portable use. From Yaesu's website: "FT-991A ALL-BAND, MULTIMODE PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER" "Compact, Lightweight & Portable" "The FT-991 Comes in a compact, lightweight package suitable for portable, mobile and base installations. Measuring 8.8"(W) x 3" (H) x 9.9" (L) at just 9.7 pounds this robust full featured mobile/portable radio is ready to go when and where you are!" Second, I wasn't comparing the radios, nor did I claim the G90 somehow competes with the FT-991A, those were your words. I was pointing out that by the time you buy all the accessories intended to address the shortcoming of the G90, you might as well have bought the FT-991A because it is CHEAPER: G90: 445.00 GSOC: 420.00 XPA125B: 600.00 TOTAL: 1465.00 FT991A: 1300.00 Finally, not only do you pay more for Xiegu, you still don't get 6m/2m/70cm and C4FM. Also, the G90/GSOC/AMP combo weighs about the same as the FT-991A. The Yaesu seems like an obvious choice for a portable HF rig over the G90/GSOC/AMP. Again, not that I was comparing them originally, because I wasn't, but to make the case for portability. I stand by my original comment. FT-991A > G90/GSOC/XPA125B.

@alvinnorris6523 6 месяцев назад

I have had most of the Xiegu hf radios and still have the g90: I might buy this one when it comes out. I hope it will at least be a twenty watt radio but I feel it won’t.

@DominicMazoch 6 месяцев назад

By the time you get this and the amp, you will be in I 7300 or Y 710 field price range. Now why doesn't Y, I, K, A or X make. A QRP rig with a dockind station amp?

@coincidentalrvadventures2081 6 месяцев назад

I think I'm going to wait for a year after it comes out before I buy another radio.

@JonathanKayne 6 месяцев назад

I don't particularly care all that much unless they fix the frontend overloading issue or they sell it for an amazing price. I forgive the G90 because it's such a great price, but the x6100 not so much. I have very little hope that they will fix it since literally every radio they have made has this issue and I'm 99% certain they know about it.

@nathanharig 6 месяцев назад

It's a bit of a bummer that the page is already review bombed, it becomes hard to trust manufacturer and distributor sites when that happens and I don't know how good a radio actually is until I get to see others review it on youtube. I avoided an x6100 because of birdies in reviews (not sure if that was ever fixed) and if this is the same, I'll stick with my G90.
