- This is the first step in modifying this radio for custom firmware. The reason this is so big: Xiegu will undoubtable stop supporting this radio with many bugs and features left out. We as a community have now shown proof that this radio can be modified and re written to our liking.
750khz not hz.. my apologies
WILL IT 2m / 70CM? We will find out in the future!

This is so exciting. So much progress has been made in just a week on this radio. Hopefully people are backing up the current firmware versions in case things get locked down. It would be great to see some opensource firmware for this in the future.
I love the enthusiasm around this radio! The community spirit is what can drive this to greatness! Keep it up Dude and crew! 73, KF6IF
Dude! You and TO are doing yeoman's work!! Thanks for all you are both doing for Xiegu and the hobby/service!
Very excited to get my hands on my own X6100. Your videos are exciting to see. Please continue with caution.
Will do. I'm going to see if we can increase the filter bandwidths
The collaboration, n tinkering on this radio is amazing,.. super guys! 73
Awesome stuff. 👍
Great start for this radio !!
Good stuff! Well done…
I was looking at the images you posted the other day of the internals. I have the G90 and it has an obvious mark internally pointing at the 0ohm resistor to remove. Didn't see similar marking in the images and was wondering if transmit could opened up.
Great job. This is what Ham radio is about!
Very cool, thank you.
This brand new radio looks real chic and interesting

It sounds like this might be the affordable people's radio. Where the ham community is able to work it as an open-source project. Awesome!
Everything runs on Linux these days! Great work, very excited to see where this goes.
Same here! I'm excited to see Andy Kirby do some CB with it.... Great videos ...
Lots of progress on this rig!
Something I'd like to see: nonvisual readouts of radio operating parameters, setup nenus, etc. Voice or morse, either way.
Interesting, just for the fun of trying things it makes it worth buying.
Thank you for your enthusiastic approach to deep dive into this radio. I got sick of reading nasty comments on other videos how this X6100 is just a Chinese junk and everyone should buy a 705. Even some "famous" HamTubers were just quick to post videos how this is just not a good radio while failing to mention the posibility that Xiegu is onto to something and its a great opportunity for the open source community to improve on this radio and maybe even build a better firmware for it. I am getting mine in a few days and can't wait to tinker with it.
Enjoy!
Glad you liked the video. I did get rid of mine. In the beginning, there was a lot of issues with it. That's par for xiegu. Now though, I think it's supposed to be a decent running machine. Ham on!
@@HAMRADIODUDE Thank you for making excellent content for all of us. Its greatly appreciated.
Both of my SDX radios from Alibaba appear to transmit across the entire HF and up to 6m (meaning, they key without error but I've not CONFIRMED that on an SDR)
I'm late to this thread but can this same process be done to the GSOC. Had anyone tried. The G90 is open to all bands but the GSOC is not. So when coupled together it's limited to the GSOC
I'm real curious on the rf product. I have a stack of commercial 42-50mhz radio's that I finally "persuaded" to take an entry in the 6 meter band and they didn't rx or tx, but the software excepted it
Right. The microprocessor can send instructions but the RF hardware is incapable of going that high.
@@n2rj Correct. In these SDR's and what held me back is you need an outboard coax switch for the proper antenna. Even if it's a "pigtail" (like on small 2mtr radio's) I wish they had assignable ports. Like HF port 1, 6 mtr port and so on
Don't think there is enough memory/cpu power..??
But a custom firmware to turn it into a dedicated HF/6M DigiMode TX/RX
Stores qso's in either local adif and/or outputs via UDP
Idk it is weird I only have one that is visible but its almost the same but I never noticed it ,but yours seem like you'd notice .
now lets hack the price $639.00
450, please.
I’m sure this radio is meant for TX/RX with both 0 (144) and CE (430) buttons on hand mic. Wish the TOADs community would have a quick recap on what they found and what was tried on a form. Not just in discord. If there is one, I would really like to know.
I have no affiliation with TOADs anymore and got rid of this radio. But maybe reach out to them. Good luck.
@@HAMRADIODUDE Hmmm
@@wb8cxo ?
Hi, how exactly did you get the TOADS file into the file system? I put the new Jan 25 version on an SD card but I can't seem to mount it. I think I'll ask for once before hacking away in linux, my all time favorite OS (finger in throat)
Here is the modified firmware: github.com/TemporarilyOffline/X6100-TOADs/blob/main/firmware/2022-01-25%20App/x6100_ui_v100-2022-01-25-OpenTX-10W-WHITE
Just install it as you would any firmware update. Good luck!
@@HAMRADIODUDE Yeah, thanks. I have that already. I need to get it from the SD card to the /dev/app_qt/ folder. I'm having trouble mounting the SD card as sda1 or sdb1 or whatever it wants to be. I think I might have found a useful tutorial. Can't try it out until this evening. EDT.
@@Jeffsharkcove hey, I'm sorry but there seems to be some confusion. The file I sent you is the full firmware file and in order to install the mod you don't need to mount anymore, you just put the file on the SD card like you would a normal firmware update and install it like you would a normal firmware update. The SD card mounting was something that was done originally before the firmware updates actually started. When you download that file and install it like a firmware, it will automatically put the files into your app QT folder.. I'm sorry if I'm still misunderstanding, but it really seems like you're trying to load the file manually by a mounting an external USB partition.
I just checked out the read me. This may help,as there is a mount only option, I guess - github.com/TemporarilyOffline/X6100-TOADs/blob/main/firmware/README.md
@@HAMRADIODUDE Just what I was looking for. Anyway, the bootable one makes it too easy, so I'll probably do that, Ha! Thanks!
is there a hack for the gsoc for the g90
Hello.
Is it possible to get band-aid with some modified firmware without having to do it like you?
Thanks.

