Re: What hardware is needed for RTTY/data with X5105?

Yes

You cab set it up as a IC-7000 and it works no problem. You will need the CE19 interface which comes with the necessary leads.

Set WSJT-X communications to be for an Icom IC-7100.
XIegu uses the Icom CI-V communications protocol.? But only partially!? You can control frequency, mode, TX/RX and maybe a few other things, but not memory storage or "channel" preset storage or labeling.

Re: X5105 Switch on Problem

 

Try loading an earlier firm wear version.? Make sure you're following the instructions for the version of the firm wear you're installing.? I don't recall all the issues I had, but I think I acquired the instructions from one site & the actual firm wear from another.? When I followed the first instructions, the radio appeared 'dead' & I thought I'd killed the radio.? I re-read & compared the instructions, followed the instructions with the second download & was successful.? I've not attempted any more recent updates.? YMMV, of course.? Good luck!? 73, Dan

Hi James

Yes I have heard that some users have tried 10 or more times with apparent successful upload each time before success.

I have tried this with no luck so far.

Hi Kevin

Thanks for the tip had not heard about that one¡­.but using Teraterm.

Hi JP
Thanks for the reply.
Was not working when I got it.
I suspect that although I was able to update the firmware, the battery was too low to turn on.However having now recharged it directly, I cannot access the boot loader at all .:-/
I will check the brass posts to see if there are any issues there.

Steve,

X5105 Switch on Problem

 

Hello All,

I recently acquired a used X5105., and so far have been unable to switch on and access any functions.

-It will not switch on , no normal power up with or without external DC supply.

-No response to hold Menu and On button.

- I have been able to access the firmware update XG Bootloader mode by pressing both up/down buttons and on button, and seems I have successfully uploaded latest 3.0 firmware.
However once loaded it does not go back to charge/standby mode as expected.
This is the only action where I have seen the screen light up.
Strangely accessing the bootloader is only possible with the internal battery, and does not work when an external dc supply is connected?

I have checked the battery charge level directly all seems OK.

So any suggestions about a possible remedy would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I want to use N1MM logging/contesting programme F keys to send CW.? I have a bespoke interface which connects the rig to a computer through the data port and the CAT socket, and it reads the radio perfectly.? It goes to TX and then to RX, but there is no output. I have tried a work-around (which works on the KW3) using KY codes, but the 5105 will not accept these or direct logging programme CW inputs.? Is there any way to get it to work, or will I have to use a WinKey-type interface as well--which will be a nuisance with more equipment to take into the field. Ed--GM0WED

Im using? X108g
19200
8-1-none
VOX
Default sound settings

Im using a XGG.COMMS Interface with no supporting program, just WSJT-X Version 2.1.1 IIRC.
No issues at all. Rig control works fine.

I'll attach a screenshot.

Using CI-V for other uses, like memory or channel management, though, does NOT work with the X5105.

Re: What hardware is needed for RTTY/data with X5105?

 

how do I set the baud rate on the X5105?
Re: What hardware is needed for RTTY/data with X5105?

 

so the X5105 has is rig control able?

what are the interface connections you are using?
Re: What hardware is needed for RTTY/data with X5105?

 

I have also run a USB sound card dongle but I have to run a TRRS cable from that to a now unavailable interface & homebrew connector to the non-Yaesu standard Xiegu data jack. Works fine on FT8. Haven¡¯t messed with RTTY in decades. Just doesn¡¯t feel right, not running it thru a KW7, ¡®though I¡¯m sure one of Putin¡¯s minions in N. Korea could find me a working model ;-).?

In truth, the USB dongle & accouterments has been superseded by the IC-705¡¯s little USB connector & wifi/Bl?T?nd capabilities.

can you share a picture of your preferances on the software. did you need to download any special drivers?

Im using Xiegu X-108 as the rig selection with WIN 10 and EGGCOMMS interface. All functions including rig control are normal.

Not sure where to start but I'm going to try to connect again and see if I can play with drivers and get some signals recieved and decoded for starts.
