Yes, there is a command line utility application for the Mac, too.?

Can the firmware be updated with a Mac book?

I have a USB connected from Mac to X5105 com port and can see the USB connection on my max as USBSerial-1130 but now what. Is there a program I need to download to run the firmware upgrade?

I forgot the rig was on in the shack and I was working CW on another rig. I thing I overloaded the front end and I'm not ever able to copy the FT8 on 7.075. This sucks!

anyway, Is there a known fix for this or maybe a factory reset or sortware update?

It works without the mic plugged in if DSP-FLT is set to on.? Weird how a receive setting affects it.? But I'm making contacts now and that's the important thing.

Here's a guy using a Malachite SDR receiver as a pandapter.? He has the "backwards" issue, too.

I wanted to see what signals are "on the band" and wished for a radio with a 'real time' bandscope.? The X5105's signal scan feature is sort of helpful, but awkward to use.? And I haven't found a way to be sure of the frequency of a signal shown on the 'scope.

So I ordered a tiny SDR module kit and an adapter for MCX connector to SMA connector.? The X5105 has an I.F. output jack, presumably for a bandscope - their GSOC display unit.
It worked, but the frequency display on the scope turned out to be "backwards", with the higher frequency end on the left side of the display, so it looks like it's scanning 'downward' in frequency.

Now there's another little "kit" with the SDR module that comes with an MCX-SMA adapter at Amazon:

Nooelec NESDR Mini 2+ 0.5PPM TCXO RTL-SDR & ADS-B USB Receiver Set w/Antenna, Mount & Female SMA Adapter. RTL2832U & R820T2 Tuner. Low-Cost Software Defined Radio for Windows, Mac OS & Linux

AND NOW I see there are multiple videos on youtube about doing this and getting it set up.? (I haven't watched any yet - only just discovered them a few minutes ago.)

To work well, you need a PC that can run the SDR program as well as any other programs you may need, so it needs to be a fairly fast CPU system with plenty of RAM.

I'm currently not able to use my system, but if anyone else tries a setup like this - please post your results and opinions to this group.

NOTE- my normal mode of operation is FT8, which has a sort of 'built in' bandscope.? For other operating modes, a bandscope would be really nice.? Knowing there's activity on the band makes it seem more worthwhile to send a CQ.

I only use my X5105 for FT8, and have never plugged in the microphone.
(Well, I did actually make one voice contact a couple of years ago, but used the built-in mic.)
You could also check with Radioddity's Tech Service department - they have been helpful with the X5105.

Thanks for the replies.? The solution was to plug in the mic!? But I'm thinking it's more of a serendipitous workaround than a proper solution.? Do you guys have/need your mics plugged in when working FT8?

Audio level from PC output setting?
(My PC often switches sound to MUTE when I close the laptop lid.? Took a while to figure that one out!)
Try transmitting with PC sound output set to "speaker" (of PC) to be sure PC audio is being generated.

Uograding to 3.0 fixed this. Alsi got better receive and the missing highlight over active digit for tuning shows up

Maybe power settings?

Hello fellow users,

FT8 issue that I've seen asked but can't find the solution: No output from the X5105.

Using WSJT-X and flrig on Andy's Ham Radio Linux (xubuntu 22.04)

Rig control works and FT8 signals are decoded.

X5105 Settings
MIC/VOX: Internal and External, no difference
S/P : Speaker or phone, no difference
LIN/OUT: on/on
PTT: Normal or Toggle, no difference

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi,
where are you guys setting your RSSI scale. Should it be at 50???

I am waiting for the usb cable to di a firmware update. I am currently on 1.04xx. Every time I turn it on cw is disabled and the buttons are locked

I have read that Xiegu radios use the Icom CAT commands language, and the article suggested setting the IC-7100 as the radio.? That works for my X5105.?? (It does not work for programming memories or messages, though.)

I have also, more recently, set the "RIG" as G90, and that works for 'basic' commands like frequency and 'transmit'.? I use only FT8, so I don't need very many CAT commands.

Hi all,
I had the problem to control my tuner via flrig on my HamPi. My flrig let me only switch the frequency or modulation.
I couldn?t find a documentation of the CAT commands for the X5105.
The only docu I found was here:?
which is the docu for the G90.

But you can use it for the X5105 too. You only need to switch the bit x88 to x70 and it works for me!

Example:
Start auto tune on G90:?xFE xFE x88 xE0 x1C x01 x02 xFD
Start auto tune on X5105:?xFE xFE x70 xE0 x1C x01 x02 xFD

You can add the config strings simply in the commands tab and give the command a name. Done.
Most of the commands for the G90 works on the X5105, too.

I hope, I could help someone with this hack ;)

I have put together some information on a solar power source for 2 types of QRP rigs in the field.?
