For now just run App at 1.1.9 and base at 1.1.6.

And you can also keep a few BASEs FW available so that you can switch for testing/usage. Switching requires 30 seconds, maybe less.

At this point in time, Xiegu clearly focused on solving the NO TX problem for some hardware, that they created with the previous FW. This seems to be fixed.
Lets all work to report what's broken on this latest version. That is the best way to move forward.

In my honest opinion V1.9 is broken... Worse still it is broken in a way that has broken a lot of useable features but it looks like it's working OK when it is not.?

This is a terrible update :(?

I can confirm this report .
After some hours let running only FT8 receiving ... the scope
is getting slower and slower til it is complete frozen after some hours .
?
And Georgy , I have measured with calibrated generator :
The S-meter is not correct : really ¨C73 dBm( S-9) is showing only S-7 and sometimes
if switching ATT to ON the S-meter shows more and switching Preamp.ON ...
shows lower values ...

Well, I don't run application so long. It might be few places, I'll check. Thanks for your feedback.

Antenna is properly tuned for bands I work on. My base IC-7410M works perfectly fine with it. Also the antenna is EFHW, and like I said, before I tried swr sweeping with calibration load it all was good.

Hi.
Try the following (notice the "A4" in the commands.), and let us know if it works.

Re: Xiegu X6100 Firmware Update v1.1.9 (2024-09-15)

 

Joao, thanks. I had just figured it out and got it working myself when I got your message. My problem was the USB connection now brings up 2 com ports instead of one. Besides the new A4 address, I had to use the second one. Works fine now, problem solved.

Jens (HB9JOI) and Scot (M0RWV), amazing stuff listing everything that isn't working. If you haven't, I suggest you guys also report this to Xiegu via Radioditty.

and a quick video refering the above mentioned link

Ideally reports should be done one (one single report) for each problem/bug found.
I've used this link before and some of the reported items were corrected.

Jim, please try this thread, where I posted a print of a N3FJP working config.
?
?
Try ICOM2, use A4 on both commands and change your Power Option to None.
?
Rig Name = Icom2
Read Frequency Command = FE FE A4 E0 03 FD
Read Mode Command = FE FE A4 E0 04 FD
Baud Rate = 19200
Parity = None
Stop Bits = 1
Data Bits = 8
Power Option = None
?
Let me know if you need further help as I have tested N3FJP with 1.1.8 and it worked fine. I can test it with 1.1.9 if necessary.

Re: MIC buttons non-functional

 

The Icom Mic has exactly the same outside case but totally different electronics inside.

Did that, still doesn¡¯t work.

Janis, change the 70 on both sides to A4

Re: MIC buttons non-functional

 

Did you swap the cords as well? Not sure if all the functions on an icom mic work on this radio.

The mic it came with (i bought second hand) did not function properly, only the PTT and lights worked. I swapped it out for an other Icom Mic, it also functions in this same way.

Re: Power meter not working

 

If the radio sees very high swr, it will protect it's self by not transmitting. You need to tune your antenna to be able to transmit.
