- By accident I managed to put up to 21.5V in my XIEGU X6100 radio! The radio instantly stopped working and was smoking. Thank God I was able to fix it! :) SPECIAL THANKS to the seller RADIODDITY www.radioddity.com/collection... and manufacturer the XIEGU Company!
Spare components replaced in the video:

5:25 looks like a chicken with a mohawk wearing sunglasses. Kinda cool. Glad you was able to fix this radio.
Lol 😅 yes or like a ghost
Young eyes & a steady hand. Well done!
What a rough moment when you realized the 1 and the 2 were swapped around on the display after you heard a "hisss-pop".
Good job with the repair!
Uauh...that was a really cool adventure! Very nice work. Congrats Paul!
GREAT job glad you got it working again
Excellent job! Thanks a lot for showing step by step Your repair.
I'm very lucky with my xiegu at 19v. After blackout It now work without problems. Great rtx!
Wow Paul your good at that stuff!! 👍👍👍
Well done Paul. If i need a maintenance i have a the right adress 😉. Really good Video.
Lol 😀
Fantastic job paul good work .
Awesome camera!
Not only an excellent repair video, but so refreshing to hear one admit their mistake (in this case, some voltage dyslexia; something I would do) and not assign blame elsewhere. Paul, you continue to be my You Tube video hero...thank you! 73! de WX0V
Thank you! I use 21V for my mini grinder and I forgot to switch it back to 12V. I felt smoke when connected PSU to my radio, was too late to save it lol 😃👍
@@OM0ET We must have been separated at birth; I very similar things. I call it "ready, FIRE!, aim..." 😃... 73! de WX0V
Very nice! I just burned my final transmiting with charger pluged. Very sad :(. Congrats for the repair
Have burned transistor on battery board. Now i know type of transistor. Immediately ordered. Hope fix it soon. Thank you very much! Nice and useful video. All the best! 73! DE UN6GN
I am very glad that this video helped you 😊
Good job! After the similar situation I dont trust stock protection from the manufacturers - even if it works, the pcb will burn. Try to put an additional non-simmetrical suppressor rated 15 V. Working great + gives the additional over polarity protection. Im using it in every my rig
Very interesting Paul,Im glad you managed to repair the x6100 as it is such a great radio…..it shows how careful we have to be when using power supply’s,Your heart must have been broken when it happened..lol😂 73 steve M7GWJ
Hi my friend Steve! Yes it is true! And it happened on my birthday lol 😆 At least I have two of them 👌 Now fully functional back again 😊👍
Impresive repair. Great video. I wish the manufacturers would incorporate a bridge rectifier and a crowbar and fuse on the input, think of the radios that would have saved.
One thing I do because its happened to me is never power a radio from a lab bench PSU. I have a dedicated 50amp PSU for that. The other thing is I reset the lab supply to 0 volts when I finish for the day and if I am working with the lab supply always set to the least amps that will work, start low then move up untill the cct just works. All these are easy for me to remember now as had some hard learnt lessons. Great video and excellent service from both dealer and factory.
Yes, since my last experience a
I will have to do the same lol 😃👍 Thanks for watching!
I’m impressed
I’ve worked multiple times on my Xiegu X108G. Which is really a slightly better compact uBitx
Was all the troubleshooting temperature comparisons, or did you also do some regular troubleshooting with signal traces and voltage measurements?
Also a comment….
In the good old days, fixing your radio was relatively simple but, if you weren’t careful, could kill your in an instant
That risk has gone, however, it’s not that simple anymore and repairing your radio now poses the real risk of slowly sending you mad !!! 😜
21:35 that's amazing.
XE2ZZ Saludos exelentes videos, 73s.
I'm very disappointed with my 6100. Mine won't transmit a signal on FT8. And now the receiver has gone dead completely. There is no signals, static, audio -- nothing.
I did the factory reset 4-5 times and it did nothing to help.
I'm thinking of sending it back to Radioddity and telling them just to keep it.
I'm wondering if they sent me a return radio when I bought it.
All of the settings were way off and It took me many hours to get it to function out of the box.
Absolutely send it back! If there was ever a clear justification for a warranty replacement, this is it. Radioddity will just send it back to Xiegu and send you a new one, costing them little to nothing.
It's kind of a disappointing radio on many levels, especially some of the software issues that I doubt will ever be fixed. I'm reasonably happy with mine, but only because it's a b-stock I bought VERY cheaply (about 1/2 price) from a dealer who happens to be my neighbor. At that price, I enjoy the radio...had I paid full tilt, I wouldn't be nearly as happy with the purchase!
excellent travail : la camera thermique est le signal tracer du 21 ème siècle
il faut avoir plusieurs rtx pour comparer
bon travail
si mon rtx 6100 est en panne je peux vous solliciter ? c'est le cas
bravo
What is the highest safest voltage the 6100 can handle without issues?
15V
@@OM0ET Thanks and awesome video. Cheers and 73.
So, no over voltage protection, eh?......
Al these modern radios. Only. Are disposable. Trash
I think your man proved the opposite
Hi, Paul I also have problem with Xiegu, lack of schematic is huge problem, my radio had fauld after 15V and using FT8, tried to contact local suppliers to manage repair, but the stated me that they're not providing any aftermarket repair, and even if they had warranty return they're sending it to China.
Very great job, Paul 💪💪 73 de IU8LSW
Nice.... btw do you have 2 x6100??? 73 qro HB9GUR
Hi my friend Philippe! 😀 Yes I have two X6100s. One at home and second at my work.
good job paul, congratulations. yo6nm
