Steve dives deeper than anyone! Great work, I'm looking forward to more.
More to come!
He’s Scuba Steve! Let’s dive deeper! -Robbie
Thanks for the very informative video.
So they reused X6100 internal & had a nerve to charge a lot more...
Removable battery
FM broadcasting & Airband RX
Working Bluetooth (?)
Fake Expansion slot
Receive only FT8
Reduced power
Are these enough to the added price?
I now know whether I would buy this or not.
The only feature left is the DDC/DUC... we'll see.
Your next project should be to create a qrp 10 meter transceiver from an Raspberry Pi
Its on the list - the Pi has a pin on the GPIO that can do radio TX... need an amplifier and a filter and BAM!
Great looking radio, tnx Man!
Yeah, I think its great!
Slick, thanks Steve
And so it begins... again!
I can’t wait to get my 6200
#metoo
Steve… awesome video that from your Linux background, you show quickly the hack ability of the radio. I’d rather watch a 8 minute video than a 30 minute video. 73 de KD6UYK (Tim).
I like the shorter ones also!
Why am I not surprised that you have already rooted this thing?
Well I already did all the heavy lifting on the x6100... Didn't take me weeks this time!
Nice Steve
Thanks LC!
Hi, thank you for the reviews that you are doing for us! I order allready from Radioddity since 1st day. Did you try route audio from $X6200's bluethooth to an external bluethooth speaker?
Not yet
Thanks
You're welcome!
Nice. Its ready for custom firmware now. :)
Yep. I'm imagining the STM32 side of the house (at least) has different code.
I am surprised that no one has cracked the code to find the password line and change it something more secure.
`passwd` at the command line and its changed... but you'd have to do it at every firmware update.
So Steve apart from the slightly different look and the better screen i we thinking this is using the same board as the 6100?
That's my guess without opening the radio up and seeing it eyes on, yeah. I'll tear it open soon enough.
I'm curious did you try to boot the R1CBU firmware flash ? See how far they went to make it look like a new radio rather than a X6100 with a better case and removable battery..
Not yet. It will most likely work because the things that changed are supposed to be "downstream" of what/where the R1CBU firmware does.
Tempted to sell my ic705 for that, looks good
It's fun to tinker with for sure.
Have you done any JS8Call or HF Vara with it yet?
I just got FT8 working, but band conditions haven't been good enough to make a video about it. So far it works pretty good from a "proof of concept tho"
How does /etc/apt/ sources look like? Can you install some de tools or you need to cross compile?
You can install some tools. When they have the first firmware release you'll be able to poke around with having to get a radio, it's just a Linux disk image. I would cross-compile just for speed.
Haven't seen anyone speak on it yet, but does the 6200 have bluetooth audio?
Its on the list of things to check!
So will the power be able to be brought up to 10 Watts I wonder?.
Stay tuned, its not as bad as you think!
I wouldn't recommend doing this, but I have to wonder what would happen if you did an apt update and apt dist-upgrade? It would probably be a bad thing if it worked.
Its not a debian based system, but I'd bet even that would break a lot of things.
I would like to know if my new Jeep wrangler radio can be hacked/Customized? would like to take out the SirusXM module and replace it with a Dual band dual watch with DMR radio+ APRS? The radios are were the rear view mirror is mounted you can see this by looking at the stereo antennas are mounted. The antennas are mounted on the windshield. would like to take out the AT&T 4G mesh as well. Note other vehicle manufactures have android devices basically a computer, controlling the stereo.
It looks like its possible, but I'm not a car-stereo guy.
Can you log in via serial Bluetooth or is the BT only audio still?
I still need to dig into Bluetooth. I'm hoping they watched my last video on Bluetooth.
Well of coarse we can hack it!!!!
Gonna be a cakewalk!
No surprises what about the expansion Slot ??
The cake is a lie. (There is no expansion slot, see czcams.com/video/qSYbqz77u4U/video.html)
Still waiting to see what the expansion slot brings. Maybe someone should pop it open to see what potential it has. 🤔
What expansion slot? (There isn't one, just a cover)
@@temporarilyoffline you burst my bubble. There is nothing behind the cover? Oh, well.
@@LeeMcc_KI5YPR I was pretty disappointed as well. I was looking for V/U transverter!
@@temporarilyoffline Is that because what you have is a prototype? Radioddity X6200 page says "It has two external expansion component slots for additional applications and peripherals."
@@crazycats100 I now have a production unit and it's still a blocked port. I need to do a tear down and take a look inside to be perfectly sure, but if it is, it would "void" the warranty if add something... Maybe they mean the USB ports?
Did you get the Icom 7100 working?
Not yet, been busy with this thing.
Nice. The saga continues. 73 de Bill
It took a tiny step forward, but necessary
Hi, can the device be unlocked to go beyond 136MHz...?
Even with a "Full TX" mod, it won't PTT above 6m band. It's going to need additional hardware to go beyond 136Mhz TX (external transverter would work) and then also it will need a firmware update to allow TX above 6m.
Hi TO is there an improvement besides the removable battery that would make it a good upgrade from a x6100? I don't see it yet...
This is a DDC/DUC radio core and I need to find a meaningful way to demonstrate that. Its the next evolution of SDR, right behind adaptive pre-distortion.
@@temporarilyoffline maybe food for a new video. I think a lot of people are still wondering about the real benefit of the x6200 over the x6100.
Remember when Amateur radio was just radios?
Before my time! I've got a data modem for my commodore 64.
And when spark gap ruled.
@@temporarilyoffline C64 = Best computer ever made. :-)
9:08 minutes... It was either easy or you are a quick quitter...
and I know you're no quitter...
It was easy... nothing new, just getting the word out so people can start!
Thanks!
@@temporarilyoffline yeah, I watched after my comment LOL
Keep up the good work.
@@temporarilyoffline I have the 6100 and so far don't see a need for the 6200 because I'm more into phone more than other modes.
Hmmmm
Exactly!
Can that root password be changed?
Sure can
Hmm, I suppose you could connect a MMDVM via USB. Maybe also run Droidstar???
Oh yeah!
AWESOME video! I LOVE IT when you talk technical! 😊 73, across the band!
