Re: Xiegu x6100 in combination with XPA125B issue
Hi what is it like with a dummy load connected, As it sounds like fr is getting in, Dave
?I recently (a month ago) purchased a x6100 and an XPA125b amplifier and I m having this issue..a link of a video to help you explain myself
?
?
watch the power meter on the xiegu when I press the PTT button and holding the mic ...it modulates without saying anything...this only happens when the amplifier on the xiegu x125b is on....also when I select the built-in mic this problem doesn't occur even with the PA set to on ..only with the hand mic ..gain is set to 15 ..tried factory reset, swapping the mic cable the other way around ,trying a different cable nothing.. problem still occurs.
Update : i put a pair of headphones on and increased the monitor level to listen to the signal...all i hear is noise with some low level distorted audio in the background...and this issue also occurs when i select the built in mic and press the PTT.
In the beginning i thought it was a faulty hand mic but now that i se that the problem exists even built built in mic , i am starting to believe it is an amplifier issue...

Re: The Other X6100 Group
Jim,
Yes, I had the same problem with my joining the other group being rejected because I didn't have the Email I used be the "QRZ email" that includes my call sign. I don't have a QRZ Email, as I use Google as my Email for all the ham radio groups I belong to. But, it seems that you may have to create a QRZ Account with a valid Ham Radio license before the Group Moderator will let you into the other group. I don't know how any SWL Listeners who use the Xiegu X6100 for listening can get access to that Group.
In any case, after trying several times to join that Group, and them deleting my attempts after a couple weeks each time, I decided if that's the way the Moderator wants to run the Group, that's probably not a group I would want to join anyway. So I'm only using this Group for my Xiegu X6100 posting.
Also, the last time I checked, this Group had many more messages on it, and it seems to have the messages I want to read.

I had a Kenwood TS-50S and it used "fuzzy logic" to implement a similar feature.?
The faster you turned the encoder the larger the step. As you slowed down your tuning rate the step got smaller.
IMHO this is a very intuitive approach to tuning. It gets my vote !

Re: The Other X6100 Group
|
Good afternoon everyone. When the X6100 group was formed I had one of the first X6100 radios and joined the group. I was also appointed as one of the admins at the time and was not asked if I wanted to do it. I did my best to keep up with the new moderated posts when the other moderator left the group. I was able to find a replacement who handled the admin duties for several months, and I did not leave the group, however I left all admin duties to the person who said they would take over. I recently saw moderated posts asking why their other posts aren't being approved and found out that person sold their x6100 and left the group. If I would have left a year ago we would have nobody moderating the group and doing the admin chores.
Once again, I would like someone to step up if possible and if I can get a hold of the Radioddity staff, I will submit your name to them. Please do not reply to this on the forum, please contact me via email privately. My email is good on QRZ.?

I was just wondering if anyone here was also on the other X6100 group on ?? ?I am trying to learn everything I can about this radio, so I tried to also join the other group.? However, I was rejected because it said my callsign and email address don't match my QRZ profile (they do).? ?Has anyone else run into this?

Xiegu x6100 in combination with XPA125B issue

I just wanted to make sure this Radio doesn't put out spurious emissions above appropriate levels. I am going to get mine tested if I can find a way to do so as I don't have the equipment for it.
?
For those of you who have the equipment, it would be cool if you could test your own radios and get back to us with the results.

I have the same experience as @scot forshaw, previous versions of the CW decoder worked amazingly well (especially compared with the Xiegu stock decoder).
Latest updates indeed do not function well, as Scott and I reported.
Thanks for all your good work,
Merry Xmas and a blessed New Year.

If knob velocity is greater than x step time 10 or 100?
Yes, that's understandable. I need to practically look at the rotation speed ranges and which multipliers are most convenient to use.

Oleg. Use base tuning step. If knob velocity is greater than x step time 10 or 100???? Nl7ln

Forgot to mention... It was called "Variable Speed Tuning" back then.
You had a button to turn it on and off, of course.
Cause as you approached to your target frequency, was better to turn it off to avoid overshoot your intended frequency.
The weighted tuning wheel was very sensitive though.
Nowadays, we do this via SDR, thus can be controlled way much better.

First time I saw that feature was back in the year 2000-2001, implemented in the Patcomm PC-500 QRP radios, by Patcomm Corp.
Those radios were ahead of its time indeed.
Sure helps.

Yes, I know about such a function. I don't really like it, it doesn't always work predictably. Instead, I have other plans - I want to make detection and automatic ¡°jumps¡± to the signals that are at the waterfall. This is mainly for blind users, but maybe someone else will find it convenient.

Hi Oleg,
I have a feature suggestion, I was wondering if it was possible to devise a fast slow dynamic tuning rate?
If you are on 10Hz and start to tune quickly it might step up to 100Hz then reduce back to 10Hz when the spinning slows down?
This is similar to the TECSUN PL-660 SW RX that has auto Slow/Fast tuning.?
For CW ops, it would be a massive help I think when you see a signal on the magnified spectrum but you are in 10HZ mode, it takes a long time to get top it without more button pressing.
I wonder if anyone else would like such a feature?
Thank you for you amazing work on this ?by the way, from one coder to another... it is very appreciated.

Partially, all signal processing occurs in the BB processor - I cannot change this part yet. But I have installed BASE: V1.1.7 for a long time and everything works well.

Hi Oleg,
thanks for your reply.?
This morning I rolled back to V0.18 and found the same problem, at least on my radio. (decodes hang and mostly impossible to decode reliable)
So, I tried rolling back to V 0.171 and the CW decoder came back 100% perfect !!!?
For me V0.19 the decoder is not good in any but the best conditions - V 0.18 the same. V0.171 is amazingly good and every single QSO I tuned to (even bad signal) the decodes we quick, accurate and the text buffering was gone.?
The problem I see on 0.18,0.19 is that the decoder sometimes goes blank and never decodes, or it is so tight on the filtering notch that it is almost impossible to get the signal on frequency so that decoding starts.?
As soon as I loaded V0.171 my old amazing 6100 was back and tuning around almost any CW signal led to great performance.
?did try many many times with the the laster versions.?
?Does your FW rely n the original base FW at all? I ask because I recently updated the the latest stock FW also..
?there is anything you want me to try, ?am happy to oblige. Thanks, Scot
