XIEGU X5105 and UltraLight MLA antenna QRP

[@MyTube4Utoo]

HAM Radio at it's finest - on (5) watts! Your magnetic loop antenna sure does the job for you. Thank you Paul, for yet another enjoyable video. Also, you have a very beautiful country. 73

[@OM0ET]

Thank you a lot for this nice comment! ;-) It gives me a motivation to do they more ;-) 73, Paul

[@oladapoaloba]

Excellent QRP mate👍love the antenna. Have a good one 👍

[@OM0ET]

Thank you! ;-)

[@Janom66]

Great job, great result! Thanks for the interesting videos!

[@barrykery1175]

Enjoyed your video. That's a little too cold for me to set up portable. Hi Hi I think I will wait for spring thaw. I like the small magnetic loop, it seems to do a great job. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Barry, KU3X

[@OM0ET]

Thank you Barry :-) Was +2C but no wind, so was easy to be there. I was there for about 2 and half hours. I like so quiet enviroment as is on the hills or fields. 73 ;-)

Pekný TRX a čo dokáže !!!! Pekné video....

[@OM0ET]

Jan Soltes Dakujem ;-)

[@davidperry813]

Lovely QTH Paul.

[@sudberceni257]

In the 11m lane, someone managed to open the station. and how did you do it. Thanks 73!

[@TomSP9TL]

How's the internal battery after those 2 years? This battery is the only concern I have. Would I be able to replace it myself?

[@ceespa1ca421]

Very nice video. I ordered the same radio and hope to get it soon! :-)

[@OM0ET]

Cees (PA1CA) nice, where did you ordered from? Sinotel or other company?

[@ceespa1ca421]

I ordered it from a company on Amazon Germany. This way I don't have to pay any import taxes which I normally have to do when I order things from China. I'm looking forward to receiving it! Are you happy with the radio?

[@OM0ET]

Cees (PA1CA) Yes i am very happy with this transceiver. It has internal auto tuner and antenna analyser. All bands+6m and all modes incl.digi. Today evening i will upload another video and this radio will be figured out too - ant.analyser.

[@ceespa1ca421]

Nice, I will for sure watch it! I will need to find out where to get a data cable, or how to make it myself because I do a lot of digi modes. Oh well, there will be a lot to play and learn with this radio I think! :-)

[@OM0ET]

Cees (PA1CA) this radio has very intuitive menu and very easy to understand and to use it.

[@Carterofmars]

What case/cover are you using for the x5105? Would you recommend this QRP radio as a first radio for someone just entering the hobby? Great videos!

[@OM0ET]

Jerry Mungo hello. I use old model of the FOMEI POINT camera bag. And this radio is running maximally 5W so i recommend use power amplifier if you want to use this TRX as the base radio. Is good radio i like it very very much because is very versatile due to internal 3.5Ah battery, noise reduction and perfect internal ATU (automatic tuner). But if i wanted buy base radio i should look for Yaesu FT-891. 😉 73

[@Carterofmars]

I'd like to have it as both a base and a field radio if possible. Could you recommend an amplifier that would be a good match for the X5105? Maybe: www.hobbypcb.com/products/hf-radio/hardrock-50-hf-power-amp --KD2QCZ 73

[@OM0ET]

Jerry actually is Xiegu working on 120W version PA which will be originally designed for Xiegu and its size will be also comparable with X5105. In combination with this PA it will be very good solution for base usage as well. If you want to have more info just join us on Facebook to the Xiegu group. They have great support by one englishmen guru. He will answer on all questions. Find: Xiegu X108G & X5105 facebook group

[@Carterofmars]

I think that group may have closed on FB for some reason. I used to find, but all of a sudden cannot find anymore. I do find: Transceiver QRP facebook.com/groups/mulianzheng/about/

[@Carterofmars]

I'm very interested in Xiegu's PA- Is this what you are referring to: www.cqxiegu.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60&product_id=68

[@milanpacmaga4381]

Nice video and equipment :-)

[@OM0ET]

Tha ďakujem kráaasne ;-)

[@milanpacmaga4381]

OMOET mozno ak by si ju nevesal na strom ale dal by si ju na nejaky stativ, alebo drziak, tak by bola ucinnost este vysia a nedeformoval by sa vyzarovaci diagram.

[@OM0ET]

Milan Pačmaga ano momentalne pracujem aj na tom. Zhanam nejaky lahky sklapatelny stativ a aj sposob ako k nemu primontovat tu PVC trubku. Jeden kdesi mam ale neviem kam som ho zapotrosil. :-P

[@usernamemykel]

Great vid. I understand that this radio has a great antenna tuner, so I'm wondering if I'd get decent RX/TX by simply hooking it up to my home's rain leaders/gutters, without the need for additional hardware - what do you think? Thank you!

[@OM0ET]

Well, I could try to test it this way 😊

[@usernamemykel]

@@OM0ET Terrific, please advise of your results when this is accomplished, thanks!

Good video Paul❗️ I am wondering if you are still using the Xiegu 5105 and how you like it❓ I am interested in getting one❗️How do you like it❓

[@OM0ET]

Oh yes, I am. It's my best portable TRX I ever had. 😉👍 I am very happy with it!

[@mikemiles3068]

@@OM0ET 🙏🏼 THANK YOU❗️ You gave me an idea🤔 as I can’t get out much or go very far from we do have a nice little park very close to my home 🏡 and if I got the Xiegu X5105 I could walk Down to the park and make a few contacts, that would be fun❗️. 73 KV5P

👍👍👍

Ahoj, si spokojny s X5105?

[@OM0ET]

Ahoj, jasnacka. Je to uzasne radio! Nelutujem peniaze ktore som za neho dal. Stale ho nosim ked idem niekam na vylet. 😉

Este jedna otazocka. Mas tam nahodeny novsi fimware ktory vie zobrazit dekodovanu psk31 prevadzku? Ak ano tak bol s upgrade velky problem?

[@OM0ET]

@ ano samozrejme, vzdy mam nainstalovany najnovsi FW ktory nam zasiela anglicky beta tester a zaroven admin v Xiegu Facebookovej skupine. A problem s tym nebol. Akurat asi mam ja problem s PC lebo mi pravidelne vyhadzuje spojenie na seriovom porte pocas upgradu X5105. Teraz co je posledny FW tak ide vsetko bez problemov. Postupne vychytavame chyby.

Neviem ci pouzivas nejaky original usb na rs232 dodany k trx alebo nejaky vlastny, ale ja ich mam niekolko a kazdy sa sprava inac :) Kazdy vyrobca ma vlastny standard co sa tyka urovni napatia, oneskorenia koli buffrovaniu atd. :)

[@OM0ET]

Ano mam kabel ktory mi pribalili k radiu.

[@mikemiles3068]

[@m0bob]

5&7 when running 5 watts with a small mag loop is superb. Nico 500 watts...lol. Sorry Nico. Amateur radio is like fishing, sometimes you catch the big one and other times it gets away.

Antenna lose za qrp!

[@bobsullivan5714]

Before you buy one of these turds, take a look around and notice there is no one to help you repair it....There is no one to help you when you brick the radio with a failed firmware upgrade. I have a $500 paperweight. It's a disposable radio.
