Note & Tips

Note1: Blank for all XIEGU radios

Note2: Some command need higher version of FW, make sure FW is up to date

Note3: G90/G106C responds 2 bytes of data, D0=data mode switch, D1 always 0

Note4: Command 0x1C (1 byte, get T/RX status)

radio respond 1 byte data, 0=RX status, others=TX status

G90 (FW<=1.79b03) does not support this 1 byte command!!

Command 0x1C 0x00 0x00/0x01 (3 bytes, set T/RX)

radio respond ACK (not the T/RX status!)

Command 0x1C 0x00 (2 bytes, get T/RX status)

radio respond the T/RX status

Data mode & Filter Group Tips

Use command 0x26 to turn ON/OFF data mode

Example: Set selected VFO to LSB, Digital mode, filter1
