Re: X6100 PWR consumption wit external PSU
Consider LiFePO4 instead of Li-ion. The voltage is of LiFePO4 is lower, and that is beneficial for this rig.? LiFePO4 in 3S has just the right voltage for this rig (9,6 V nominal, instead of 11,1 V

Re: Battery will not charge
That is very odd, and begs the question: exactly what voids the warranty, when the tamper seals are broken?

Re: Battery will not charge
Well, it's a bit odd that Radioddity now sells a parts kit for the X6100 that unfortunately doesn't include the battery or charging circuit, and it does say this:

I saw the "Kunodi Outdoor Speaker" at a pool party and was impressed by it.? I bought one and it's perfect for use as an external speaker for the X6100 or other small transceivers.? It has a

Re: Battery will not charge
Though the X6100 comes with an “anti-tamper” sticker on its cabinet to
detect “unauthorized/warranty-voiding” behavior, I do believe that it is

Yes, that is my understanding. ?If you break the tape seals, you have invalidated your warranty. ?However, if you bought your X6100 from Radioddity, I would contact Radioddity about any issues you

Re: Battery will not charge
If you open the case to replace the batteries have you invalidated the warranty (Radioddity)?

Re: Battery will not charge
Hi Ron,
The X6100 has a couple of bad ideas in the design, not the least of which
is having a too small battery to do any real good. But my main gripe with
it is their use of two processors.
It's fun

Re: Battery will not charge
I am sure as most know anything from China will have problems for repairs and service.? Like the UV5R for which so many Hams have, it is a throw away rig when it dies.? I had one die and for fun

i'm not crazy about the CW message memory interface, but that's easily overcome with external pico keyer.

Re: Are There Any Improvements in Newer Production X6100s?
I do know that the G90 received an update a year or two after its introduction due a need to change one of the microprocessors used. This also caused a need for a minor change in the firmware from

Re: Battery will not charge
To some extent, it is. Because on my "feature request" Oleg introduced the "Shadow Charging" option and that must communicate with the battery charging as I understand it.

Re: Are There Any Improvements in Newer Production X6100s?
Their way of product improvement seems to be a new model
Such as the X6200 (due in the next 3-6 months as ham shops are taking deposits)
Main improvement is a detachable battery pack from the specs

Re: Are There Any Improvements in Newer Production X6100s?
IMHO, I think they made production line changes with part quality. I bought my x6100 Oct. of 2024. No problems with the battery or charging. I always remember to turn off charging when running

Re: Battery will not charge
Just so you know,,,,
Mine won't charge either. The battery charger circuit is broken. I suspect
it's the FET that the controller switches but I haven't taken the time to
troubleshoot it yet.
