## Description

desertcart.com: Xiegu G106 SDR HF Transceiver, 5W QRP Radio, SSB CW AM WFM, Support FT8 : Electronics

Review: Works perfectly with FT8 and JS8Call - If you don't have a HF transceiver and are looking to get into digital modes I think the G106 is a good and inexpensive way to start. I've read online that a lot of people have struggled to get the G106 to work in digital mode. That was my experience also until I finally figured out all the necessary settings. On 40 meters at night I am now able to receive and decode stations all over Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia, and PSK reporter shows my transmissions are being received there as well. This with a 5 watt QRP transmitter! It's amazing. I bought the G106 and DE19 from desertcart a year and a half ago. I bought them solely to use with FT8 and especially JS8Call. Even though I bought them a year and a half ago, I only just got around to putting up an antenna. I really struggled to get FT8 and JS8 working. I tried Linux, Mac and Windows 10 and just could not get CAT control to work getting all kinds of Hamlib errors. Then I updated the G106 firmware from 1.3 to 1.4. After I did that, FT8 and JS8 magically started working in Windows 10 using the Icom 7100 as the rig. I don’t know for sure if it was the updating of firmware or maybe I just finally got lucky and got all the WSJT-X software settings plus Windows 10 audio settings correct. It was working beautifully. Then all of a sudden the transmitter stopped working. I was still able to receive fine, but zero transmit power was coming out. I had let WSPR run all night and it was the next morning that the transmitter suddenly quit. I thought I had burned up a component inside, maybe having exceeded the transmit duty cycle. I took the G106 apart and visually inspected the circuit boards but there was zero sign of any damage. As a result of the tear-down, it was very obvious the high build-quality of this transceiver. I was not expecting that high of quality from something so inexpensive. This was not the sub-par, crude Chinese stuff I’ve seen in the past. This was easily equal to high quality Japanese equipment. Very surprising. Finding nothing obviously wrong I was quite disappointed. Out of desperation I contacted Radioddity customer service not really expecting much but to my surprise I got a very personal response the next day from what sounded like someone from their engineering staff with a bunch of possible reasons for the problem and a bunch of suggestions and instructions on what to try next. I had given them the purchase date which was over a year ago, nevertheless he even asked me to send him my desertcart order number so he could check if it might still be covered under warranty. As a result of his help, I found the problem. It ended up being an incorrect audio setting in Windows 10! There was absolutely nothing wrong with the radio at all. I have no idea how the setting got changed but I am VERY happy it’s now working perfectly again. However, after taking the G106 apart and seeing the quality, and before I received the help from Radioddity, thinking the G106 was irreparable, I ordered a G90. I only originally bought the G106 to get me by until I could find a good deal on a used Yaseu or Icom but now I don’t see the point. I'm convinced Xiegu is a great product at a good price and Radioddity obviously stands behind it and offers outstanding customer service, so that’s all I can ask for. I can’t wait to get the G90, but in the mean time, I’ll be on 40 meters every night with my little G106 having a blast with FT8 and JS8Call.
Review: POTA, SOTA, recliner, this will do it... - A compact SDR transceiver that works well. Been reading and watching videos on the G106 and G90. I couldn't make up my mind so I bought both! Takes care of that... The 106 is compact, well built and just works. Not a load of bells and whistles but works well for CW and QRP SSB. Was on 40m earlier with a fella with both the 106 and 90 - how about that! Been wanting to downsize and these Xiegu units are fitting for what I was looking for. Ran both on a 40m dipole and for the 106 matched it with the Z-Tuner for other bands. Both exceed my expectations. My only wish on the 106 is the jack for headset/earbuds is on the mic., should have a dedicated jack on the unit. Weird! Winter is coming so both units will get a bit of airtime. Makes a nice unit for POTA/SOTA, or backyard patio table - recliner works for me... 73 or 72 for QRP/QRPp Add (11/16/2025): Been using this mostly CW (Putikeeg magnetic straight key) and have also received good reports on SSB QRP. In addition to using the Z-Match tuner I also added the ATU-100 tuner (with internal battery). When using the ATU-100, I set the G106 right on top of it also (the ATU-100 is larger/longer than the G-106. Match this up with the JPC-12 antenna and you have a portable kit that's easy to deploy which will make a nice POTA kit etc. On the mic I added an adapter to the headphone/earbud jack and I keep this piece plugged in all the time so if plugging something into it, it makes it much easier. Sometimes I plug in a APTx LL Bluetooth unit and use Bluetooth LL neck band earbuds - this works well for me, frees up having another cord. So, providing an update, I have had no issues with the G106 (or G90) so far. This little unit has been working well. Seems well built and never a glitch so far. Very happy with this QRP unit at the price point.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it decode cw?**
A: No, but with DE-19 interface you might find software to help 73

**Q: How do I get this thing on digital modes with the DE-19?**
A: DE-19 comes with plug to radio CAT/Data port and a wire USB to the PC. No issues to connect once you've downloaded the driver software

**Q: Is a computer required for operation?**
A: If you are going to use the G106 for operating in Data Modes (FT8, FT4, PSK31, etc), then you would need to use a computer with WSJTX, FLDIGI, or some other software for data mode operation. The Xiegu DE-19 interface is also used to link the G106 with a computer for data mode use. SSB and CW mode operation does not require a computer.

**Q: Poor receive. i set it up on a non resonate antenna. 50ft long wire just to hear what out there. can't even hear wwv on any of the bands.**
A: Not sure why no success. 
I have great receive .. even though no DSP.
Are you on LSB or USB mode? Did you accidentally turn on the speaker mic?
I use 34 ft wire into 9:1 balun which is resonant on most common bands and can easily receive/TX USB on 15, 17, 20 meters. I mostly do FT8 on 14074 but have done some phone. Note: the mic gain not adjustable and is set too high -- so hold mic away from lips and speak softly. GL 74

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent budget QRP radio
*by T***L on April 20, 2025*

This radio is fantastic for what it is. Keep in mind it is a budget QRP radio. It has the standard functions one would need for POTA activations and does FT8 well. The unit has a good build quality and has a low power draw which makes it ideal for extended battery use. The speaker is ok and using a deflector helps greatly. The small form factor makes it ideal for a field pack and quick activation. Remember, this is a budget unit. Don't compare it to its larger offerings.
