I’m not willing to break the warranty seal on this unit to adjust it, so I’ll just live with a much-tighter-than-I’d-like encoder. Radioddity was quite responsive to my issues with the X6100, but frankly I had a lot going on during that time frame so it took longer than normal to troubleshoot, modify, test, and send back the faulty unit.įortunately, the replacement X6100 has no encoder issues other than the brake is very tight. I basically didn’t have a functioning unit for most of February, March, and April. Many of you have asked why I haven’t taken the X6100 to the field more often this year and this is why. The X6100 unit in this field report is my replacement–technically, the third X6100 I’ve had in my hands, and this was my first activation using it. I tried fixing it (with instructions received from Xiegu) but in the end had to return the transceiver for replacement. You can see the back of the encoder to the right of the ribbon cable. In February, when I received the X6100 I purchased, I immediately noticed a small mechanical issue with the encoder. I kept that unit for a few weeks, shipped it on, and purchased one of my own. My activations with the X6100 early this year (2022) were all performed using a loaner unit sent to me by Radioddity. Since I go over this in more detail in the activation video (linked and embedded below), I’ll give you the nutshell version here: So why would this X6100 be considered a “new” radio–? Regular readers of might question the wording in my title since I’ve already posted several field reports and even a full review of the Xiegu X6100.
