Who it's for, and the catch
The G106 is a 5W SDR transceiver that covers the HF ham bands from 3.5 to 29.7 MHz, with SSB, CW and AM, plus broadcast FM receive. The box has the radio, a speaker-mic, a power cable and a programming/CAT cable.
It's a cheap way to get on HF for a new General or a POTA activator who wants something small. CW and FT8 are where 5 watts makes the most sense.
Two catches. There's no internal tuner, and Radioddity says wide-band antennas need an external ATU, so plan on a resonant antenna or a tuner. FT8 needs the Xiegu DE-19 interface, which is $69.99 on the same page.
