Many thanks for review 👍
Nice one Tony. If anyone ever doubted QRP operation, they should watch one of your videos. Have a good weekend mate.
Great video introduction. Thank you
Christ, and here's me with my FT-65 thinking I'm Richard Burton in Where Eagles Dare....

Thanks. I’m trying to learn a little before my 6200 gets here. I have one preordered here in the US.
I beta test for XieGu and have the preproduction/prototype X6200 also. XieGu are producing a VHF/UHF module that will plug into the expansion port on the top of the radio giving it 2 metres and 70cms, making it a shack in a box. 73de Wayne 2e0bvj

Hope, they won't stay on beta :) I know what I am talking about...
Looking forward to seeing the production unit and what the expansion slot has to offer :-)

It look great would like my x6100 not used yet + cash adjustment
The overall finish looks really refined, nice tooling on the case. I have the x5105 and recently the x6100 pretty sure I will get this one as well. Love that antenna, does the 6100 also have that cool FT8 feature?

Did you manage to replace the internal battery of your x5105? Regrettably mine is nearly done. Besr regards!
Only one radio for me, the ts480hx, qrp to qro, mobile, home-based, great rx, small footprint. 73. Zl3xdj
Seeing the SWR and Tuner would be nice. Went out for a POTA a few weekends ago and the G90 was able to take the place of unplugging/replugging a RigExpert. I could have my son change the length of the telescoping mast and I'd see the change on the SWR sweep as soon as he backed away 10ft. Does this have something similar?
I understand that they want to sell as many x6200s as possible but... For me the x6100 is perfect. With the Russian firmware i can RX AND TX ON FT4/FT8. cheaper radio, 5-10watt. Be honest about everything please.

I agree. The 6200 features and quality are not enough to justify the change with R1CBU firmware for the 6100.

@@JJ-el8li R1CBU has cancelled the developpment of that firmware and is thinking about making an open transceiver, since he has enough of Xiegu's coding and hardware!
You need a fuse in that battery lead!
Still waiting to see if it suffers from broadcast interference.
is that battery suitable for powering the yaesu 891 for SOTA & POTA?

Since that is a software based radio, why don't they build the antenna tuner into it?

It DOES have an internal antenna tuner built in!

what does it being an SDR have to do with an ATU?
where is CW? It's too bad that this transceiver is mainly designed for SMS and a little SSB. but it's too big for a smartphone.
That's a ridiculous battery for qrp

I'm sure it will be used with other radios too. It fits in his bag and I would expect it's light as it's lipo. Why buy separate batteries?
Great vid & tnx for posting! 73 de WA4ELW in TN 🇺🇸 dit dit 😃
