Icom radios are great but the firmware rarely gets updated. I've been making my own user interfaces by making software that talks to them but this morning I grabbed some amazing open firmware for my Xiegu X6200 from https://openx6x00.org
Amazing improvement over the stock Xiegu software. A great thing about this is it lives on a microSD card and if you remove the card the radio boots up as it was.
I joined the MRARC 80m net using the radio and got good reports running 10W when normally I run 100W. Just goes to show it's all about the antenna. Here's some bits of the net including another Xiegu station running a G1M that sounds excellent.
This video was made using the built-in screen recording feature. I then connected to the radio over it's built-in web server and downloaded the video files.
