    Yeah me too. Those external band additions seem like they could add onto the cost as well. I wonder how they will execute that.

    I wonder if they have overcome the charging quirks and overheating issues.

    I hope so. Not being able to charge and use a full 10W at the same time is a strange issue. I've added a heat sink to the back of mine and it seemed to help out.

    I seen the RTTY capability and the CW modem built in, along with the battery pack. That made me happy. Also glad it has a satble TCXO....just wonder how stable it will be before warm up

    Sure glad I saw your post here. I came so close to buying a X6100 when I came across this post doing a google search to see who had the best price. Now I will kick back and wait.

    Unfortunately the groups.io is both closed and doesn't want any lurkers. However, they do have a public notice in their description:
    Update February 5th, 2024:
    Xiegu is planning a first trial production run for March 2024. If all goes well, real production will start shortly thereafter. If major corrections are required, the real production run will be delayed accordingly. Radioddity is planning to sell the X6200 starting with the real production batch.

    So things are getting somewhere at least.

    Still vaporware at this point. I wonder who the beta testers are - other than the folks that buy the first production run...

    I like the overall layout and ergonomics of the old G90 better, although it doesn't cover six meters.

    I've had a G90 for three years now and continue to be amazed at not just how well it works but also how easy it is to use with PUI via the front panel or the microphone. If they'd just add 6m and 2m to that, I'd buy another one.
