Re: Problems charging internal battery / R1CBU/R2RFE firmware
Thanks to all for your suggestions! Everything very interesting!
My X6100 still has a valid warranty so I'll try Radioddity first before opening the seals...
We'll see and I'll let you know about

Re: Buildroot 2024.11 for R1CBU/R2RFE firmware
Hi Franco,
with this patch CW Decode and FT8 is working again.
For me, I like it when a newer buildroot is used, because the currently used one needs e.g. patches to work with actual Compilers, here

Re: Buildroot 2024.11 for R1CBU/R2RFE firmware
Markus,
I found out that sometime between the buildroot version used by Oleg/Georgy and the latest 2024.11 version, PulseAudio changed the names of their devices. For instance what used to be called

Re: X6100 alternative firmware v0.28.0
Fantastic job. Congratulations for the work.
It works great.
I have an idea for next versions: auto send FT8 receptions to pskreporter.info

I'm using my trusty MFJ 868B Big Meter. It always seems to be accurate with all my radios.

Re: Radio gets noise on RX when on Battery Alternative Firmware v0.28.0
Just looked at your youtube video. At 21.074 I get birdies at exactly the same place as your noises. However, Not as strong.
Both 0.28 and original Xiegu firmware have those birdies at the same signal

Re: X-6100 and Xiegu XPA125B
I've been checking it out. At 10 Watts and the amp off it transmits 10 W.? Looking at the waterfall, I could see the signal.
I switched on the amp and switched off the PA. The amp reported ~3

Re: Problems charging internal battery / R1CBU/R2RFE firmware
The name "Shadow charging" was invented by Oleg, after my suggestion of the feature.
Stock fw only had options Charger On or Charger Off.

Re: X-6100 and Xiegu XPA125B
I run 10w out of the X6100 with the amplifier on, and the pa set to off with no issues. I have not tried with the amplifier turned completely off. I am sure there would be losses going through the amp

Re: Buildroot 2024.11 for R1CBU/R2RFE firmware
Georgy, I understand 100% and, as you can see in the comments here, there are still bugs with FT8 and CW that I need to figure out.
This said, I think you may still want to look at the patch I wrote

Hi Gregory, this firmware is amazing!? Here is an idea for some of the developers.? What about some limited JS8 functionality.? I find JS8 helpful when doing POTA/SOTA and there is no cell signal

Re: Radio very noisy on Tx on battery
Just some observations:
* Output power with external power supply jumps to 7W, without - only to 5W (looks like limiting)
* ALC always 100 without external power supply.
* Waterfall without external

Re: Buildroot 2024.11 for R1CBU/R2RFE firmware
I guess, I'll use your version in one of the future build, but maybe not for the next one. I'm stuck in refactoring and falling deeper and deeper))

Re: Radio very noisy on Tx on battery
Sounds like RF getting back into the radio. Have you tried it with a dummy load or another antenna? You might need more choking in the cables. I see one on each cable but that may not be

My original x6100 led flashed while charging. Recently purchased a replacement after the old one developed a fault. The led stays on while charging with the new one but it does charge. Mine charges

It's very nice to see development still going strong..
I have been away from the hacking scene and radio in general for a while, it makes me happy to see the projects have taken off. Thanks for
