Today I’m soldering up a batch of TOADs DI and TOADs DI8 digital interface boards. The black PCBs are DI8s for Xiegu radios, and the purple PCBs are the standard DI boards. I walk through the soldering process, install the headers, inspect the work, and show how these little boards go from bare kit parts to ready-to-use radio interface tools for digital modes like FT8 on your Xiegu G90, G106 and X5105.

This is also a service I offer. If you want a DI or DI8 but don’t want to solder it yourself, I can assemble it, test it, prove it works, and check that it fits the 3D printed case before it ships. In this video I test the finished boards with a Xiegu G90, make FT8 contacts, and verify the whole setup works from solder joint to radio contact.
