Who it's for, and the catch

The X6200 is Xiegu's portable HF and 6 meter rig: RF direct sampling, 8 watts, a built-in automatic tuner, a 4-inch color screen and a replaceable 3200 mAh battery that Radioddity rates at 4 to 5 hours. It does SSB, CW, AM, NFM and digital modes, with broadcast FM and airband receive.

This is the one for POTA and SOTA people who want the tuner and battery inside the radio instead of hanging off it.

$100 off is decent but it's still $699 for an 8W radio. If you mostly operate from home, that money goes further on a used 100W rig. If you operate portable a lot, the internal tuner and battery are what you're paying for.
