hello! I have installed this firmware but on the FM band, it's really bad. I does not receive anything, and when it receives something, the sound is quite low and distored. DO you have any idea what could be the cause ? And on the SW band, it quickly overloads ...
If you're in SSB you can easily adjust the bfo using the 1 and 4 keys. I had to look through the release notes for this but I tested it in 0.51 and it works FB 👍 it's much easier than using the side buttons. Also you can quickly change the step size using the */scan key VY73 Rex G8UBJ
These are being 'pushed' & promoted a lot in recent times. But listening to the sound quality coming out of them I'm surprised. I realise they are cheap, but does the sound have to be so distorted & full of white noise feedback? We had far better reception from The Moon in 1969.
I posted (part of) this question on your install video for the 2.5 board, but maybe it's better asked here... It was mentioned in your install video that a full reset should be done through the menu after the firmware is updated, but I can't find this option in the menus. Am I missing something?
@@enmanueldeljesus3402 Tell us about the V5 board, I have never heard of it? You can install the firmware any time but the HF will only work once the PCB is installed
@Rex-G8UBJ I don't know much about this, I'm just starting, I'm still waiting for the si4732 v5.0 board to arrive, I think I'll have it tomorrow, then I'll tell you when I use it bro
@@enmanueldeljesus3402 I've installed v5.0 board on the UV-K(99). When you long-press the FM button it just says WAIT forever, and newer enters the SW mode.
Mainly because the hardware modification adds the LF/MF/HF receiver and not the transmitter. The VHF/UHF transmitter is not capable of transmitting on HF and even if it was, the additional low pass filters would be needed to suppress the harmonics.

Thank you very much! Yes, you are 100% correct :)
When you use the buttons on the side to change the BFO value changes by 5, when you use buttons 1 and 4 the value changes by 10
Have you found a Chirp module for the CEC that is working?
Excellent explanation, Paul!!
Thank you!
@@OM0ET Can you transmit in HF mode?
@MarconiLX nope
@ ok thanks, What firmeware version can we transmit in 11meter CB band with Ssb?
👏👏👏

on mine, the s meter doesnt move by itself. I think you have the same
Yes, but if you install ver. 0.50 it will moving 😉
What antenna is that one ?

Well, radio must be switched to the service mode: push and hold the upper side-button and PTT button and turn on your radio. Then go to Menu.
No video on V3.0 on this radio?

Paul, have you update xiegu 6100 to new firmware?
Yes, I did. It works great. :)
@OM0ET NR works better in new firmware? 🙂
@4krist i think yes, but not as good as NR in MALAHIT DSP2 😊

Paul, are you try on 1.1.9 unlock Full TX?
Can I install this firmware having the v5.0 board installed?😊

👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Can you transmit in HF mode?
I assume not because of the lack of power / battery power drain.
Mainly because the hardware modification adds the LF/MF/HF receiver and not the transmitter. The VHF/UHF transmitter is not capable of transmitting on HF and even if it was, the additional low pass filters would be needed to suppress the harmonics.
