I have seen a lot of videos about the Xiegu X6100 and was curious how it would perform for me in the field. Having received a loaner X6100 from Radioddity I decided to use it for my latest Summits on the Air (SOTA) activation. This activation includes a scenic hike along Saguaro Lake, a little route finding, a steep hike to the top of a cliff, and some great QSOs. After operating for a couple of hours I give you my first impressions about this radio. I also give a brief loadout of my pack.
You can find the full CW recordings of this activation here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1l23ybyJgnwjOcH5R2Q6uBImpeAPnWhFg?usp=sharing
