Overview

A software-defined radio core inside the Xiegu transceiver covers every HF amateur band and receives the whole HF range. A computer link opens digital modes, and a CAT port lets software control the rig.

Its small size and SDR design make it a natural fit for portable and park operating. The bullets give no power figure, and opening the case voids the warranty.

Who it's for

Amateur operators who run low power from parks, campsites or a small shack. CB users are not served by an amateur transceiver.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Covers all HF ham bands
  • General HF receive
  • Digital modes with a computer
  • Small and light
Cons
  • Power output only in title
  • Warranty void if case opened
  • Needs a separate antenna

Performance notes

The SDR processes signals in software, which gives flexible filtering and mode support. Low output relies on a good antenna and band conditions to make contacts.
