x6100-wspr Github Repo: github.com/sst...
(You can download the files from the repo directly, clone the repo or download a zip file, here's what I did)
Click the Green "CODE" button, Select HTTP and copy the web address.
Login to your raspberry pi's command line/terminal and:
cd
git clone github.com/sst...
cd x6100-wspr
scp * root@(ip address of your x6100)
ssh root@(ip address of your x6100)
cd /
tar -xzf /root/x6100-local.tgz
(edit) /etc/profile and add (:/usr/local/bin) to the end of the path statement
(save and exit)
(verify /etc/resolv.conf has:
nameserver (some DNS server IP address)
in it, edit, save and exit if not)
export TZ='UTC'
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
cd
(edit) spotter-loop.py
(
uncomment frequency, call, grid
add your callsign
add your grid
save and exit
)
set your radio to your favorite WSPR frequency in USB mode
./spotter-loop.py
wait patiently for spots to appear

Where possible, all links are affiliate links, this youtube thing is an expensive endeavor and every little bit helps.
That is pretty awesome. The 6100 seems like a nice radio. Great detailed video. 73!
Thanks Rob! I'm a big fan of this radio.
Ok, I give in! I want one now, lol. Great work TOADS
This is the start of something big!
Some fun shortcuts. 1) tar has mandatory flags so you don't need to specify the "-". 2) If the extension specifies the format (like tar.gz or tgz), you can skip the z flag. The command becomes: tar xf file. You've made your life 2 characters more efficient! :)
I live for effeciency!
We're getting places!! Pretty dang exciting!
You gonna try it?
@@temporarilyoffline well I guess I have to now! Haven't messed with the wifi on it so I'll need to get that going, I wonder if my type c hub with an Ethernet port built in would work? Only one way to find out!
@@RicSpivey the type C hub won't work with the stock OS, it will be detected, but no drivers.
@@temporarilyoffline well poop. WiFi it is then
The 6100 has heaps of potential! Just need to follow your instructions and void the warranty. Lol
Nah, no warranty voiding for this "mod"
Can't wait until my x6100 gets here!
New Radio Day is Best Day!
/etc/resolv.conf is auto filled out when you use DHCP to fill to obtain the IP Address from your network. So generally, connecting to your WiFi network will net you a resolve.conf from your local network. Doesn't hurt to check it.
I think there is a bug in this radio's "front panel" IP config wizard. I can only get mine working manually from the command line.
Thanks
Welcome
Thinking about buying one of the x6100 after your review do you think some one with very computer skills (me) should get one? thanks 73 w8rlp
It's a fun radio, you can learn along with us on TOADs discord or you could just play radio with it.
Great update, any idea already how #6100 can get into TX on full freq spectrum and not only Ham bands?
Sure thing: github.com/TemporarilyOffline/X6100-TOADs/tree/main/firmware
@@temporarilyoffline I also saw a video from a german ham via Windows/putty
Very good! This radio is a great idea for hackers.
The latest version of spotter-loop.py is broken. Released on 13 April.
Saul is pretty active and will probably update it soon.
@@temporarilyoffline I opened an issue on the github page. There was some chatter about it on toads today.
Excellent, thanks
Try that on your Icom 705! :P Tnx Steve ... 73, KF6IF
I wish!
The idea of the x6100 is good but it has huge flaws. It generates noise signals all over the place. On 40 meter almost ever 1 to 5 k hz it has its own signals! I don't care what price above $50 it's just not worth it. There is no way xeigu will be able to fix it, if they had the ability they would have already. Something as serious as self generated signals right over the top of crowded ham bands.
Lots of room for improvement
you in are HUGELY exaggerating any problems the X6100 has, it's a perfectly usable, good in priced radio..you want it to perform like an Icom? Then pay TWICE the price and buy the Icom 🤷🙄🤦
