X6200_Update_1.0.7 (251012) — Release Notes [EN]

1. Optimized the AGC algorithm and fine-tuned the AGC rise time in each mode to improve the listening experience.
2. Fixed a bug where WFM demodulation would become silent after being left idle for a period of time.
3. Fixed a bug where battery capacity detection was inaccurate.
4. Fixed a bug that caused crackling noise in the received audio after the CW decoder was turned on.
5. Optimized the NR algorithm.
6. Changed the baseband uplink data to use SLIP encoding.
7. Added 2.5 kHz and 5 kHz tuning step options in SSB mode.
8. Changed the preset filter bandwidths in AM mode to 9 / 12 / 15 kHz.
9. Optimized the receiving noise floor.
10. Added an option to display the receiving level in the upper-left corner of the spectrum window
    (DISPLAY 3/3 > SHOW RX LEVEL, default =OFF)
11. Added two waterfall chart speed options: NORMAL / SLOW
    (DISPLAY 3/3 > WATERFALL SPEED, default = NORMAL).
12. Modified the upper frequency limit to 136 MHz (consistent with the manual).
13. Fixed a bug that caused a black screen and disconnection when rotating the main tuning wheel quickly while connected to a WR12.
14. Fixed a bug that caused the spectrum display to freeze (in severe cases, the entire screen would freeze) when the RF spectrum line color transparency was set below 255.
15. Removed the CW option from the MODEM interface (the CW decoder has been moved to the KEY menu).
16. Added a 3D BANDSCOPE option
    (DISPLAY 3/3 > 3D BANDSCOPE = ON).

1. The gain allocation in the baseband section adjusted to improve the received signal to noise ratio, to reduce broadcast crosstalk, and o minimize birdies.
2. Adjusted the spectrum/waterfall automatic level tracking mode to improve the signal contrast when dealing with strong signals, easier to distinguish between signal and noise.
3. Added audio spectrum/oscilloscope switch, when turned off the spectrum/waterfall will be use the full svreen.
4. Fixed a bug where MFK tags could not be saved.
5. Optimized the NR, noise Reduction algorithm.
6. Adjusted the CI-V data format.
7. Adjusted the operation logic of the WLAN settings interface.
8. Adjusted the operation logic of BLUETOOTH setting interface.

BASE: V1.1.6 Mar 7 2023,09:57:03

NOTICE: Consider this version experimental! For normal use we recommend version 1.1.6.

1. Added wfview server to enable support for wfview, see included ‘x6100 wfserver.pdf’ file for setup instructions.

wfview is a free and open source program that allows many modern Icom ham radio transceivers (such as the Xiegu X6100, IC-7300, IC-9700, IC-7610, IC-R8600, the IC-705, and many others) to be controlled via a computer. wfview shows the gorgeous spectrum display on whatever display is connected, including projectors, touch screens, and TVs. wfview allows for full radio (remote) control from a computer keyboard and basic control from a numeric keypad. wfview can run on hardware ranging from the $35 Raspberry Pi to laptops to desktops. wfview runs on recent versions of Linux, macOS, and Windows. wfview supports rig control over ethernet/wifi as well as over the traditional USB serial CIV bus. wfview also allows older radios to be accessed over the internet, for full control and low-latency audio streaming.

More information about wfview is found at wfview.org.

Tips & Note:
#### The X6100 internal WiFi antenna is only usable when adjacent to the access point. Consistent performance is achieved by connecting a wired USB-C LAN dongle to the HOST connector using a LAN cable between the radio and access point.

Always read the enclosed update log!

ATTENTION: If you have firmware older than the previous January 17 update, please see the below information regarding the battery management update;

1. The built-in battery gauge is enabled to manage the battery cell. After the upgrade, the battery voltage will no longer be used as the management data, but the battery capacity measured by the battery gauge will be used as the management data. The relevant precautions are as follows:

1.1 After updating the firmware, please perform 4 full charge and full discharge cycles in a row, after which the fuel gauge will measure accurately. Just after updating the firmware, before the 4 times of charge and discharge are completed, the displayed power error is large, so don’t pay attention to it. The charging process should be kept as continuous as possible until the charging instruction is completed, which is conducive to the accurate capacity determination of the fuel gauge.

1.2 The updated charging indicator status is as follows:
Blinking: Indicates charging
Steady on: Indicates that charging is complete
Off: When the charging option is turned off in the menu, the indicator light will not be on.

1.3 After the update, when the power is lower than 10%, the battery symbol shows red and the interior is empty, and the device will automatically shut down.

1.4 The battery voltage is no longer used as the basis for the judgment of low battery.

Tool to create SD card with FW updates for Xiegu X6100. Download Firmware Update Tutorial for instructions.

The purpose of this tutorial is to guide operators to connect the X6100 to a PC for operating FT8 and other digital modes.

This is the v1.81 Firmware for Xiegu G90 with both Main Unit and Display unit firmware files.

Fixes & Improvements

Head Unit Changes:

1. Fixed a bug where a small black box appeared in the upper-right corner of the TX ERROR prompt page.
2. Fixed a bug where automatic antenna tuning would get stuck in SLPT mode.

Main Unit Changes:

1. Fixed a bug where NFM had no receive (RX) audio.
2. Adjusted the display method of the ALC value:
   – Range: 0-100
   – Meaning: Indicates MIC or LINE IN audio level. A higher value represents a stronger input signal.
   When operating in DIGI mode, adjust the LINE IN gain or PC volume to ensure the ALC value remains
   ≤ 50 for optimal linearity.
