platy:
ok. tell me.
you have switched DHCP off in the X6100?
what is your ip address you want to put in?
what’s the gateway
what are the dns entries and what prefix did you use?
The x6100 is just a linux system, with a default wifi stack. You also can just edit the config file inside
via a serial port (read: the usb cable).
DHCP - off
IP to put in -192.168.1.44
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
DNS 1 - 8.8.8.8
DNS 2 - 8.2.2.2
Prefix - 24
I read up on the internet posts were made last year about the difficulty getting routers to communicate with the X6100. Some had to use a separate router to do it. Nothing to do with WFview. Thanks for your help.
the setup of the X6100 does not even need a router. It only can make things worse.
If you have put in the values, save it and It will there be until the device catches fire or something.
(I assume two things here - that the ip address you have is static dhcp’d OR in a range that does not do dhcp AND not used elsewhere.
And the gw address indeed is .1
Don’t feel bad. It could just be one of the firmware bugs which X6100 users should learn to live with.
Tried just now what you suggested but it did not work. No CAT.
I chose Hamlib NET rigctl and set network server to X6100. Test CAT fails with IO error.
Yes, tried a dozen times and can not get X6100 to permanently delete my IP. It even repopulates my password that I erased (or thought I did). Going back to 1.6.
you can try to put in your networking setup in v1.1.6.
If you don’t want a DHCP resonse from whatever router you have, you just move out of the way of that source. A mesh network, while known to f* up sometimes a 705, is not your issue as I am pretty sure you hardly will receve a large list of AP’s anyways, let alone the mesh members.
And I further would like to direct you to the technical support of xiegu to get your issue fixed. (if it’s not in the xiegu manual that is, already).
I also assume you haven’t serially logged in the rig and find the config file, edit it?
Even if you just would edit it by hand…
the config is easy and in
[root@XIEGU-x6100:/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections]#
it looks like:
[connection]
id=
uuid=e2ccb022-0c28-4c2d-9a85-92b05ddaa4de
type=wifi
interface-name=wlan0
permissions=

but as said: go to xiegu with this problem. It’s definitely not wfview related.
With an Ethernet dongle, it works nicely without a packet loss and with a low latency.
I confirm the msg of W9TD regarding the spectrum controls which are unresponsive and the frequency range of the spectrum is fixed (displayed) to 11.5-16.5 MHz.
Not far away to have a nice remote control software for the X6100 
I use a LMP USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adapter.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the report.
Despite the spectrum claiming 11.5-16.5 MHz, what is the actual range, based on received signals? Is it following the display on the radio, and also centered at the frequency tuned?
Thanks,

Elliott,
With the info from Xiegu about dropping echo from CI-V in 1.17, I was able to use CAT commands through a little python program I wrote, as long as I didn’t flush the buffer from the expected echo. The responses are the same as was on 1.16. So things are still working the same as in 1.16 with that caveat, plus now the is wfview.

Good to know, thank you Gary.

Which dingle did you use?
And I will give the feedback to Xiegu so that things can be fixed there
Bonjour Elliot,
In Center mode, the spectrum follows the display on the radio centered at the frequency tuned. The span is fixed at +/- 2.5 MHz. Span pull-down has no influence on span width.
In Fixed mode, the spectrum displays the frequency selected on the radio +/- 2.5 MHz. if I try to change the Custom Edge, it always returns to freq_center - 2.5 MHz, freq_center + 2.5 MHz
If you change the FFT SPAN from the X6100, the spectrum display adjusts accordingly.
Cordialement,
Michel
