Has anayone found out how to get the G106 working correctly with WINLINK Express/varahf. Set as an ICOM radio the PTT via CAT does not hold longer than 1 sec. This is an issue. Other digimodes like JS*Call via FLRIG work fine.

If you go to the radioddity.com website you will find version 1.3 available for download and a new user manual written around V1.3.

Hi Randy,

Thanks. I did not know ;-) I was searching the Xiegu website for new firmware, couldn't find it there (might have overlooked it). Thanks to your tip I found it on the radioditty-site.

Today I spotted that there is a new review for the G106: see??

Hi Randy

Nice! I purchased a similar 'tactical' handset as a -still ongoing mini- project. The G106 is one of a few HF-radio's that support a speaker? & mic via the front connector (?). So it should work easily.

I rewired the handheld as in the schematic I draw (incl PTT). See the images below.? You can be creative and add a compressor module in the handset. Still have to test it though... In theory it should work!

BTW: in the schematic 'geel' means Yellow, 'zwart' means Black, 'wit'means White and 'rood' means Red. ;-)

kind regards

new owner here; picked up one from the s. american river last week... left an eham review w/my experiences... just crafted two rj9 headphone adapters... this will make life easier on my /p outings (had to use the speaker, which was OK, but with HC-130 aircraft flying overhead, park lawnmowers and grass blowers, cars, panhandlers, and curious passerby around in the local park, listening to faint sigs was difficult - although i did snag CO on my last outing from down here in the Near Tropics)

i'm leaving the mic in the box as i will primarily use the rig for CW - it seems to work FB... rig arrived w/1.2, but a minute later was easily upgraded to 1.2...

now if only Xiegu would enable MEM->VFO copy, this rig would be great... i get around this limitation by using the BSM menu setting (seems easier to QSY)

my question: the documentation for the DE-19 shows an incorrect DB connector on the rear of the rig that does not match the actual connector on the rig! anyone have a link to a corrected or updated DE-19 sheet?

tks, and 72, bill, kg4zqz

i saw this mic... i have one for the G90 but have never used it... may cut off the connector and try it...

Hello the group.

For those who want to build a PTT interface to command an amplifier (or an other equipment) with the G106 without destroying its ACC interface... ??

Has anyone measured the rf output of the G106 at different supply voltage levels? it is done for the x6100, there the full output is at 9 V already. Higher voltages just produce more heat.

Robert, what are you usng to interface the G106? to your computer?

Have you been able to resolve all or part of the issue and if so would you share?

It was a firmware issue. All is solved with the latest firmware update (1.1.7). BTW i'm using a DE-19 interface. All works well now!

Just starting my HF journey, but chose the G106 as my first HF rig.? Attracted to QRP.? Especially digital Winlink e-mail with VARA HF.? Got the DE-19 but haven't tried that yet.? Local ham club does a weekly 10 meter net via groundwave, so I deployed my EFHW 40/20/10m sloper, and got 4 contacts - my first ever HF contacts!??

Very pleased to just deploy and succeed on the first try!

On to digital!

the de-19 works nice. Succes with configuring for winlink!

Hi all!
Attached is a pdf file to modify the microphone for better modulation.

Best 73,

Hi?

Thanks for the tip!

ps I wonder if a tinier hole (say 2 mm) would also work.

Robert

I did the AE3OW-mod today (but with a 2 mm hole). Works great!

PS:? if you want to open the mic-enclosure you need a Torx nr 6 (T-6) srewdriver.
Inside the mic normal (#1 ?) phillips screws are used to hold the pcb -on which the electret is mounted- in place.
