Xiegu G 106 on FT 8 Digital Mode

Author, Photographer, Music Critic, and the Chief Radio Operator at the ham radio station WA2ASQ, returns in a God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC ham radio video. This time, Mr. Paul John Hausleben details a new addition to the WA2ASQ radio shack: a new Xiegu G-106. In the video, Paul details his difficulties with hooking up the new radio for use on the digital FT-8 mode. Despite knowing the WSJT-X software quite well, Paul had no success until he tried an alternate software, and then, he was on-the-air successfully. In the video, Paul explains the hookup and the details of a radio adventure with the G-106 radio. He also offers his opinions of the performance and some likes and dislikes of the rig. Paul details how he makes contacts despite being in an apartment and using QRP power and a rain gutter and downspout antenna! This video is an inspiration to all QRP operators and those radio amateurs who cannot erect large antennas or even outside antennas and still get on the air and have fun and enjoy this amazing hobby! Plug in, tune in, and let the radio adventures begin! 73.
