New User, some issues, should I try R1CBU X6100 Software

 

Hi,
I just got my X6100 used. Updated to the latest X6100 Firmware. I had issues with WLAN connection. Fixed that by removing space from the WIFI password. LOL. NTP server access is not working for some reason. Radio works so far made a few contacts.
?
Regarding R1CBU X6100 Software, does it have similar capabilities but different, or does it sit ontop of the factory firmware? I am asking because the UI looks slick and if it may fix some of my other issues NTP I might try it. Also, allowing for FT8 on the radio is nice for portable ops.?

Hi Andy!?

You need to keep in mind that x6100 consists from two logic parts: BASE and UI. Base is actually a RADIO and UI board is responsible for controlling BASE. Oleg’s/Georgy’s firmware is (temporarily) loaded to RAM as alternative to UI stock firmware, and communicates with unchanged BASE board. Alternative firmware is not affecting BASE ANYHOW.

P.S. I’m not a big fan of how alternative firmware looks like (to me is a bit too ?startrek like”), but when it comes to its functionality, performance, usability is like a huge jump into a future! To me, it’s like a different radio. And that compensate me TOTALLY the way how it looks :) (but still, I’m a big fan of Gene’s Roddenberry universum!)

You might like my color modded version of the firmware then.
