Xiegu X6200 - HF Transceiver - Full Review

[@Alex-M0OOV]

I saw it in person, played a little with it. It is a lovely radio and the screen is superb! The buttons feel good and the overall build quality excellent. It should be on the wish list of everyone wanting to go portable. I personally own the 991A and the IC-7300 and would love to have one of these to go out with.

Thanks for the review Peter !

[@watersstanton]

you are very welcome.

[@davidportch8837]

I liked the "classical" music Peter... well done...

[@watersstanton]

Much appreciated

Hi Peter, thanks for the nice review and especially the demo of a QSO. The spectrum and waterfall looks wonderfull there. Xiegu should use your settings instead of the default grassy spectrum which needs some mowing by raising averaging. :-) Cool radio though! 73, Erwin

Glad it was helpful!

[@watersstanton]

Hi peter.can you listen to commercial shortwave radio on this i was thinking of getting the tecsun h5o1 but might stretch to this

[@watersstanton]

if you want to listen to Shortwave broadcast stations then the Tecsun has much the better internal speaker.

[@protektwar]

available end of july... if... maybe autumn

[@davidwalle5025]

Good review

[@winstonchurchill6506]

Ml & s did a review today as well

[@redstickham6394]

Interesting little radio. It can go portable and with the amp, it could be a good base radio. Does it have a built in soudcard for digital modes?

[@watersstanton]

Yes it does.

[@Edward-s2y6i]

Where can I buy this recevier and how much is it

[@shandybrandy5407]

Thanks for this and the ririg looks pretty impressive. However, X-6100 was a failure in several fronts and without addressing those shortcomings Xiegu have launched the X-6200. Got to wait and watch. Cheers! New Delhi

[@watersstanton]

Well my x6100 is working fine and I use it a lot for portable operation, though mainly for CW.

[@robertallbright]

Yes, the X6100 is an excellent cw performer 73 Robert G3RCE

[@shandybrandy5407]

My preference is SSB mode.

[@kylefreemason]

I believe for the price and low output power, this radio will not be a hit among amateurs

[@manoffaith2501]

I agree. For me to be interested in this radio it should have an output of 20 watts. I will not be buying one.

[@PhilG8PJH]

Any better than the 6100? Probably not, but lots of hype.

[@watersstanton]

Until we have a more detailed user manual and the final firmware, we won’t know the answer to that.

[@robertallbright]

Very nice for changing battery I wonder if the ssb tx quality is better than the X6100? Rob G3RCE

[@sm6ehy816]

What technical improvements are made from the 6100; block or schematic diagram ?

[@watersstanton]

I only had a draft Manual and no circuit diagram. I listed all that I could ascertain.

[@robertvarner9519]

🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶 great music.

[@watersstanton]

Many thanks

[@jptrade8575]

My computer just ask me to go FT-8 so it can talk to other computers.

[@SurvivingTheApocalypse]

Zu-eye-goo.

[@cjsmit5162]

NOT AGAIN!

[@watersstanton]

Seeing is believing.

[@cjsmit5162]

I own the Xiegu x6100 for a couple of years now and for me thats a great qrp rig. And with the R1CBU firmware i can operate ft4/ft8 on the x6100. RX AND TX!!!.

[@cjsmit5162]

I own the Xiegu X6100 for a couple of years now as my qrp rig and its perfect for me. with the R1CBU firmware it runs rx and tx FT4/FT8 Oke the x6200 has a higher resolution screen as nd a removable battery but then again only 4/8 watt as the x6100 has 5/10 watt. But hey, i get it, it supposed to sell.

[@alvinnorris6523]

Thanks for the demonstration. One of my goals is to visit your store and maybe get to meet you. W8ujm

[@watersstanton]

Nice comment. Many thanks.

[@pauls8456]
