Re: Does the 5105 support an unamplified 8ohm speaker?
Interesting topic for the X5105. I was not thrilled with the X5105 speaker and decided to DIY and built a custom, active stereo audio amp for this radio and other QRP radios equipped with a low-level

Re: Does the 5105 support an unamplified 8ohm speaker?
And, not too long ago, I bought a little "Ki" rechargeable powered speaker to use with the X5105.? It does give a volume boost!? I have not yet used the speaker "on the air" yet, though.
It is

I can't answer your question directly, just add a bit of background.? First off, I prefer headphones, and have not tried using any sort of external speaker, either powered or 'plain.'? The headphone

Re: Which power output to be used with FT8 ?
Sorry, I wasn't correct or complete there - that's my total QSOs, using all 3 radios (first IC-706MkII at 12 watts, then X5105 and 2 watts, and for the last 2 years an FTdx10 at 10 watts.

Re: Which power output to be used with FT8 ?
You've had really great results with 5W output!? Maybe try 'how low can you go?'? Try 1W?? 500mW?? I think this rig will 'turn down' to 100mW, too.

Re: Which power output to be used with FT8 ?
Isn't 'good amateur radio practice' to use the minimum power level to communicate?
And, I'll agree with the 'turn it down a bit' so not to fry the radio.

Re: Which power output to be used with FT8 ?
Due to the relatively high duty cycle of FT8, I run my X5105 set for 2 watts output.
I feel that it's better to be safe than sorry.? Especially with the lack of repair support from Xiegu.

Re: intermittent power output
Yeah, when you remove the end cap do it very gingerly because there are springs in there that lock the stand in the open position.? Examine how that lock piece is pushed into the notch in the stand
