new g106 owner
kg4zqz
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 Robert 73's |
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, randy.ab9go@...

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.
