Is WFView misidentifying my X6100?


 

I'm trying to use WFView with my new X6100, APP 1.1.7 BASE 1.1.6, via WiFi, for remote access.

I can connect but WFView claims it's talking to a (IC?)705! Some controls and functions work but most don't. No errors reported...

Are there improvements I can make? :-(

Have a look into this guide, maybe it help.

I have had mine since 2022 august and it works fine, but with the known quirks.
I had a similar experience like the one you're describing a couple of days ago, when trying to connect the FT8CN (Android) app to my X6100 (App/Base 1.1.6) over WiFi.
X6100 reported that in it was connected to the access point on my Android phone, but the access point on the Android phone did not report any connected device.
Tried several times to configure the WiFi settings on the X6100, without any success.
If I don't misremember, I have tried connecting to the X6100 earlier, but gave up trying as the WiFi implementation appeared to me as less then solid...
But if you're in to digital, I can recommend the very nice and well featured Android app FT8CN connected to the X6100 over a USB cable.
Both FT8CN and WFView works fine with IC-705 by the way.
Stay safe!

I must be missing something and could use some advice.
I have had my Xiegu 6100 for over a year. When I am out with my radio and try to have a QSO, I have terrible feedback between my speaker and microphone. I use wired headphones, same issue making it impossible to establish a QSO.
I have increased the squelch but that does not make any difference.
I have been a ham for a long, long time but I am stumped!

Can anyone send some light on this issue that has plagued me?

Hello,

Well I only know from the using the spoken prompts but you should be able to see that the audio encoder menu system has mic gain for internal and external. They are fighting each other. Turn the one you don't want to use down and the one you want up. Take it off of auto too, specifying the one you want.

I am sure the spoken prompts speak those menu items you will see.
