Ok - been watching all the youtube videos both good and not-so-great.? Found one on ebay from a reputable seller second hand.? Hoping for the best and preparing for the worst.? I'm an avid Xiegu fan, owning and having a lot of fun with my G106, G90, and x6100.? We don't talk about the GSOC in the house anymore as things do tend to get thrown around a bit.?

Like George - looking for a better manual and what support places there are for this radio.? The WhatsApp channel seems to have gone away.

Thanks Bob very helpful

I’ve been digging into throw radio now for several hours. ?The verdict is that with the exception of 160m being around 13 watts out everything else is up to spec. ?The interface takes lots of micro button pushing but the flexibility and filtering are excellent. ?Made several cw contacts last night, and used FLRig to tune around easier. ?Cat control setup is a breeze with flrig, ham radio deluxe, and dxcimmander. ?All in all like the radio a lot. ?

the separate vhf/uhf antenna situation with the dmr module installed is a pain, but since I plan on using this on satellite maybe this will be a blessing.

still learning but very happy with the rig.

Great to hear, Bob. And, glad to hear that the usual ham apps work well in your experience. I would recommend that those who have use Fldigi do that soon. Or, install the CNSDR which looks like familiar SW reverse engineered. It is even set up for N1MM.

You have a more recent version of the firmware than I have been wrestling with. I hope I have better experiences when I do that.

I can't seem to get CNSDR to work reliably.? The CAT portion works, but no waterfall or spectrum scope.? Wish it did as it would open up more of the features on the desktop compared with other rig control programs that just partially implement.? Any secrets out there to getting CNSDR to work properly?

If you hit play at the bottom of the app, that starts the waterfall. See if that works.?

When I do that I get an error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Have you tried going to the speaker settings and select q900 ?

Hi Bob,?

The Whatsapp group is still there, but I think this gives more structure...

Thanks, Dick. Yes, this is better! I see on What's App that you can't see any earlier messages from when you join, is that correct?

I have been on the WhatsApp channel for two days and got most of my answers within an hour! I don't know how to invite people or get the link, but? I got it from a scan from my dealer on eBay, fineshop. Here is what I scanned it from, I don't know if it will show here as it's an image:

I'll bet that is the original What's App Q900 site!
