'got that right Bob !?

Okay, Oleg. Please take the time to get it correct. We can wait.

Now it’s difficult to say when it will be ready. Hardware development is progressing very quickly, and the firmware is 90% ready. Let's see how things go further

I put the finishing touches (trimming/tuning) on a 20m/40m linked dipole today and made some contacts while I was outside. ?I chatted with a ham from France for a bit and chased a few POTA activators and one SOTA activator. ?Things were going well and then I couldn't seem to make any more contacts.

Turns out I wasn't keeping track of my on-board battery voltage and it had dropped down to the point where it won't transmit; I was wasting my breath. ?:-) ? I learned I need to keep an eye on the battery condition. ?Actually, it probably won't be an issue as I usually power up with a 12V 9Ah Bioenno LiFePO (and sometimes have a 38W folding solar panel wired in as well).

Keep an eye on your voltage... those words you're speaking into the mic might not be going anywhere!

.Michael.?
ty for info. I've yet to do a pota with it but soon.
bottom line I guess is bring that battery along.

I did, but I'm blind and they show those soft keys in a lot of inaccessible images I think. A lot of blind people are using it, but they don't have any type of accessible documentation.

newbie here w the 6100. i operate 99.9% cw? pota, and even the R1CBU cw message memory seems clunky. ( tho havent tried it, just reading posts about it) ; best solution i think is to use a pico keyer ( or similar) , plug it into key jack and set the 6100 to straight key mode.

what am i missing?

The R1CBU CW message memories work fine.

I do however agree with N1RBD that the minimum Beacon Interval (i.e. memory repeat delay) being 10s is a bit too much for my liking.
I usually find that when I am calling CQ POTA I like about a 6 or 7 second pause.? I would be nice to see a little more granularity between 5 and 10 seconds for this setting.?

Cheers

Michael VE3WMB?

P.S. There is nothing to prevent you from using both an external keyer and the internal CW memories in the R1CBU firmware. The memories still work in straight-key mode.
For POTA, I sometimes use a Palm Paddle with the companion Code Cube keyer, which has one easily accessible memory button. I use that for a short 1X1 CQ POTA call? and if I am not getting a response after a few calls
I will use the R1CBU CW memory to call in a loop until someone calls me back..?

Randy :

?I usually get a bit less that a couple of hours of operating time when doing a CW POTA activation at 5 watts on the internal battery. Three hours of casual CW operating on the internal battery is probably about right.
The X6100 is a bit power hungry, certainly more so than my IC-705.?

Michael VE3WMB?

I'd like to add my thanks to you Oleg for all of your hard work in turning the x6100 from a good machine into a great machine!? I like your firmware a lot more than the stock, and it works great for me.? No complaints and MANY THANKS!!!

Please keep us updated on your new radio!

so far, so good . tho disappointed with internal battery life while doin some casual operating at 3w, listening and figuring out which buttons do what? :)

Yes

QRP, DDC/DUC. ADC 16 bit, DAC 14 bit. LCD 5", case size 190x120x40mm.
The work is in full swing. The electronics engineer completes the circuit and layout of the main board. There is a design for the case. I'm writing firmware on a development board.

Yo también. Me too!

Sorry to hear, but THANK YOU VERY MUCH OLEG, for all the effort you have put inte the firmware this far.

If Morse decoding is essential, you should maybe consider paying for a commercial Morse decoder.
There is also a very good Android app Morse Expert, and it's free.
I assume Oleg is developing his X6100 fw on his spare time.

YouTube also has a couple of good video showing how to go through the key options.

back to earth - when will your CW decoder will work again?

It works. But I’ll do it even better especially for you in the next version. The next version will be the last. I've started working on my own DDC/DUC transceiver and don't want to waste any more time on the X6100.

Did you already check the "Radioddity extended manual for the Xiegu X6100"? I am not referring to the normal Xiegu manual, but to the 130 pages extended manual produced by Radioddity.

If you click on "GEN", you activate the softkeys that are related to the GENeral menu, such as "Radio Setting1", "Radio Setting2", "Display Setting", "System Setting" and "Memory Edit". You "navigate" by pressing one of those 5 softkeys.

If you click one of the other 5 function-keys "APP", "KEY", "MSG", DFN" or "DFL".you will be faced with different softkey definitions.
