Xiegu G106 Ham Radio Review – “It’s Just OK”

Post author By admin
Post date September 8, 2022

The G106 seems like a radio that is just about worth what they are charging for it. When considering the cost of HF radios today, the G106 isn’t exensive and doesn’t provide a ton of features. It just works OK.

You can find the G106 here. If you are thinking about the G106, please consider the DE19 audio interface, which is actually pretty cool (this is an affiliate link): http://radioddity.refr.cc/hoshnasi

Ashhar Farhan introduced me to the sBitx at Four Days In May this year, I was intrigued. A fully functioning Raspberry Pi controlled 40 watt HF radio for $500 ($300 in kit form) sounds like it could be a winner for many new hams! Lets Build It!
