Xiegu X6100 X6100 My latest addition to the shack is the Xiegu X6100. It is a QRP transceiver for HF and 50 MHz. It can do up to 5W on battery power, and 10W when connected to an external power source. This radio is going to go with me on trips to the outdoors and of course on vacation. The compact form factor makes it tremendously suitable for this.

WiFi on the Xiegu X6100 So, I have this Xiegu X6100. It is basically a GNU/Linux machine running a dedicated radio application. I wanted to connect it to my WiFi network, but I could not manage to get it to connect. I tried some different networks, and found out that it cannot connect to the WiFi if you have a space in the password. It just doesn’t want to connect.

Xiegu X6100 has arrived Today the Xiegu X6100 arrived on my doorstep. Of course I had to play with it and try some of the features. I was able to make a short QSO with EG3HAM. My plan is to go outdoors with it this weekend, and see what it can do.
