If one were to install a ground lug like the ic705, where would be the simplest place to do so? ?Where would be the best place to do so? ?For anything that requires opening up the radio, is their a youtube video describing it?

Re: X6100 with Micro PA 50 amplifier
You may need to make up a cable using the wiring details for the ACC port in the manual, with the tip and sleeve of a 3.5mm TRRS plug connected to the center and ground of an RCA plug for the other end (assuming the PA50 uses an RCA connector for the PTT in).
I can confirm from experience that this works perfectly, with my 6100 keying an RM MLA100.

I recently acquired a Micro PA50 amplifier to use with my X6100.? I'm using it in the RF-sensing trigger and band switching mode but would like to use a cable.? Does anyone know what cable to use? An ordinary stereo cable doesn't work, probably because the X6100 has an extra connection for ALC.
Tnx

The reason nobody makes an attachable mount is that there¡¯s no provision for attachment to the side of the X6100 like the ground lug screw on the IC-705.? I think the only way to get there is something like the method you have used.
Thanks, everyone, I appreciate all of the suggestions.? Looks like no one makes a mount that attaches to the radio itself for support like the one I linked for the IC-705.? Everything mentioned here and what I've found on my own require a flat surface under the radio for the support.
Since I'd have to have the radio on a flat surface using any of those, I cobbled up a mount using a tiny camera tripod that I already own, and a 3 ft piece of coax. I won't be walking around with it but it is good enough for now.? I'll keep my eyes out for a truly portable mount and will let the group know if I find anything.

Re: X6100 with Micro PA 50 amplifier
I made up a cable and tried it briefly. ?It worked but seemed to override the delay in CW. ?I'll have to check it further.

?The Wi-Fi is working

Re: X6100 with Micro PA 50 amplifier
For my amp I got a 4pole 3.5mm cable from eBay it had phono plugs on the other end, but I did find that the one that had the tx out did not use the same 0V ground so I had to use a meter and find the correct ground, I wish I just got the plug buy it's self, as it is a bit heavy as there are 4 screened cables coming out of it, but it is molded to the plug, Dave 2E0DMB
Thanks, Dave.? Yes, I see that. The PA50 uses a standard stereo plug so I'm guessing I'll have to make up one with a 4-pole plug on one end and a 3 pole on the other.

The Wi-Fi is working as I have used it to go into the Linux program on the radio and change the font colors so that they are easier to see. Red on Blue just didn't cut it so I researched other people changing the colors and I followed their directions and used my laptop with the programs recommended and was able to modify the font colors. This is really a cool little radio.

Re: The new warranty replacement failed within a week.
Same issue here, but I have no option to replace radio easy way, I've bought it via Aliexpress, so only Ali thinking about you if sth fail up to 2 weeks, still have broken radio and lack of service manual is painful, also Xiegu have no external service outside China and such thing is no no... This is my last radio from them.

Exactly what you said (not easy) and what I asked for (release the information).

I don't care if it were the first time or not. You havent released the info afaik. Even if I could not do it myself, I have enough resources that could help. But so far: zero, zilch.

And if you realy want to keep it out of the public (because it is so difficult) you could mail me, right? My address is easy to be found.
