Re: FW: 1st QSO

Jeff, K9JP
 

Hello, Peter

I have been using my 6100 for a few months now running FT-8 mode and I would like to suggest?you add a 12V cooling fan blowing at the bottom of the back of the transceiver. There are cooling fins on Amazon, that if you do not mind the added size will really help dissipate?the transmitter?heat.
Reducing the display lighting level will also help to reduce the internal temperature of the 6100. Those are something I have learned these past few months.

Hope this might be helpful to you.

73, Jeff K9JP

My first FT8 QSO with my X6100 running latest firmware and running 5w

?

Cuba on 30m after midnight from UK, I would class that as a win, was only expecting EU

?

Couple of observations,

?

  • In DIGI mode it does run? very warm
  • You have yo be in USB dig mode on the x6100 or it ignores the digital input
  • Have to play with dig in level as well as volume from PC and WSJT-x level to get the output clean
  • Its very good at throttling output back with high SWR (forgot ATU and wondered why could only get 1.5-1.8w out ? )

?

The other interesting point I found I run FLRig had the rig set as X6100 and every 20-30 minutes the display would blank and rig reset?? As some others had reported

?

I was having issues getting WSJT-x to talk to FLRig, and tried the IC705, and found nor more screen blank and radio has run flawlessly for 8 hours

Hi Charles,

The default ip address and gateway in my x6100 was set to 192.168.3.x, I changed these to 192.168.0.x? the same as my pc and I could then connect via SSH.

Regards

Thank you and the root pwd is what it used to be.

I can get the radio on my wifi but not connect to the radio from a computer or app.

I was trying to login to the x6100 radio with putty and other apps over wifi and it won't accept the username and password. root/123

I was hoping to use remote control software over wifi if possible.

Any info on that would be appreciated

X6100_FW_V1.1.6-20221102001.zipX6100 Firmware Update Instructions >>> The latest version number: V1.1.6 >>> Last updated on: 2022.11.02

The firmware version number information after this update is as follows: (View in SYSTEM SETTING---SYSTEM INFO)

APP : V1.1.6 Nov 2 2022,13:10:22

BASE : V1.1.6 Nov 1 2022, 17:37:32

===================================================== =========

2022.11.03 Update details

1. Added some CI-V instruction sets. (For details, please refer to "X6100 Added CI-V Instructions" in the folder).

2. Added Bluetooth SPP, you can use FLRIG, Omni-Rig and other PC software to control X6100 wirelessly.

?? After the Bluetooth is connected to the computer, press the key combination Win+R, enter bthprops.cpl and press Enter, click "More Bluetooth Settings" in the pop-up interface,

?? In the pop-up "Bluetooth Settings" window, click the "COM Port" tab, the port named "X6100 Bluetooth 'Serial Port'" is the Bluetooth CI-V interface,

?? example:

?? Port Direction Name

?? COM3 outgoing X6100 Bluetooth 'Serial Port'

For the usage and configuration of the Bluetooth virtual serial port, please refer to the file "Bluetooth virtual serial port usage and tools" in the compressed package.

3. Fixed the problem that the fc marker on the spectrogram is wrong when the MODEM is turned on (for example, the CW mode will display 2 marker lines, but there can only be one)

4. Optimized the sd card flashing process, user data (channel data, recording data, configuration data) will not be deleted when flashing

5. Adjust the main interface display content

?? 5.1 Added time display area, showing LOCAL TIME and UTC TIME respectively

?? 5.2 Added RIT/XIT display area

?? 5.3 Added time domain graphic display of demodulated signal (oscilloscope)

?? 5.4 Added filter icon and filter group display

6. Added the automatic reference level of waterfall chart, which will be automatically adjusted under strong signal, and the signal can be seen more clearly

7. Corrected the Bluetooth connection algorithm to solve the problem that the interface cannot be started due to Bluetooth, and the interface has been waiting in circles

8. Fixed NTP time synchronization problem (NTP time synchronization needs to be able to access the Internet)

9. Display the MAC address in the title bar of the Bluetooth/WiFi setting menu, which is convenient for users to query

10. Optimized the operation logic of the time setting menu

11. Optimized FFT SPAN function, changed to 4 blocks: 100k, 50k, 25k, 12.5k

12. Adjust the operation logic of the flat menu, when pressing "MFK", select the current item to the "Quick Adjustment Tab" and return to the main window

??? Example 1: "TX POWER" is selected in "RADIO SETTING1", press "MFK", "TX POWER" is added to the "Quick Adjustment Tab" in the upper left corner

??? Example 2: "FFT SPAM" is selected in "DISPLAY SETTINGS", press "MFK", "FFT SPAM" is added to the "Quick Adjustment Tab" in the upper left corner

13. Optimized baseband AGC algorithm

?1) AGC time constant is more accurate

?2) The noise floor is very small when the antenna is not connected (except FM mode)

The modified algorithm has a higher recognition degree for small signals. If you feel that the waterfall chart is too blue, you can appropriately increase the WF REF parameter value in the DISPSETTING menu.

Anyone got the “Added some CI-V instruction sets. (For details, please refer to "X6100 Added CI-V Instructions" in the folder).”

?

Curious to see if the ATU can now be controlled over CAT like the G90? Also the power slider in FLRig will work correctly with these new commands
