I'm glad this is useful to someone. I really hope for your comments and suggestions.?
You can read the documentation that Greg?KD1XI?kindly wrote -
It's a little outdated, but the general principles are still the same.

What is the latest version of the baseband firmware? I upgraded the software per the latest version Firmware_Upgrade_20230831 [fix CAT] and system info now shows:



Tnx

Hello Oleg,

This is an absolutely a nice surprise. I have wrote the firmware to th an SD and successfully booted the radio. It is obviously to me a new radio, so I will need to read your documentation and learn how it works. It seems I am traversing memories, I have pressed the general menu key, I have pressed a button and heard RF Gain. I also heard a button announce RF Power, this seemed to speak it twice. But I really have no idea what I am doing, so just randomly pressing buttons. From what I can hear it is very promising. I really want to thank you for this. I will see what I can read and actually use the radio properly. Cycling though LSB and CW variations was really nice too. For a very small unit the latency is very limited. It is more snappy than I expected.

On behalf of the blind community I just wanted to say thank you, so much.

Hi? Oleg - R1CBU ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??

Just an idea... Have you ever thought to implement SSTV receiving feature to the firmware? It would be fantastic to have such a feature.... and to go even beyond... in case you attach a webcam, you could take a picture and send it as SSTV image .. :)

Thanks for great job you do!

May I ask just the opposite about the CW speed setting. I would suggest a possibility to set the CW receive speed to stay on a fixed setting besides the automatic feature as it is now. This way I can monitor beacons and slow NDB cw speeds as it does not decode as the X6100 is continuous searching between the dots and dashes at slow speeds like 9 WPM for example.

I don't support the idea of making the decoder worse than it is (LOL). It's not just a matter of adjusting the speed, it also adapts to the ratio of dots and dashes (if you are working with a vertical key). I tested only at maximum speed (works up to 50 wpm), there should be no problems with minimum speed, there are no restrictions for this.

Is the Bluetooth function fully working or is a Xiegu Firmware problem

It depends what you mean. Overall BlueTooth works. I connected a wireless keyboard and there are no problems with it. Sound is a little more difficult. Some things work, some don't. I need to deal with this. The main task is to make a GUI for pairing BT devices.

Oleg thanks for a job well done. Love the new features.

Yes,?the decoder automatically adjusts to the speed.

Are there any settings I can try?

Try adjusting the filter width and tuning into the station more accurately. So that you can hear well. It will work poorly if several stations fall into the filter band - it will select the maximum level and this may throw it off.

Hi Oleg,

I cannot get the CW decoder to work correctly.

Have been listening to multiple CW stations but none of them decode anything useful.

I had the buzzing continuous transmit lockup occur last night testing the new R1CBU firmware.? Booted into the stock firmware and did firmware upgrade.? Fixed the issue right away.

Roberto it sounds like a short in your CW key. ?You mentioned that the second time it happened when you r plugged the key.?

Thanks for all your work on this and your willingness to respond to all questions.
A band editor would be great.

As I already wrote, the bands editor will solve this problem.

If you watched my video, I have these options turned off. And I checked now - everything works as intended. Perhaps you are talking about returning parameters after updating the firmware? Then yes, they are reset to default values. In the future it will be possible to save settings and restore them.

Also, I went to save some 60m frequencies but the band selector jumped from 40m to 80m.? Was 60m taken out

If I had $1 every time I answered this question, I would already be a millionaire! (((((((((:
Band descriptions are in the settings file. A band editor is planned and everyone will be able to customize them as needed.

Another thing, is it possible to disable the automatic mode changes when spinning the VFO??? CW in the US is generally from 7000-7120, but the firmware switches to SSB at 7040 and is kind of a PITA since you have to switch back every time you roll up past 7040.

Thanks!

I found when lockups happen hold the power button for 10-12 seconds. The radio is very sensitive to static.

I bought the screen cover and U still have a problem seeing some of the colors in the daylight.? Red especially gives me trouble.? I wish both the stock x6100 software and R1CBU allows you to change both the background color an the color of the text.? In some situations just white over black or black over white would prove to be an advantage in the field.

Thanks for the new version. I tried the basic functions and all work well. So far no problems. I will try the new functions later. Thank you again for your efforts. Please take care in these strange times.

Hi Ron,

thanks for your reply on my bat. topic.

meanwhile I have done more tests concerning charging bat. and
receiving and transmitting.

>I have found I should charge the internal battery until the panel LED stops blinking
>and then charge for an additional 2 hours to get a full complete charge of the internal battery. ?
I>t then will read 8.1V on my X6100.

I can conform your observation.
Prior I was thinking that charging is only active while the LED is flashing in green state.
That seems not only be the case as you mentioned too.

>We have found the X6100 voltmeter is not so accurate.

While charging my TRX with an external PSU and measuring the voltage and current
I observe too a difference of -0.2V between my external PS and the internal value
displayed by the X6100.

The difference could be caused by the two FET switch that handle the internal and
external power supply while operation and/or charging.

I can confirm that the TRX getting quite hot while be charged and under operation.
I will do some IR pics later when I repeat my tests.

Now the X6100 is again in charging mode and I will let him connected for some hours
after the led stops flashing.

Thanks again for the provided information.
