I was impressed with the earlier X6100 QRP transceiver, so I jumped at the opportunity to try out the 8 watt X6200 QRP tranceiver. Thanks to Techoman Electonics in Christchurch for the loan of the radio. https://techoman.co.nz/

My first thought on opening the box was the impressive construction quality. The radio did not dissapoint, meeting all of the stated specifications. Important improvements include a change from QSD archictecture to a driect digital sampling layout, and a clip-on battery pack rather than an internal battery.

The radio is not perfect, for example the CW and RTTY decoders don't work. I supplied a list of improvements to be included in future firmware upgrades to Xiegu via the dealer.
