Re: PC/Computer Control and Memory Programming for the X5105
Sorry, but I don't use any of those. I did listen once wit JS8CALL, but its settings and operation are the same as WSJT-X. Maybe it's your interface unit. -- Doug, K8RFT

Re: x6100
I¡¯ve worried that myself. After all the FW updates &c, even with all it¡¯s faults, the X5105 is still a darn good field QRP radio. If the 6100 manages to be better, well, sure: temptation. But the

Re: Xiegu X6100 HF Transceiver
I think it's fair to say that the GSOC was a near-disaster (rare for Xiegu). Too bad you weren't on their product advisory board, Frank, hi.

Re: PC/Computer Control and Memory Programming for the X5105
I would like to know what your setting are on your x5105 and whatever application(s) you are using. I can't get FLRIG, JS8CAll, or WInlink to connect using the digimode-4 unit. Greg

Re: New member - Hello
I've got the Digimode-4. The interface manufacturer has suggested using the IC 7000to emulate the 5105. I've tried both the 7000 and 710? with no luck. The error I get though is a bit different

Re: Xiegu X6100 HF Transceiver
I'm in the wait-and-see boat. I sent in a request for a review loaner on the 6100 but I won't likely make the cut. The GSOC situation has been painful to watch as someone who has advised companies on

Re: Xiegu X6100 HF Transceiver

Re: AM TRANSMIT DISTORTION
I think that is the consensus Stuart. But at that distance from the mic I believe you will find your modulation percentage is very low. Dale W4OP Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2021 9:56 AM To:

Re: Xiegu X6100 HF Transceiver
I'm a glutton for punishment. I've Pre-ordered the X6100. I'll be selling my X5105 to my brother-in-law.? I'm in consolidation mode now and also may end up selling my G90 and GSOC, if the X6100