@@HAMRADIODUDE Hola.
Se puede abrir de banda sin usar una Raspberry Pi?
No tengo Raspberry Pi y me gustaría abrir de banda y watios mi X6100.
Existe alguna forma mas sencilla para gente con pocos recursos?
Gracias amigo.
This awful radio is now top of my wanted list, lol. The possibilities are endless it seems. Great job everyone on TOADS Discord, Shout out to Therion and his knowledge. Thanks Dude!
Did that 2 meter 70cm question ever get answered? Has it been ruled out as not possible?
It's not been answered, but the majority say it does not have the architecture for it. Bummer
Sooo is my os in the X5105 programmable in this way. My x5105 is only 5 watts, I'd like to be able to tx on 11 meters with it.... ??
Unfortunately they aren't the same. I read somewhere that the x5100 has a big arrow inside the radio, which points to where the 11m mod would go
@@HAMRADIODUDE yeah that white > is in the G90 model. But thanks just the same dude, keep doing what you do I'm really enjoying the show
This is indeed cool... but of course now it is public and I would expect subsequent firmware updates to shut down these points of entry... unless Xeigu is somehow comfortable with this all happening. 📻 🎙
Yeah, I believe they're fine with it. One of their last radios on the circuit board was printed, "cut here" (or similar)
@@HAMRADIODUDE Do you know which linux is running on it? I think a “uname -a” may tell you.
They're throwing around a part 90 version
While it is a matter of time, changing the value of some variable does not equate customizing the software and solving the radio’s problems. I think people will come up with a new “client” software, which is a completely different story.
That is the end goal... But it's not like we dive into custom coding things. We find clues, values and other indications on what we need. We use STLs on the physical boards itself. Sorry you aren't amused, feel free to join us
Hey all.. Discord link is broken. Did they ever get 2m/70cm going on this unit?
Nah. Doesn't seem possible, sorry to say
@@HAMRADIODUDE no worries. Was definitely worth a shot. Could have been the perfect radio.
Oh! This old Tony bought a x6100...
Any update on VHF UHF transmit?
Doesn't appear it will work that high. Wishful thinking on my part 😢
After the hack, if i update the firmware it is necessary to repeat the hack?
I believe so. It's been a while since I have had to do it, as I sold the radio.
Good Luck!
@@HAMRADIODUDEwhy did you sell it ??
Can you get the WIFI and bluetooth to work properly?
I did finally get them to both work after installing the latest update. The bluetooth doesn't really do anything and the wifi is really a PITA to get working, but also doesn't do much. If you know linux, you can FTP or SSH into the radio. But there are no radio implemented features really utilizing any of it, yet.
Just because the firmware is hackable that doesn't mean it will work on 2 MTRS or 70 cms as the hardware probably isn't there to allow the radio to work on these bands .
You're correct. It was wishful thinking.
Maybe we can have 630 meters!
Great radio, has good potential but they will lock that down ASAP.... with 1234. Lol
Even if it could do VHF or UHF, there would be no output filtering. Splatter everywhere.
There's nothing to produce or amplify the frequency either
It doesn't have components and filters for 70cm or anything else.
Thanks
Radioddity had said about this in an email few weeks ago...
That it was hackable for all frequencies 750khz-55mhz? I missed that one
I have my doubts that it will go beyond HF/6m as radios that do that use the 2nd nyquist or a transverter. But it will be good for 11 meters pirates though.
That's exactly what I thought as well.
If it doesn't work, then oh well. Good for the pirates. The implementation of custom firmware is huge for Amateur radio and exploring is important. We won't know until we try.
Cue another Andy Kirby video lol
They love their 7300s on 38 lower. The Channel 6 crowd is into making their rigs sound like Johnson Messengers.
a question about GSOC and G90 would like the GSOC to do all fashion and all bands just which update is that ❓ at Radio Diddy I saw what but is it ok ❓
To be honest, I don't know anything about the GSOC. I do apologize
@@HAMRADIODUDE ok no problem i just look on the net if i can find something 😉
LOL, I would never have guessed the password :-)...
Why am I having a Spaceballs flashback?
All band is a setting on the menu. You don't have to hack it
Maybe that's the case with the new firmware. With the old firmware, I don't recall all band doing anything except opening the frequency ranges for recieve
Who wants to send me one for 'testing'? 🤣
The discord invite is inop.
discord.gg/xH9kYwFA there ya go
Could you hack it for 2 meter and 70 cm??
Nope.
You deleted my comment???
I did not delete any comment
. Did you put something in with a link or something vulgar? That probably got it automatically deleted
@@HAMRADIODUDE No, I would never post anything vulgar or derogatory to you buddy. Unless it was in reference to running over radios and ex mother in laws. But I was joking.
@@blugoose86 okay I don't know why it would have been deleted then. Try again?
This is pointless. You aren’t changing the output filtering with software. Not that many people are in MARS. 27 mhz is the motivation for many.
Thanks
You are just keep talking every one is on here you should not be doing it ??
PW 123.. Thats hilarious
Amazing video as it opens a wide range of possibilities. Unfortunately the Discord invite no longer works. Could you post a new invite for TOADS? Thanks and 73! VE3AJA
