The DE19 works great without any issues at all
The DE19 will allow the Xiegu G106 firmware version 1.4 (and other Xiegu radios of course) to run WSJT-X and JS8Call perfectly without issues for sure on both Windows 10 and Linux Mint. At first I struggled to get the G106 working in digital mode. But once I figured out how it all works it was a snap. You literally take the DE19 out of the box, plug it in with the 3 supplied cables, and you're done. You never need to touch it again. No drivers needed, it just works. For anyone having trouble getting digital mode to work on the G106: The "Mode" on the radio must be set to U-D. For "RIG" in the radio settings of WSJT-X, using ICOM 7100 works without issues using "CAT" for PTT method. For me the tricky part was understanding what exactly the audio settings in the computer do, which are absolutely critical to get FT8, etc. to work properly. If the audio output in the computer settings is not set high enough, the radio transmitter output will be low or even zero. So the red "transmit" light will come on, CAT control and everything will appear perfectly normal, but you will have nothing (or something less than the full 5 watts) going to the antenna. If that's the case you have to search for and find the Audio Out adjustment slider in the computer and adjust it higher until you see 5 watts being sent to the antenna. On the G106 it's a big help to have a watt meter in line with the antenna to get it adjusted perfectly. This is important because if you set the Audio Out too high, then that will over-drive the transmitter. I have seen my G106 put out over 8 watts by having the Audio Out on the computer set too high, which doesn't sound healthy for the radio. The other critical adjustment in on the WSJT-X software itself. This is the "PWR" vertical slider adjustment on the far right side of the WSJT-X main screen. What this does, at least on mine, is adjust the power output of the G106 the exact same way as the Audio Out does on the computer. Again you need a watt meter to adjust this perfectly. I assume this adjustment is a percentage of the Audio Out value in the computer. Just play around with both of them to get the actual transmitter power right. Using a combination of these two slider adjustments I can vary the power output of my G106 to anywhere between zero and a little over 8 watts. At first I tried to use FLRig but had to give up on it, I just could not get either WSJT-X or JS8Call to work with it. But I found it is totally unnecessary. Just use Icom 7100 for Rig in each. All this to say the DE19 works great, requires no driver software, and is all the extra hardware you need to get FT8 and JS8Call to work. I hope this helps anyone struggling to get the G106 to work in digital mode. I wish I knew this when I first got started. I'm very happy with my G106/DE19 setup for digital modes. ... show more

Great adapter for ft8 transmissions !
Plug and play! 5 min and you can receive/transmit ft8! The best adapter I ever purchased!

One connection to your computer...
So this box is designed specifically to connect a xiegu g90 to a computer so that you can do digital ham radio. It works perfectly. You connect it to the back accessory connector and the ci-v plug on the side of the radio. The de-19 lets you plug one usb plug into your computer. Three devices are surfaced, a "microphone" where you get audio from the radio, a speaker (where you send the audio from your digital programs to the radio) and a serial connection for cat control. Hint: you might not be able to use the radio in G90 mode. There is a timing issue. But telling, for example, wsjt-x that you have an icom 7100, everything works. But you don't need to connect your computer's sound card to anything, you don't need a separate cable for cat control. All the cables you need are included. The downside is that this gadget will only work on xiegu radios. The upside is that it works perfectly. No fiddling. Plug it in. Do your device setup. Select the right sound card, the serial port for cat control, the radio type. And you are up on FT8. ... show more

Don't expect any extra features. It does what it is designed for.
The G106 is exactly what it is intended to be. A very basic, but reliable HF QRP transceiver. I tend to waste no time putting radios to the test, and this one has passed. For a minute I thought it had a problem with low Tx power, after further investigation I found that I actually had not one but two faulty pieces of test equipment. The radio was fine. I do have to mention that Radioddity provided excellent support while I was diagnosing the issue. Bottom line is it's a good solid product that is priced appropriately for what it does. ... show more

Easy FT8
I was able to get my G90 sending and receiving FT8 very quickly using the DE-19. It’s about as close to plug-and-play as anything in ham radio… which means it’s harder than using an iPhone, but much easier than, say, programming a Baofeng HT (or a VCR, if you ever attempted that). Maybe there are still cheaper ways to make this happen, but you’ll be stringing together various devices and adapters where the DE-19 comes complete with all the hardware you need. Older modes like RTTY are tougher to get going, but that’s due to the clumsiness of FLRig / FLDigi compared to WSJT-X. I’d definitely recommend getting FT8 going before you move on to other modulation protocols. Nice surprise: my young daughter actually gets a kick out of “helping” with FT8, though I think she’d rather scrape paint than watch me work SSB. Something about the periodicity of it, and the XMIT light clicking on… then you start looking up callsigns on QRZ. You never know what’s going to resonate with a preschooler. ... show more

Works Great
Works very well. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the shell is fairly thin plastic. My G90 seems to be built like a tank, which is what I prefer for packing it etc.

Great price. Great performance.
Setup was easy. Function was excellent. Got on ft8 in 10 minutes. Took longer to configure the software than to hook it up. I like that I only need 1 usb port instead of 2 like other interfaces. Best bang for the buck for my G90 as all the necessary cables are included. Other brands you have to purchase the cables separately. ... show more

It works but cheap cables.
It does work and it's the easiest way to setup your (in my case) G90 and XPA125B to work digital modes at ~100W. The CE-19 it comes with is a joke and the digirig works but you can't use it with an amp. The biggest problem this has is the cables which aren't choked or shielded. A couple ferrite beads later and I was in business though. Also verified it works well using the digirig cables that come with beads and shielding. Settings are 19200, N,8,2 (stop bits may or may not matter but I needed it to make the cat work reliably and not A/B switch all the time) a long with rts low (very important to manually set). If you are using rigctld make sure to add -C rts_state=OFF,stop_bits=2 to your command. This thing also packs nicely because it's the same foot print as a raspberry pi so it stays in the same place in my foam cutout as my rpi. If you do not plan on using the amp then save some $$$. You can use the USB cable that comes with the G90 for cat control and get a simple TRRS -> din cable for the audio. Search for "FT8 Audio ACC Interface 8-Pin Mini DIN DATA Cable XIEGU G90 X5105 HF Transceiver" and it was about $16 on eBay. I set that up with a laptop using its internal sound card and I have far fewer issues than I did using the DE-19 or the digirig. Note that I did need ferrites on the USB cable (one at each end). I went ahead and tossed some on the audio cable too. ... show more
