So I just received my G106 and it has F/W Version 1.2 Oct 10, 2022?
SSB sounds like everyone else's and is acceptable.
CW adds an extra dit? ?Anyone else have this? ?Does 1.3 solve this?

Yes. I had a DIGIRIG that I used with my TX-500. As I didn't want to invest again in a new interface I just bought the cables. DIGIRIG works very well with my G-106. But I only do very little digital mode (only RTTY).

great info. It gives me more info on the microphone.
do you have any info on a generic de-9 interface? maybe something like the easydigi? Have u tried any interfaces for digital modes?

I saw this video today.? For those who are interested: it gives i.m.h.o. a good and honest 'very first impression' of the G106:?

Here is a photo of g106 sitting at top a G90. Photo is a little skewed because the G90 has the cooling fan option attached. It's somewhat longer but the width is close and the depth is close.

I use the Digirig interface with my G 106. It works well.

You can DIY an audio interface for a few bucks, using a cheap USB audiodongle, two 600 Ohm transformers (in and out) and a mini din plug. Plse google, there are many schematics around. NB Xiegu mini din pins = the same as Yaesu.
for CAT you can use the same cable as for the G90. You'll find them cheap at ebay or ali.
But a DE-19 is easier ;-)

Hello David.
I use this amplifier. It works very well with my G-106:
I use the 50 Watt HF/6m Power Amplifier for Yaesu FT-817, Icom
IC-703/705, Elecraft KX3.
Whern i purchased it, the version with bandswitch did not exist.
I build an interface to command the PTT with the G-2106 (See
attachment).

Hello everyone,
New member here. I just picked up a used g-106 off ebay for $125.
seems to be working but havent made any contacts yet.
Anyone know of any RF Power Amplifiers that will mate with the
g-106 easily? I looked around an some wont match up.
Any suggestions?

Randy, Jo,
Thanks for the great info. Randy, How is the G90? I love how the g-106 is compact. is the g90 small enough to sneak into a small case with battery and such?

You can purchase the Xiegu XPA125B and it works well with the G106, but I doubt that you will want to spend 5 times the cost of your G106 for the amp!? ?A good quality amp costs money unfortunately.? There are some kit amps in the $250-300 range but I have no experience with them.? ?I have a Xiegu XPA125B but I got it to go with my G90.??
Randy AB9GO
p.s.? Remember that not only is the XPA125B an amplifier, it also has a built in automatic wide band? antenna tuner.??

hello,
anyone know of any digital hookup i can use instead of spending $70 or $80 for a de-9 digital matching unit?
Any suggestions that have worked will be appreciated.

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.

Re: Microphone modification
Hi?
Thanks for the tip!
ps I wonder if a tinier hole (say 2 mm) would also work.

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

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

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!
