  1. New #X6100 on its way, to replace the one that was lost in transit.

    USPS was prompt in saying "we never got the package".

    ACI Logistix has a "help me" form but did not provide a prompt reply to my query.

    #radioddity dispatched a new shipment once I got confirmation from USPS that they didn't have the package, with the understanding that if the first order does eventually get delivered I'll send it back.

    Ham radio is a hobby with lots of side quests, did not expect logistics to be one.

  2. There is a mailing list for the #Xiegu #X6200 a new radio via #radioddity that builds on the previous generation #X6100

    So far early reports have uncovered lots of small issues, many of which sound to my ear like they could be fixed in firmware, but collectively sounding pretty awkward.

    It looks like @greppy has been having some #pota fun with it per technomage.net/2024/06/the-x62

  3. First time in the field with my new #Xiegu #G90 from #radioddity. Received several comments on great audio quality and broke through a couple of pileups (or at least got lucky) with only 20W. Impressed! Can't argue with that view from the op position.
