Re: G106 and winlink express?

 

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!

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?


output

 

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.


[XIEGU-G106] - PTT interface

 

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... ??

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

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

Re: Has anyone tried one of these? New microphone.

 

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

Has anyone tried one of these? New microphone.

 

Available on eBay for around 47 dollars shipped from China.? Interested in perking up the audio on SSB as it is a little dull. One thing I do worry about is this is a dynamic microphone and the original microphone is an electret. If the manufacturer did not include a dc blocking capacitor it could ruin the dynamic element in short order or damage the radio itself.

Thanks,

Re: new firmware

 

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.

Re: new firmware

 

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.

new firmware

 

Latest firmware update for the Xiegu G106 was 1.2 build 03 (October 10, 2022). That is more than 7 months ago. Will new firmware be coming soon? PS for the G90 and X6100 more IV commands are added (essentially the same IV commands as used the IC-705). Will the G106 follow?


G106 and winlink express?

 

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.
