Xiegu G90 : My verdict & experience after a year of ownership

[@F4LDT-Alain]

Thanks for this informative review. I'm a member of the G90 team as well and I really like it a lot. I only do SSB, no digital modes and I always get compliments for the quality of my audio. These days I work portable from coastal Brittany with just the G90 and simple vertical antennas and I'm able to work VK/ZL stations almost every morning and quite a few US and South American stations in the late afternoon/evening. The G90 + the salt water boost effect is a winning combination. I don't need more! Temperature in Brittany is kind of chilly now, especially in the morning, so I don't quite need extra cooling for it 😁

Your welcome. The G90 is more than enough for me. If I needed more power I would have got a Yaesu or Icom, but because of my restrictions they would be a waste of money even though they produce great transceivers.

Ive had my G90 for a few years now, Never let me down. Used it for 8 hours straight when out portable and didnt get hot. I got it for it internal atu and can tune up just about anything. Only let down for me is the screen isnt good in sunlight and the speaker is a bit jarring on the ears.. or mine at least!.

Another G90 user here. They're good little radios and are sensibly priced. Sure, it's no Yaesu or Icom, but it does the job quite nicely.

Thanks for your insight, very informative. I haven't yet passed my test but thought i would buy a G90 based on lots of reviews. Great to hear your thoguhts after 1 year of use. Aiming for a pass before Christmas.
