Hello fellow 6100 owners: Received the x6100 last week and on the air today, internal battery, 5 watts, on 10 meters, SteppIR Vertical and first contact was into Portugal in the CQ WW Contest. To

Well, there's really no reason why a voltage that's well with the nominal range of 13.8V, pre internal regulator reduction in rig would be problematic at long as it's stable generall, so 11V isn't a

Maybe I'm not, but that's how I am, if you've an issue with it, disregard my posts - it's that simple. federico.giampietro@...> wrote:

I agree on the 11 volts. I run my unit at 11.1 without any problems and it seems to run cooler. Enjoy Life, Greg KD1XI Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much

Dropping the 6100's supply voltage down to 11V doesn't introduce any problems, I haven't done spectrum analysis for lower voltages.

You're not very good at summarizing Christopher. So... ?

Well, anything that increases the contrast, be it alt text & background colours or software general contrast settings etc, always helps at some level. Those of us creaky enough to remember when CRT

I changed the colors from red to white and put them on a black background.? That made it much easier to see.? I sometimes use a 6' x 6' first up (in case of rain) when I do portable.? See pic for

The problem with screen protectors, Brian, is they are polarised - so no problems with high contrast displays when you view them without any polarised or darken photochromatic lenses. If you know

Is the issue glare (light reflecting off the screen) or the screen is just not bright enough in bright ambient lighting conditions? If it's the latter, Christopher's suggestion of a hood sounds good

Actually it's only fairly recent laptops which automatically or by user settings, constrain charging of the battery to nn% of full to 'preserve the battery life'. Many out there don't. In fact it's

Hi Lukas, Laptops usually use protection that maintains a charge of 80% because having large-capacity batteries, the possible need to bring them to full charge starting from a lower level would lead

Hi Federico Why 60% and not 30%?

Well, short of altering the screen/image/text colours or increasing the backlight and or contrast levels (I mean higher than SW adjust currently permits, ie a brighter actual backlight and altering

I tried operating POTA and rig my x6100 today and between the sun and my eyeglasses that automatically darken I could hardly see the screen. ?The red letters in the menus in particular. Anyone have

Awesome. I am going to try it! Always have a laptop when portable. Tim N8DUY

My point was, irrespective of how low a voltage a radio of any kind can be powered by, there are consequences you have to accept and compensate for, and just because a radio can accept a voltage and

Christopher, I do not see any problems with reducing the power supply voltage to 9,6V, since the radio was designed for a battery power supply range of 6,6V to 8,4V and the external supply range is

While talking about, then, reduced voltage operation, there's a matter of caution to note :- Whilst you can, by virtual of the fact that given sufficient current to compensate for reduced voltage

mine: @12,0 V; 11,5 V; 11,0 V: 10m: 5,5 watts? (7 watts only on 13,8V) @ Battery full charge: 10m: 2,4 watts key down? (1,8 watts ssb)
