The information listed below was found online and does not reflect what is included in the sale.  It is for reference use:

◆ Detachable Display Unit —— The display unit and the radio body can be separated. This allows you to place the head remotely. What's more, the radio is very compact.

◆ Wide Range Auto Antenna Tuner —— Unlike other QRP radios, the G90 has a wide-range internal automatic antenna tuner so you can load up your favorite field antenna!

◆ Beautiful Color LCD Screen —— All vital operating information is clearly visible in daylight conditions. 48KHZ wide spectrum display with waterfall gives you excellent awareness of the signal conditions around you.

◆ Easy to Use —— Intelligently designed, the most commonly used functions are on hardware buttons. Next you can use the Quick Menu function to access often-used functions.

◆ Firmware Updates——We do provide firmware updates to enhance the functions of the radio – at no cost. You can easily update the firmware yourself.

◆ Warranty Note —— We provide a 18-month warranty on the Xiegu G90 (was 12 months before September 14, 2022). As usual, if you modify the radio's hardware, the warranty is void. (The warranty is void right after you remove any part of the radio case without the agreement of our support team.) Note any firmware bugs or any other software-related issues are not under warranty.

 Disclaimer: No License is required to purchase this radio, nor to Monitor (listen) to the many Amateur (Ham) Radio frequencies. However, an FCC License is required to Transmit (Talk) on Amateur Radio Frequencies in the USA. Please visit http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/amateur/licensing to learn more.


The G90 is the first model of the new Xiegu G-series. It's a portable 20W HF 10-160 mtr. multimode transceiver. The G90 uses 24-bit digital architecture. It also includes an internal automatic antenna tuner. The G90 has excellent transmit and receive performance. It packs huge performance into a small portable package. 

The G90 has a removable display head that can be separated from the main body and connected via a DB-9 cable (provided with the radio). Both the radio's control head firmware and main body operating firmware can be user-updated using separate connectors on the head and body. The programming cable is provided.

FW Update Note
Please update the display unit first then the base. Also please note you must choose the 1k option in the file transfer menu. In the beginning, you have to press the space bar very quickly or it won't go into program mode.


Features

  • Up to 20W of RF power
  • High-performance RF front end giving superb selectivity
  • Modes provided are USB/LSB/CW/CWR/AM/NFM
  • 1.8-inch high brightness color TFT LCD screen
  • ±24k bandwidth fast-scan spectrum display with waterfall
  • Adjustable DSP band filters (CW mode can be as narrow as 50Hz) 
  • Detachable front panel/display head unit
  • Built-in CW Decoder

NOTE

  • FM mode is available.
  • It's normal that G90 overheats if used for a long time.
  • If you want to keep the power of G90 on 20W, the voltage must be in 13.8 V-15V. 
    If the voltage is 13.8V below, the power would not be guaranteed and the driving kinetic energy would not enough.

*Note:
1. The 80-meter or 3.5 MHz band is a band of radio frequencies allocated for amateur radio use, from 3.5 to 4.0 MHz in IARU Region 2 (consisting mostly of North and South America), and generally 3.5 to 3.8 or 3.9 MHz in Regions 1 and 3 (the rest of the world) respectively.
2. The 40-meter or 7-MHz band is an amateur radio frequency band, spanning 7.000-7.300 MHz in ITU Region 2, and 7.000-7.200 MHz in Regions 1 & 3.
