Hi Georgyi,

?

?many thanks for your work. Here some preliminary comments:

?

- putting the .tgz into the DATA partition of the SD card was easy with my old Linux netbook.

- I like the new way to switch between the setup pages with the GEN/APP buttons.

- The new icons for battery and external voltage are nice.

- Updating time via an USB GPS module still works

- The new way to set filter width is very cool!

FT8 reception worked well, I did not test transmission yet - more time needed.

A hint for all who have problems with the new firmware: the X6100 seems to be very finicky when booting from a microSD card. I had the X6100 freeze randomly and other weird problems until I systematically tested different cards. Even cards from well-known manufacturers gave problems. I could not pinpoint any root cause, such as speed, size or make/fake, I simply tested until I had a card that ran without issues. I remember having similar experiences with embedded systems and SD cards at work.

?

Another tip: I use the SD card formatter from the SD Association, the manufacturer organisation for SD cards:

This should remove all old partitions, even hidden ones, and gives Rufus or Balena Etcher a clean slate to work with.

?

Again, thanks Oleg and Georgyi for your excellent work.

Greetings,
