Post date July 12, 2025

Big job today and I was dreading it – but we finally got the extension fitted to the 4-inch (actually 110mm) underground pipe and then into the Coax Cabinet – and pulled the 11 cables through. Next up, Cable exit, Rotator controllers and Genius Switches – and a ton of coax.

Yes, Keep Bonding Wires Outside (#1295)

Post author By admin
Post date July 11, 2025

@robtennison42 thinks that his house is grounded to the copper cold water pipe. What options are there for bonding the grounds together without letting lightning into the house? Seems like a stupid idea to run a bonding wire inside when the whole point is to protect the home!

Stop Struggling: The RIGHT Way to Set Up WiFi on X6100 & X6200

Post author By admin
Post date July 11, 2025

In a word… "Patience".

The issue with WiFi is well known to Xiegu. We have already asked Xiegu several times to get that fixed. Unfortunately the Xiegu WiFi implementation seems to be buggy / insufficient.

📻 Use Code TO15 for $15 off at Radioddity: https://www.radioddity.com/?ref=bpajyqft

Known issues with WiFi:
only 2.4GHz supported (5GHz: not supported)
Mesh-networks not supported
WiFi6 not supported
Most of the special characters within a password: not supported
WPA2 password protected
DHCP sometimes does cause issues

If all else fails, try the following:

Log on to your X6100/X6200 via the DEV-port (CONSOLE).
Navigate to the following folder:

sudo stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 cs8 -parenb
screen /dev/ttyACM0 115200
username: root
password: 123
cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
rm *

(this will remove any WIFI-settings) Now your radio is "brand new" (with regards to WIFI). Next try connecting to your home network. Keep in mind those issues listed above.

Coils and Masts (Short #73)

Post author By admin
Post date July 10, 2025

@bradswarren is wondering if a coil should be electrically insulated from a metal mast. Should it be grounded through the mast?
