Let's assume that someone has a Xiegu G7250 and is about to record a video. What questions would you have?
Asking for a #hamradio friend 🙂

R1CBU firmware for the Xiegu X6100 is still evolving. This 2026 update covers FT8/FT4, POTA/SOTA tools, CESSB, VOX and CW refinements—plus an important warning about version 0.34.1. If you enjoy experimenting with portable SDR radios, the X6100 still has plenty of life left in it. https://ke2yk.com/2026/08/22/r1cbu-x6100-firmware-in-2026-what-has-changed/ #HamRadio #Xiegu #X6100 #QRP #FT8

End of today's activation at US-4557, with the JPC-12 antenna configured for 10 meters. The gate back to the main road is in the background. Thanks to all the hunters today! #POTA #ArizonaTrail #QRP #Xiegu #HamRadio

Hi #HamRadio friends! Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my posts last week.
I came up with a design for a clip-on mic hangar for the #xiegu G90.
Check out my blog for more details: https://tdot.fish/2026/02/08/g90-mic-hook
Or grab the STL and print your very own on from Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1591939-xiegu-g90-clip-on-mic-hook
Milder weather is coming to my area this week so hopefully I can get back on the air soon ... good thing because I'm out of 3D print ideas for the moment.

#hamradio inspired me to get back into 3D printing ... I designed and 3D printed a clip-on speaker redirector for my #xiegu G90.

HI #hamradio friends.
I could not find a clear explanation on how to work the filter on my #xiegu #G90 with the current (v.1.80+ firmware), so I put one together for the community.
It can be found on my blog for those who prefer a read: https://tdot.fish/2026/01/16/g90-filter

Forgot to mention that I activated US-0979 over the weekend. 32 FT8 contacts on 20m in 2 hours from coast to coast. #Xiegu X6200 running at 8w using #Elecraft AX3 antenna. #hamradio #amateurradio #pota

@mallory my first - and to date only - HF gear is a #Xiegu x5105 and I am VERY happy with it.
As a new #ham you want to get on the air NOW. At least that was what I wanted to do. Learning to solder beforehand is nothing I’d like to do in that situation.
It has a great #ATU built-in and also a built in keyer for #CW as far as I remember.

I'm still not sure if I like it, but at least I give it a try: Lately I'm experimenting with #ft8 on #10m & #15m in #portable operations. I want to get a feeling for #digimodes.
It's surprisingly challenging doing this when being /p. And I have one big issue, maybe you can help me?
Why is it that in MOST of my QSOs on FT8 the OMs write at least 5 times their report and don't get my final „RR 73“ in the meantime? Even when getting a good report? Any ideas? I'm doing 15W with a #Xiegu G90.

There is a mailing list for the #Xiegu #X6200 a new radio via #radioddity that builds on the previous generation #X6100
https://groups.io/g/xiegu-x6200
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 https://technomage.net/2024/06/the-x6200-initial-thoughts/

Xiegu G90 with FLRig – Getting U-D mode on startup
An unexpected follow up to my last post.
One of the problems with newer versions of FLRig is that it seemingly causes my G90 to revert to the last non-data mode that FLRig was in. For me this is usually USB (Upper Sideband). This is because when I run FLRig with WSJT-X, I need to be in USB-Data mode on the G90, but FLRig doesn’t have a dedicated mode for […]

Так как контроллер весит немного в стороне, никогда не обращал внимания на потребление Xiegu G90. А сегодня, в момент передачи на FT8, обратил внимание сколько кушает этот трансивер. Сто раз подумаешь, стоит ли его питать от автомобиля, так как есть шанс увлечься и потом просто не уехать. А заводить для подзарядки - это помехи. Надо будет с Discovery TX-500 такое же проверить, особо по входу не задумывался. Обычно ведь все мерят мощностью на выходе. :)
PS На выход было 20Вт.

На этот раз немного про Xiegu G90 и модем к нему. Когда-то купил и использовал даже на CB (JS8 на 27245 кГц). Но одна беда - периодически отваливался. Проверено на нескольких компьютерах и операционках. Сегодня посмотрел распиновку ACC порта и просто припаял в моно 2 джека 3,5. Работает со встроенной звуковой картой без проблем. Так что, если захочется в цифру с этого замечательного аппаратика, есть смысл прикупить только штекеры и до встречи в эфире! :)

I made my own version of K3NG's Arduino CW keyer. Using an Arduino Nano. All components were sourced from AliExpress. The PCB was designed in KiCad. It will be used to key the Xiegu X6100 during next Region 1 CW fieldday.
https://github.com/k3ng/k3ng_cw_keyer/wiki
Will be documented in detail on https://www.golb.be/nano-keyer/
Gerber files and links to the components will be shared.
