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

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 "

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

Re: Local Oscillator Leakage
Right, This will my last Xiegu as well, I¡¯m afraid. I¡¯m a CW user therefore it is not a big deal but the AM/FM modes are pretty useless. 73 Edwin pa3bbr

Re: New radio, heat mitigation
Hi, You should absolutely. My radio is about 30C when receiving and charging is on. When using CW it is becoming somewhat warmer but not that much. I don¡¯t use digital modes. In summer it becomes

Re: Local Oscillator Leakage
I agree, the TX500 will be better than the X6100, I bought it too. But the TX500 has a rather weak processor and is already packed to capacity. Further development of this transceiver is almost

Re: The Other X6100 Group
FWIW, the other group has had 15 postings in December as compared to 325 on this group. I am a member of both X6100 groups but I remember it was a pain to get an approval for the other one as I had

Re: X6100 dc plug idea
Strain relief? The exterior battery is within feet of the radio, not like it is being pulled around. This was done to take the stress of the plug connection on the circuit board away so that the
