Hi Georgyi,

first, congratulations for your amazing work, I love your user interface!

I have booted the R1CBU-R0.23_sdcard.img version and worked with FT8 mode to figure-out how usable it would be on a portable/SOTA activity.

Looks fine, except for one thing:

whatever the TX power is set at, (I have tried less than 5W, more than 5W, up to 10W), the output power on 20m band is always ca 2.5W

I do see the warning message about the reduced power to 5W... I wish I had these 5W!

It seems Jens/HB9JOI experiences a similar issue (see below) and would appreciate some advise on how to clear this limitation.

X6100:

Base V1.1.6 Nov 1 2022

Thanks for your help,

Hoi Georgyi ...

?

...there is a power issue in FT8 :?

20m only 1 watt , 17m/15m only 2 watt .

Hi.

First of all - thanks for all, who provided a feedback of previous versions.

I switched to Github actions for build an whole image. Actual release available on the on GitHub. It's a full image, not the update.

You can preserve your configurations and changes:
* Copy params.db from DATA partition of SD card to some place BEFORE flashing new image

* Flash image

* Boot transceiver with inserted SD card, then poweroff

* Open saved params.db with any sqlite3 software (e.g. ) and execute SQL

UPDATE memory SET val = 3 WHERE name like "vfoa_mode" and (id >= 100 OR id < 300)

* Insert SD card back to the computer and replace params.db on DATA partition with saved version
