Xiegu G90
ThaDood:
In RX stand-by, more than luke warm. That doesn't surprise me, since you have CPU's crunching to produce that spectrum scope / waterfall display. So far, the only long key-up time that I've had with it is the 10M local chit-chat here. It got more than luke warm, but not hot. Then again, I wasn't running full-bore 20W, except for a quick test from 1W - 20W when a friend asked to do so, for his curiosity. I've yet to do QSO's on AM and FM modes, but I suspect that would heat it up there. One way to reduce heat is to reduce the display brightness from 100%, (Which appeared to be default.), down to less than 50%. I took mine down to 25% and that's still bright enough for indoor viewing, and doesn't light-up the whole room at night. BTW, I've only had my Xiegu G90 for less than a month, used in 68 - 70 degrees F. My guess would be, if I was using this outside on Summer Time Field Day, in 80 / 90 degree weather, then a fan kit would be a must. Hmmmmmmmmm... This might be a nice hand warmer for the Winter Field Day. (Hi-hi...)

For full power digital use the fan thingy is a good idea. The rig's designed to take heat and the pa is way underrated with respect to power out, but cool usually means longer life. The fan thingy also makes for a fine rig holder.
Been hearing from some that for fm use the best tx audio is produced when the mic gains set to 5 or so, stock is 10 wich is kinda hot.

After a fairly hair-raising experience involving a lost shipment from November, Xiegu and Radioddity stepped up and sent another X6100 which was received today. Initial impression is good. Since reviews seem mixed so far, I'll check it out and report when I know more.

Has anyone tried PSK31 with the G90? I've heard there are a few things that need to be done differently than a standard HF rig.
