Xiegu X6100 is an ultra-portable SDR transceiver (Software Defined Radio) for HF and 6m. High performance and rich functionality is provided by a direct down-conversion and sampling architecture. With its compact size and smart form factor X6100 brings you a brand-new experience of amateur radio. X6100 has independent baseband and RF units. The baseband unit provides control, advanced data processing, digital signal processing, multimedia interface functions, and can add new functions continuously through firmware updates. The RF unit is based on the SDR structure with separate transmit and receive paths. With a 24bit sampling rate and large dynamic RF front-end unit, the X6100 is a high performance transceiver that lets you work the world when you’re out on an adventure in nature, in the camper or on a beach far away. X6100 sports two USB interfaces, one USB to serial adapter with sound card and another to support mouse, keyboard and storage devices. A microSD card slot allows for backup and transfer of memory channels and voice keyer recordings. An XPA125B amplifier can connect via with a dedicated cable (optional accessory) to provide for 100W transmit power. External third-party SDR software applications like HDSDR can be connected via the I/Q signal output.

(Benjamin ON5BGO) Sat, 05 Apr 2025 00:23:47 -0700 /g/xiegu-x6100/message/6975 <div>Hi, <br/>it happens to me that the X6100 gives a very short &#34;hit&#34; of transmission and then does not emit anything. <br/>I specify, I give a call in CW (I use mostly CW but in SSB it is the same thing). <br/>I see that it gives a peak of power and then the power goes to zero. I put another radio in listening and I see that some power comes out but it must be very little (I do not have a power meter that reads such low powers) but tone and modulation work. The reception works well as always.<br/>I tried to do factory resets, install recent and older versions, I tried with R1CBU. I tried with internal battery, external, 13.6V of the Yaesu power supply but I did not find anyone who wants to see what it has. I also tried with ATU ON and OFF. I scanned with APP SWR and the scan works (the YAESU hears the BEEPS) but the scale is flat at 1:1. It is true that X6100 does not have huge costs but not having a repairman is embarrassing and unpleasant.<br/>Does anyone have suggestions that I have not tried?<br/>Thanks for any support or ideas.<br/>Mauro HB9FBG</div> hb9fbg@...
