Oh, Nice - another eBay-Shop selling my Designs (under CC-BY-SA-4.0) without giving credit. It would be so easy to follow the licensing rules, as I intentionally allowed commercial use.

Project can still be found here (where he also copied the pictures 😉 )

Excited to try a new Xiegu G106 firmware update that claims to improve the AGC. Right after transmitting it sometimes passes through a burst of loud signal… fingers crossed that's what got fixed.

The instructions provided from the manufacturer are for Windows. On #Linux you can use "screen" to trigger the firmware erase and "sx" (found in the "lrzsz" package) to transfer the file.

Has anyone that uses a #Xiegu #X6100 replaced the internal batteries? Mine is way out of warranty and the batteries don't hold much of a charge. I think it should be a pretty straitforward job.

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.

You can read more about it here on my blog: https://tdot.fish/2026/02/01/g90-speaker-redir

Or grab the model and print your very own: https://www.printables.com/model/1581461-xiegu-g90-clip-on-speaker-redirector

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

Or as a video, with captions, on YT: https://youtu.be/xGhJ5ZyVq1s

HF packet radio on M2 macOS with Xiegu X6100, direwolf, hamlib, and paracon (quick notes)

Install Stuff

• with Homebrew
  • brew install direwolf
  • brew install hamlib
• make direwolf config folder
  • I chose /Users/Matt/direwolf
• download paracon: https://github.com/mfncooper/paracon/releases/
  • put into direwolf config folder

Configure Stuff

• update direwolf.conf with call sign, name of audio devices, and PTT setup
  • ADEVICE "USB Audio Device" "USB Audio Device"
    • Those are actual names, not placeholders
  • PTT RIG 3087 /dev/cu.usbmodem53620077003
    • Xiegu X6100 is hamlib rig 3087
    • Device list can be found with ls /dev/cu.* and copied into the line
    • This probably changes every time you plug it in?

Get Going

• plug X6100 (dev) into computer
• assuming direwolf config folder at ~/direwolf:
  • run cd ~/direwolf & direwolf
  • run python3 ~/direwolf/paracon_1.3.0.pyz
• Paracon: AGW connection
  • AGW host 127.0.0.1
  • AGW port 8000

Yesterday, for the first time, I packed my Xiegu X6200 Shortwave TRX, my Difona HF-P1 and went into the Woods. Well actually I set up at the local Heidefläche (is there an English word for this?)

Had some really nice QSOs and there was actually a lot going on on 15m.

Even accidentally hunted some POTAs 😁😀
