X5105 Issues


 

Im new to the X5105 and QRP. I picked it up the other day a d a radio flea. Seems to work perfectly. Made a contact in Norway, 3349 miles with 5 watts antenna was a dipole. The issue im having is, it seems to have the original firmware. When trying to update, the docs i found says to plug in the power while holding in up/down, DATA light should come on and it does. Then, plug in the serial cable into CIV port and connect with teraterm, set port to 115200 and the hit spacebar and menu should come up. No menu ever comes up. Also when plugging in the usb cable, the display on the radio is supposed to say something about erasing the radio., This does not happen either. So i can't seem to connect to the radio. Tried multiple cables. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.? Thanks


 

I have uploaded 3 versions of the X5105 factory instruction manuals - of different ages.
They are in their own directory inside the group "Files" directory or section.
Hopefully there will be the correct firmware update instructions for your radio in one of these versions of the manual.

You could also try this web site page at Radioddity, the dealer where I got my X5105.
