@KC8JC Found options for LAN audio and virtual serial ports for rigctl/flrig (I guess it's for them) so I do believe that's gonna be a great enhancement to the way we use the radio. Big thanks to for delivering maybe the biggest thing yet for their radio :)

Not too bad for yesterday's activation! 43 QSOs in about an hour running 20W SSB from my .

For sale: with metal bracket & BNC dust cover, not much hours on it since it's been my travel radio and I haven't gotten much travel done with it. Will also consider reasonable trades to radio equipment, antennas, portable solar etc. Location: Helsinki, Finland.

Ok, so after watching this video, youtu.be/kunpKwVIP5o, I don't think my internal tuner is working properly.

When I tune in a particular band, it seems like it tunes, but then running the analyzer initially shows good SWR but after a bit, clicks up to a higher SWR and stays there. See this video for an example of what I'm talking about: youtu.be/ukfCqj3OlvY

Anyone else seen something similar?

Question: When transmitting at 20w on a on a freshly charged 6Ah Bioenno battery, after about 15 minutes of 50% duty cycle (FT8) I start to get a voltage from ~12.8 V to 11.1 V when transmitting, and transmit power starts to gradually decrease with time. If I let it rest a few minutes transmit power climbs up a little bit.

What's going on? Am I overtaxing the battery?

Finally got and working well with my X6100. I thought I'd mess around with Olivia on 20m but there doesn't seem to be any activity at the moment

So you read a lot of anecdotal stuff about how good the tuner in the is. "It could tune a wet noodle!" But what are the actual limits?

Personally, I am often unable to get it to tune an antenna that normally works well but is maybe setup in less than ideal conditions.

The talk makes me think that maybe something is defective with mine.
