G106, F/W version 1.2
So I just received my G106 and it has F/W Version 1.2 Oct 10, 2022 SSB sounds like everyone else's and is acceptable. CW adds an extra dit? Anyone else have this? Does 1.3 solve this? de KG9H

Hello everyone, New member here. I just picked up a used g-106 off ebay for $125. seems to be working but havent made any contacts yet. Anyone know of any RF Power Amplifiers that will mate with the g-106 easily? I looked around an some wont match up. Any suggestions? 73 David ac9xh

youtube video
I saw this video today. For those who are interested: it gives i.m.h.o. a good and honest 'very first impression' of the G106: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVcJhxinwy4

G106C Firware
Buenas tardes, tengo la versión instalada de fábrica (V1.2) el 10 de octubre de 2022 y quisiera actualizarla a la más reciente, ¿alguien podría ayudarme a conseguirlo?. ¿Necesito algún software especial o se puede intentar directamente desde un PC? Gracias

success out of box! 2
Just starting my HF journey, but chose the G106 as my first HF rig. Attracted to QRP. Especially digital Winlink e-mail with VARA HF. Got the DE-19 but haven't tried that yet. Local ham club does a weekly 10 meter net via groundwave, so I deployed my EFHW 40/20/10m sloper, and got 4 contacts - my first ever HF contacts! Very pleased to just deploy and succeed on the first try! On to digital! 73 Scott KO4SQK

G106 and winlink express? 3
Has anayone found out how to get the G106 working correctly with WINLINK Express/varahf. Set as an ICOM radio the PTT via CAT does not hold longer than 1 sec. This is an issue. Other digimodes like JS*Call via FLRIG work fine. robert

output
Has anyone measured the rf output of the G106 at different supply voltage levels? it is done for the x6100, there the full output is at 9 V already. Higher voltages just produce more heat.

[XIEGU-G106] - PTT interface
Hello the group. For those who want to build a PTT interface to command an amplifier (or an other equipment) with the G106 without destroying its ACC interface... 😉👍 73 Jo - F5NFB

Has anyone tried one of these? New microphone. 3
Available on eBay for around 47 dollars shipped from China. Interested in perking up the audio on SSB as it is a little dull. One thing I do worry about is this is a dynamic microphone and the original microphone is an electret. If the manufacturer did not include a dc blocking capacitor it could ruin the dynamic element in short order or damage the radio itself. Thanks, randy.ab9go@...

new g106 owner
new owner here; picked up one from the s. american river last week... left an eham review w/my experiences... just crafted two rj9 headphone adapters... this will make life easier on my /p outings (had to use the speaker, which was OK, but with HC-130 aircraft flying overhead, park lawnmowers and grass blowers, cars, panhandlers, and curious passerby around in the local park, listening to faint sigs was difficult - although i did snag CO on my last outing from down here in the Near Tropics) i'm leaving the mic in the box as i will primarily use the rig for CW - it seems to work FB... rig arrived w/1.2, but a minute later was easily upgraded to 1.2... now if only Xiegu would enable MEM->VFO copy, this rig would be great... i get around this limitation by using the BSM menu setting (seems easier to QSY) my question: the documentation for the DE-19 shows an incorrect DB connector on the rear of the rig that does not match the actual connector on the rig! anyone have a link to a corrected or updated DE-19 sheet? tks, and 72, bill, kg4zqz

Today I spotted that there is a new review for the G106: see https://qrper.com/2023/06/an-in-depth-review-of-the-xiegu-g106-qrp-hf-transceiver/ Robert 73's

new firmware 3
Latest firmware update for the Xiegu G106 was 1.2 build 03 (October 10, 2022). That is more than 7 months ago. Will new firmware be coming soon? PS for the G90 and X6100 more IV commands are added (essentially the same IV commands as used the IC-705). Will the G106 follow?
