Re: Xiegu X6100 Firmware Update v1.1.9 (2024-09-15)
... and what is with this issue in v1.1.9 :
?
... has til now nobody
noticed that in App.1.1.8 in the audio scope the courser in CW is not on the
PITCH frequency,
but much too high,
completely off the mark...!!??
The audio scope is
absolutely no longer usable.

Installed with no problems. Just started testing.
The new colors are finally here, much better to read on field. They ditched
red and are now using white. Finally.
Great to see Xiegu listening to users and supporting the X6100.

With the release of 1.19 with base of 1.18, I'm assuming we should not apply these patches yet?

Also - be sure your SSID does not contain spaces.? It will fail.

Hi,
v1.1.9 resolved the inoperative TX RF output issue occurring with my x6100 and initial test results are very good.?

Re: IMPORTANT! WITH LAST FIRMWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM - THEY SAY STAY AWAY
Go a few questions in private email, to clarify a little;
This update is received directly from Xiegu tech department. The previous version 1.1.8 was not fully compatible with some of the hardware versions, this has been corrected in this new version 1.1.9.
If you previously updated your X6100 to firmware version 1.1.8 and don’t have problem with transmit (no TX at all), then this new update only adds the changed color scheme.
If you have an earlier firmware version and did not upgrade to 1.1.8 this update gives the updated color scheme plus the improvements and new features of version 1.1.8.
The update is available from Xiegu.eu, authorised EU distributor of Xiegu products.?

Thanks Georgy,?
sounded cut off like an older telephone capsule microphone ;)
now like it has to be!
Xiegu always makes there radios worser than they are due to dilligence.
Not only in the software, but also in some hardware design flaws.

Looks like I missed something in the base image. Will check and publish a fix.
I created a version with fix: 0.24.1 All dependencies was on their places, but order of building was wrong.

After success connection to WiFi you will see: * DISCONNECT label for button * connected text on your wifi item. Also, you can try to turn on DHCP (like on picture). Then use name xiegu-X6100 instead of IP address to connect to the radio.

... also if I`m with both (Computer & X6100 ) directly located at the
router ...
and in the same network I get no access to the X6100 . All entries are
correct in WinSCP (or FilZilla too),
but the X6100 will not found .
Made all like to see in the video .

Any ideas ...??

I get absolutly no connect , can do what I want . I'm
using USB type Ethernet adaptor to connect radio, seems I never connect it to my
WiFi - so I have no advice. Only one thing - wifi antenna on the transceiver is
very small - it might be helpful to move it closer to your router.

Yes, I used to decompile, than find similar place in 1.1.7 and patch it. Don't forget to decrypt before comparing.

Easy to install Gregory and worked perfectly. Nice low response and I think it improves the built?in microphone response but maybe it's my imagination (but I dont?think so,?the internal mic seems more sensitve to lower frequency sound now). Thank you!?
I used WiFi ssh basic scp copy command?from a Mac?
scp [email protected]:/usr/firmware/X6100_BBFW_V1.1.7_240904001.xgf X6100_BBFW_V1.1.7_240904001.xgf. ?(save my old FW to Mac)
scp X6100_BBFW_V1.1.7_240904001_160.xgf [email protected]:/usr/firmware/X6100_BBFW_V1.1.7_240904001_160.xgf. ? (copy your up)
Ran upgrade and bingo

Awesome! Sorry for quick reply I’m on mobile but this is awesome!
I’m guessing you found the hex address for the passband filter limits? If so I can hex compare your version to the original and perhaps experiment!
How very Motorola 68000 of us haha! I miss a good hack and a “nop” command :-)
Best Scot!

This firmware is independent from the R1CBU. Using R1CBU will not change BASE firmware. Also - this patch might be used with original and R1CBU. It's just for another part of the radio.

I think what you have discovered (300-3000Hz Bandpass) is the cause of problems with nearby strong CW signals desensitizing reception of weaker signal in the narrow filter. Either AGC is applied to this wider bandwidth before the narrow filtering or the strong signal overloads the radio. It is too bad that the 300-3000 filter isn't made narrower corresponding to the mode: CW, RTTY, PSK31.
This filter (300-3000) applies only during TX. Looks like BASE applies some filters to input IQ signal before demodulation, but I'm not investigate this huge part of firmware yet.
