The easiest way to copy a file over to the X6100 IMHO is to use Filezilla. Pretty sure there's a version for almost any OS. So, on your PC, fire up Filezilla ( ) click in the left pane and move to the directory on your PC that has your xgf file. Now start the X6100 in normal mode (no R1CBU or other gui inserted in the SD slot). I'll assume you have wifi running on the X6100 - that's a whole other task. Look at your router connection listing (or use nmap, etc.) and find the the xiegu ip listed. Now, in the quickconnect at the top of the Filezilla app enter the ip of the X6100, then "root" for user, "123" for password, and set port to 22. The right hand pane will now show the X6100 "root".? Double click on the icon just above the "root" listing in the upper right hand window to switch into the full root directory in the lower right hand window - you'll see bin through var listed. Double click on usr, then firmware. Now go over to the left hand pane, single click on xgf file and drag it over to the right hand pane. You're done. Now on your X6100 go to settings firmware upgrade, select the xgf base file to upgrade to and press the upgrade button. After upgrading, and rebooting go to settings/system info and make sure you have the desired base.??

For BASE firmware updating you need to copy firmware file (xgf) to the X6100 file system. There are few way to do it. One of them is described here

Make sure that X6100 is booted with OEM firmware (without inserted SD card) and connected to WiFi before copying base firmware file.

After copying new files should appear in the system -> firmware upgrade menu. Last step - select desired firmware and press upgrade.

?

Perhaps, I'll inspect BASE flashing process and will be able to implement it within R1CBU in the future.

Ok, much has been learned at my end... I tried the K9DP filter, and things were much improved. Suddenly the PRE and ATT worked as expected. PRE now made things generally louder, and ATT now correctly suppressed the signal as expected. So... clearly something in my area here has changed, but I'm not sure what that is — a local AM transmitter has increased power perhaps?

?

I would like to move from BASE 1.1.7 back down to 1.1.6. Are there easy instructions available for doing so (with apologies because I'm sure this has been asked repeatedly)?

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times, but... Are there step-by-step instructions for installing the BASE firmware anywhere? I need to move mine down to 1.1.6 for improved receive.

Hi.

This release contains not so much changes on the UI part. Most of the changes is related with a patched BASE firmware.

I added some controls and adaptive notch filter, comparing rev 2.

?

UI might be downloaded from
BASE - from

?

Using BASE witch OEM GUI? is possible, just no compressor controls and output gain control.

Using Alternative UI with OEM BASE firmware also possible - corresponding controls will not be visible in the settings.

My first thought: not a software issue but an internally disconnected BNC. If you TX? in a dummy load (in NFM or CW): is there a normal power output and normal SWR?

YS1RS?

There may be a short circuit to ground at the receiver input before the bandpass filter. When ATT is enabled, there is a resistance across the short circuit to ground, so to speak, and reception is possible via parasitic capacitances to the bandpass filter input. The ATT circuit is located between the R/T relay and the bandpass filter.

Thanks for your help. After installing a 1k ohm resistor and replacing the missing components, everything is working fine.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for all the great work!!

I'm in the middle of a fairly large city, and the BCI filter is essential. Of course you can say goodbye to 160 meters. For me though, the reception problem was a combo of BCI and the BASE app. With BCI and BASE of 1.6 (Georgy's modified BASE is great) things are probably as good as they're going to get.

I guess, it might be due to overloading radio input with a strong AM stations.
You can try to use a BCI filter. For example - this /g/xiegu-x6100/topic/k9dp_qrp_bci_filter/102162571

I'm working on the GUI part. Hope will publish both (GUI and patched BASE) in a few days.

Yes, Rainer — ATT (!) has to be ON (!)

?

If PRE preamplifier is on, then I don’t hear any signals (!!!!!!)

Hello, thanks for your thoughts. It was just the solder joints that came loose — the socket is intact. What had me worried was that resistor. Now I’ll try it with a 1k ohm and see how it goes.

… apologies, I forgot to post the link :/
