Did you get happen to get power output and SWR indications when transmitting?
No, I couldn't get things to work well at all.? Especially the PTT command to go into Transmit mode.? I seemed to be having trouble with the USB adapter cable.
What I'm really hoping for is to be able to use an Android phone or tablet for control and logging.? So far, though, I've spent a few hours trying with my Windows laptop, and all my 'luck' has been bad.
Also, I think I remember reading that the IC-7000 rig setting in WSJT or FLRig works with the X5105, and that Xiegu says to use that choice - but that it's not "fully" supported.? I was mainly trying to find a way to program the memory channels and all efforts resulted in total failure.? Also zero success with PTT.
I'll be trying again, but have been busier lately with new access to 160 meters using my old IC-706MkII.? In my first week, I've worked 47 states - Montana couldn't hear me, and seems to be about the rarest of the 48.
