Ok, if you are capable doing, please do so. I am not.

@@crazycats100 well I didn’t know if I was, and I literally just tried. Took me 10 minutes. Well I still have to put it back together but still done. Many KZbin tutorials on how to do it

Paying $400 more for US version is better than the risk of killing $1000 Japanese version by trying to mod (for me). I have bad eyesight. Not to mention you can't get warranty.

I might do some research. But my suggestion is to buy a used PC. I never understand why people limit themselves to just own one new PC. I bought a lot of used PCs and except a few they were fine.

There are a lot of videos explaining the procedure. Here is one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZOZXpSviNxsncU This one assumes you have Windows 10 installed and want to add Bliss OS.

@@crazycats100 thank you very much sir

New update is available here.

@@crazycats100 Awesome! Thank you so much for the update and letting me know.

After I read you comment, I actually tried that but it did not work.

@@crazycats100 Ah ok, well thank you for trying anyway!

Yes, that will be me. Check the description later.

​@@crazycats100 Thank you, you are awesome 👍

You may want to keep the older firmware. There may be bugs. There was a bug in a version released yesterday but the developer quickly fixed it and released it as the same version today.

What are you expecting from the final version? See X6100 fly? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Thank you. You won't know how encouraging.

Are you running the firmware? That makes you 5th known user in the world.

testing and looking for screen settings.

Try using different version of OS. I did trial and error multiple times to get to work with my PC. Use good quality USB flash drive. Reformat USB flash and recreate the installer and try again.

OK, it's your choice. I like the latest sBitx 64 bit Field Day Patch 1.

MIDI OUT of Keystep goes to MIDI IN of UMH-21. USB Host of UMH-21 goes to USB of JT. Sorry about the sound. I didn't think anyone watch it. I need fund to buy a good mic. Anything costs money I am doing it for free. No money is coming from KZbin.

No. You need to take $1,000 risk. Make sure the vendor accepts free returns.

I am not encouraging people to purchase X6100. If that's not obvious, that's my failure. As an owner, I've had so much headache with this radio. I am suggesting to do thorough research of the product you are about to buy. Xiegu quality control is hit or miss. Sexiness does not help actual QSOs either.

@@crazycats100 amazon now has the 6100 for $490. It’s hard to ignore at that price.

Actually, I just saw it for $465. That’s a steal.

I wasn't seeing that price. OK, that's business price. My company won't allow me to buy it. Anyway, I won't call buying X6100 a bargain at any price. Brand new IC-705 for $1,000? That's bargain or steal if it's in fully-working condition. This is an owner of both radios speaking. X6100 - a lot of trouble, IC-705 - trouble free.

@@crazycats100 Yeah but the best price on the 705 that I've seen is $1340 from DX Eng. That means you buy the 6100 at $450 and the FT-710Field for $880 totaling $1330, which is still $10 cheaper than the 705. Granted you don't get qrp 2m/440 in that configuration, but you do have everything else and a 100W base station that is pretty small that you don't have to put at risk with outdoor POTA operations. To each his own. The 705 is an awesome radio. But, given all the SDRs at about $350 running Thetis or the large selection of open source hijacked-by-China running at $400 such as the MegaCheapHF (MCHF) M0NKA derivatives or even the ultra cool Russian TX-500, it's hard to justify the Icom at current pricing. Now if they dropped the 705 pricing to compete with the FT-710... then game on.

You can't. It's very old software and the publisher never had downloadable software for existing users. You may not know but the software only works with the hardware connected.

There is nothing to it. You use an app such as Midi Tools or MIDI-Ox to virtually connect Keystep to JT.

@@crazycats100 i tried that but it didnt wanna show up hMM might be my keyboard

Make sure to install correct keyboard device driver for your OS.

sudo apt remove wsjtx

Likely, but since I do not own G90, I am not able to confirm whether it works.

@@crazycats100 Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give it a try if I decide to do this. Got it that you own the Xiegu X6100 not the G90. Thanks again.

Because I hate Windows. No, that disk was given by somebody else and I didn't bother format it before recording the video. Besides, I have too many Windows PCs.

That sucks. Even the Casio DH-100 had velocity and aftertouch.

run "sudo apt install make" to install make. I reviewed my write-up and it's there. That means you didn't follow the instruction exactly. If you miss any command, it won't work.

😂😂😂

If you are capable, go ahead. The point is that those vendors do not disclose the frequency differences and take advantage of those who thought they got great bargain.

good to know. thanks

Just received sBitx. I would still keep X6100. They serve different purposes.

It's a few days after the box came. The case had to be assembled before it's usable.

@@crazycats100 Okay. Good.

yes, the link is updated, but the image is more than a year old. nobody is using X6100 armbian except to entertain friends

@@crazycats100 Downloading now thank you!

I don't do CW but just got your name.

Yes. You copy the tgz to a particular location, not just anywhere. When you turn on the radio, the patch is automatically applied, which makes it version 0.20.1.

@@crazycats100thank you had a hard time keeping up with the video without you talking lol, I got it now🎉

I put 6 but it shows only 4. It's for FT8 TX so 4 char is all you need.

MIDIOx works fine on my Win10 PCs. I totally forgot about it when I was making this video and looked for a MIDI monitor app and found MIDITools.

howdy brother!

No. I did it without a developer account. You need an iCloud account.

See these videos. Someone already asked and I responded. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHSpequPeK2kY6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6ecdYKNfMxqlZY
