Xiegu X5105 HF+6m QRP Transceiver

X5105 by XieGu Tech  is a portable HF and 6m QRP transceiver with a general coverage receiver, large LCD display, automatic antenna tuner and a built in high capacity battery making it the perfect portable companion.

The X5105 gives you a whole new portable experience with its large 3.6-inch dot matrix LCD display that makes all important information easy to read in both the daylight and in darkness. The built-in 3800 mAh battery can power the radio for up to 8 hours in reception mode – perfect for your outdoor activities.

The highly effective automatic antenna tuner lets you set up your portable station fast, even if the antenna is not perfectly tuned. The tuner stores tuning data at 100 kHz intervals, allowing instant retuning to already tuned frequencies.

The X5105‘s design and controls have been fine-tuned for use in the field. The front panel buttons are illuminated for backlit operation in the dark, and the VFO is optimized to be operated with the thumb without being sensitive to accidental retuning.

In addition to voice modes (LSB, USB, AM, and NFM), the X5105 can also operate in CW, storing short CW messages for one-touch transmission in the field. There is even a modem mode that lets you decode PSK31 directly on the screen.

The X5105 receiver is a dual-conversion superheterodyne with a digital baseband. A DAC samples the demodulated audio and feeds the high-speed DSP processor. Noise reduction, notch filtering, and transmit signal processing are handled by the high-speed DSP.

The local oscillator in the X5105 is based on a high performance DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer). This provides a pure signal with low phase noise and wide frequency range. The high-quality oscillator is the basis for the transceiver’s great performance.

The stable and reliable push-pull power amplifier circuit in X5105 delivers up to 5 watts of transmit power throughout the RF and 6-meter range.

X5105 features an IF output that is used in conjunction with the Xiegu XDT1 pan adapter for color display of the frequency spectrum.

Housed in a rugged enclosure, the X5105 is compact and lightweight. It measures only 160 x 100 x 46 mm and weighs 0.94 kg including battery.

Zeus ZS-1 HF USB SDR Transceiver

Since SSB-Electronic introduced the first compact digital receiver, the “Perseus”, a few years ago, time has not stopped. The integration of the PC or notebook into the hobby has prompted the demand for something more.

With this premise the Zeus ZS-1 was born.

After software-defined receivers have been the state of the art for several years, the ZS-1 now opens up all the possibilities of “direct sampling” known from the SDR on the transmission side. You see what you send and hear …

ZEUS ZS-1 HF USB Transceiver

The new Zeus ZS-1 is a new direct sampling SDR transceiver capable of covering all classic HF bands in transmission, including the WARC bands, with an adjustable output power of 15 watts.

In reception Zeus ZS-1 covers frequencies from 300 kHz up to 30 MHz. The high quality design and high quality bandpass filters ensure that transmission signals are absolutely free of unwanted harmonics.

A broadband spectrum display and a cascading display displayed simultaneously inform the user about activity within a given band. Zeus ZS-1 is equipped with selectable AGC, automatic notch filter and continuous variable filters for CW / SSB / AM.

Zeus ZS-1 can be easily connected to the PC via a standard USB 2.0 cable.

An integrated interface allows operation via an IP address Zeus operating software written specifically for the ZS-1, offers access to a wide range of functions including a large Tx EQ, a compressor, an integrated CW keyer that includes recored messages.

In addition to the choice between key and paddle, the CW generation can be even selected via the keyboard.

Zeus ZS-1 can be used in combination with many amateur radio programs like Ham Radio Deluxe, SDR.com and others.

A dozen good reasons to buy a ZS-1:

  1. best software defined transceiver in ARRL test
  2. particularly pure output signal through predistortion
  3. divisible interface (operation / spectrum), dual monitor suitable, very practical in combination with decoder software
  4. additional window for audio signal
  5. intuitive GUI with practical user guidance: left mouse button = function, right mouse button = configuration
  6. 1-button solution for switching all parameters between SSB operation and digital modes
  7. storable standard texts for CW operation
  8. easy integration of external control units
  9. free software updates
  10. two display modes of the S-Meter: analog or digital display
  11. instructions and customer support in German and English
  12. Made in Germany: The only fully digital transceiver that is completely manufactured in Germany.
