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.

I didn't get back quickly enough and didn't make it to the attic for the big antenna. But the picture is better than I expected for a cheap handheld radio with rubber antenna :-) #ARISS_SSTV #sstv #iss #robot36 #Radioddity

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/

Radioddity is teasing a Xiegu X6200, and there's a groups.io mailing list

https://groups.io/g/xiegu-x6200

alas the groups.io list has 100 members already so it's closed to new members (until it gets a paid subscription, I guess) and the archives are also closed so it's not really a source of information.
