Hi.
First of all - thanks for all, who provided a feedback of previous versions.
I switched to Github actions for build an whole image. Actual release available on the on GitHub. It's a full image, not the update.
?
You can preserve your configurations and changes:
* Copy params.db from DATA partition of SD card to some place BEFORE flashing new image
* Flash image
* Boot transceiver with inserted SD card, then poweroff
* Open saved params.db with any sqlite3 software (e.g. ) and execute SQL
UPDATE memory SET val = 3 WHERE name like "vfoa_mode" and (id >= 100 OR id < 300)
* Insert SD card back to the computer and replace params.db on DATA partition with saved version

Hello!
Personally, I think that making GHA responsible for building an image is a very good move! I can’t wait to give a try to new version.

Hi Georgyi ...
?
.. just played one hour with FW image v0.24.0 .
Works all great , only SSB not tested because I most working CW and/or
FT8.
(Also thank you for implementing my ideas...)
Have just updated the link to v0.24.0 on my QRZ page .
Many thanks for Your impressed work ...
?
Xiegu should take that all as example for what all is possible with the
X6100 ,
but they destroy the X6100 with new original FW updates more and more ...
if I think about v.1.8.

Hi All ? I’ve just loaded the new Firmware – all looks good. ? Two questions: ? - Is there an instruction manual on how to drive this firmware.
- Is there a bug reporting form ?

Hmmm. I thought it was enabled by default. I turned it on.

... just burned a second new image (v0.24.0) :
Now FT8 output-power seems to be ok , nominal 4....5 watts .
BUT : immediately if the rx-preamp. will switched to ON ... (or is
ON)
then the FT8 output-power goes down to 1... watt ! (Like
described before.)

Hi Jens. I remember you wrote about this issue for previous version. I can't reproduce it on my radio. It might be due to hardware variations. I'm going to add output signal level configuration to the FT8 app in the next version. 73! Georgy // R2RFE

Few more updates - and you will feel free with C programing, I guess) Thanks a lot for your offer, but this is unnecessary.

Hi Georgyi,
first, congratulations for your amazing work, I love your user
interface!
I have booted the R1CBU-R0.23_sdcard.img version and worked with
FT8 mode to figure-out how usable it would be on a portable/SOTA
activity.
Looks fine, except for one thing:
whatever the TX power is set at, (I have tried less than 5W, more
than 5W, up to 10W), the output power on 20m band is always ca
2.5W
I do see the warning message about the reduced power to 5W... I
wish I had these 5W!
It seems Jens/HB9JOI experiences a similar issue (see below) and
would appreciate some advise on how to clear this limitation.
X6100:
Base V1.1.6 Nov 1 2022
Thanks for your help,

FT8 is a great addition but I am still unsure how to interact with the GUI to transmit etc.. ? Any guide would be appreciated …. ?

Looks like it's related with different hardware versions - at least on my radio all works fine. I'll try to do some kind of auto adjustment, based on the output power and ALC. Need some time for experiments.
