Hi Oleg,
thanks for your reply.?

This morning I rolled back to V0.18 and found the same problem, at least on my radio. (decodes hang and mostly impossible to decode reliable)

So, I tried rolling back to V 0.171 and the CW decoder came back 100% perfect !!!?

For me V0.19 the decoder is not good in any but the best conditions - V 0.18 the same. V0.171 is amazingly good and every single QSO I tuned to (even bad signal) the decodes we quick, accurate and the text buffering was gone.?

The problem I see on 0.18,0.19 is that the decoder sometimes goes blank and never decodes, or it is so tight on the filtering notch that it is almost impossible to get the signal on frequency so that decoding starts.?
As soon as I loaded V0.171 my old amazing 6100 was back and tuning around almost any CW signal led to great performance.

?did try many many times with the the laster versions.?

?Does your FW rely n the original base FW at all? I ask because I recently updated the the latest stock FW also..

?there is anything you want me to try, ?am happy to oblige. Thanks, Scot

Partially, all signal processing occurs in the BB processor - I cannot change this part yet. But I have installed BASE: V1.1.7 for a long time and everything works well.

I have the same experience as @scot forshaw, previous versions of the CW decoder worked amazingly well (especially compared with the Xiegu stock decoder).
Latest updates indeed do not function well, as Scott and I reported.

Thanks for all your good work,
Merry Xmas and a blessed New Year.

You would make my life a lot easier if you provided real comparisons of versions. For example, using a second (reference) transceiver loaded onto the equivalent of an antenna from which telegraph transmission would take place. But apparently I'll have to do it myself. And for some reason I’m sure you won’t like the result.

I just installed ver. 19.? Up and working just fine! I'm working through the buttons and dials. Everything looks good and works well. TNX, Oleg!

I will setup a reference TX Oleg to test the decoding levels and let you know the results.

Out of interest, I have base FW of 1.1.6 Mar 7th and APP v1.1.7 on the radio...?

The reason I kept the 1.1.6 base band firmware was that the stock base firmware (1.1.7) had issues with CAT and I found this stock combination worked well.?

So, running R1CBU 0.1.71 and base v1.1.6 CW is nothing short of amazing. ?As soon as I update to R1CBU 0.1.8 or 0.1.9 CW pretty much becomes unusable.

I'll let you know how the tests go on a reference TX Oleg

I recommend updating the basic one to 1.1.7. Some inaccuracies when working with the battery have been corrected there. In version 1.1.6, the battery capacity is calculated simply based on the current voltage (which is not correct). Version 1.1.7 already calculates real consumption based on current. Although version 1.1.7 still has errors (full charge and full discharge are not calculated correctly)

My friend is also a programmer, but not a radio amateur; he recently bought an X6100 specifically to help him figure out the BB firmware of the STM32 processor. Perhaps things will move forward!

Out of interest, does Base band V1.1.7 CAT work when used with R1CBU ? It does not work using the stock UI app...?

Just a quick one re the R1CBU 0.1.71? version, I wonder if anyone still has a copy that they would be kind enough to upload please,?I have tried to find a working download location for it for quite a while this morning and it seems now to be no longer available from Oleg's page or anyplace else for that matter!

Perhaps if Oleg could make the link available again from his site?

I too tried the 0.1.9 version a while back when the link was posted, and aside from the font and colour scheme which I couldn't get used to as it kind of hurt my eyes, the CW decoding I found to be very poor, i'd like to try the 0.1.71 version to see how that fares.

Hi Scott,
Sorry I tried that page already, I get this!



Tony.

I have the firmware,
I have attached it to this post hopefully it's allowed.?

?not email me at my orz email and I can send it you

Here it is?

The CAT interface is implemented in a GUI application. The BB version doesn't matter to it.

Scott, that didn't work, nor will email I doubt as the file looks to be above 100mB, so way to large for most email attachments.
You would have to upload it someplace, like Mega / Dropbox or WeTransfer or such like i'll stick with the official Xiegu version for now.

It worked for me this morning from this link here:?

I hope this works for you.

It MIGHT take a bit for it all to get thru the internet

Wayback machine for the win:?

Thanks to the wayback machine, I completely forgot to try that!
I now have the 0.17.1 version, so i'll have a go with it later this week.
Thank you to all that replied and helped me get the elusive version!

Tony.
