Hello Operators.
Today we are taking a look at the Xiegu x5105 portable qrp ham radio station in a box. The Xiegu x5105 is a lightweight, HF/6M, portable QRP radio every serious field radio operator would enjoy as their primary or backup radio, for ham radio communications off grid.. Some portable HF operators say it is an interesting alternative to the Elecraft kx2, or Yaesu FT-818.

The Xiegu x5105 has built in charger, backlit keys, daylight readable display, internal antenna tuner, can decode several ham radio data modes, and has an internal 3800mah battery which can be charged in the field, without removing the battery from the enclosure.

This portable HF radio might be the best qrp option for the off grid ham radio operator looking for a self contained, easy to deploy option for extended field communications.

This video stays true to the OH8STN Ham radio viewer, by focusing on the design and features valuable to the off grid and utilitarian ham radio operator, operating far off the beaten path. Battery power. antenna tuner, off grid charging, internal battery. digital modes, versus elecraft kx2, versus elecraft kx3, versus ft-818, ...
