Re: Power conversion for x6100
I have used a variety of buck and boost converters with rigs like the uBitx and X6100. ?They work though some create RFI and have to be shielded. An easier method, and the one I currently use, is

Re: X6100 dc plug idea
I use a semi-permanent 90-degree adapter for a bit of strain relief and to reduce the number of insertion/removal cycles, then have a variety of PowerPole cables with the plug strung around in various

Re: Portable vertical antenna suggestions
Yes. You are right about most of it. Especially C. I had built a mast holder that needed 3 tent stakes pounded into the ground. This worked for a few POTA activations. Then I got to ground that

Re: Requesting a summary of problems and solutions
I bought mine around the same time (Nov. 2023). ?I do not plan to buy any other HF transceiver, until this one no longer works. ?By then, maybe another company will offer an all-HF-band small unit,

Re: Requesting a summary of problems and solutions
Oleg, I agree with you 100%. My 6100 does everything I want it to do quite nicely. I truly think they made production upgrades as they were built. Mine was bought October of '23. I thank you for ALL

Re: Requesting a summary of problems and solutions
I wouldn't hope for it. I already had experience when support for the X5105 ended (without even starting) with the release of the new X6100. Now we are seeing how the company does not correct obvious

Re: Portable vertical antenna suggestions
Hi Dan, Your posts bring up a couple of factors that I see shaping portable operator's preference for antennas: A. Ease of setup/take-down/transport. K4SWL has taken this to an art form! But it is

Requesting a summary of problems and solutions
I don't know hardly anything about radios. You have talked about problems and Solutions on this list, and I have no idea what you are saying. So I'm not sure if it's in your files, or if someone could

Power conversion for x6100
Hey y'all, I've heard some talk here about the x6100 overheating during digital mode use, so I bought a fan to mitigate that some time ago. It works well. It keeps the x6100 cool. What I am wondering

Re: X6100 dc plug idea
For strain relief, Ex-Lax. As for the pigtail and barrel connector wear-and-tear, great idea!

Re: Portable vertical antenna suggestions
Well, in my book, an inverted V is a (mostly) vertical antenna, and it has the benefit of not requiring any radials. 73! *Dan KB6NU* CW Geek, Ham Radio Instructor Author of the " No Nonsense " amateur

Re: Portable vertical antenna suggestions
Although simple to make, I bought the $35 EFHW from my friend, Jason, KM4ACK. It is very portable. I already had a push up mast that I use, it takes literally 10 minutes to setup, and works very well

Re: Portable vertical antenna suggestions
I just made a 20M EFHW using a discarded VGA cable. It worked fantastic! https://youtu.be/KWwCHbLe7wE?si=o4IzPHNz4Ky0_MGP -- 73 de K9NUD https://youtube.com/@learnhamradio
Re: New radio, heat mitigation
Indeed there is an overvoltage issue with 12 V car power, as the excess voltage is converted to heat by the linear regulators inside the X6100. A car battery is about 12V, when charging this can be 14

Re: X6100 dc plug idea
One of the first things I did with my X6100 power cable was install PowerPoles on the end.? Later due to me getting stand with fan I made a 2-PP to single PP connector so could run radio and stand

Re: New radio, heat mitigation
I followed your idea and found a similar unit on eBay. ?With luck, link and photo below. ?My X6100 gets warm. ?I only use internal battery and SSB. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184929324773

Re: New radio, heat mitigation
Switching the charger off is recommended to prevent damage to the battery if the unit is run from DC power, Also if you have the ability to reduce the input voltage from 13.8v to 11v-11.5 volt you
