Very happy
I got my g90 at the start of June I got to test it out at our club station on a off center fed dipole and it worked just fine using full power I got into to a few 20 water nets and made some pota contacts I would recommend doing business with dx Canada 73 VE6 DCV

Best bang for buck
I’ve always been intrigued by this radio and the huge following it has. Decided to buy it since operating QRP on 10 watts just isn’t enough sometimes in my location. I think 20 watts is just perfect , no external tuner required and a nice SWR sweep included. The people at dx Canada answered honestly all the questions I had . I’ve sent my friend their way and he bought a 6200 . Cheers !! VACLJC

G90 HF radio.
I am new To HF It probably won’t be until the spring when I set up an antenna. If life in a flat but have a ham stick 20 meter antenna given to me my a member of my club in St. Marys. On the surface and judging by other reviews I get the impression that this a good radio. I was more than satisfied with DX Canada. That radio is perfect for me and even if I am limited somewhat living in a flat. You can do a lot with 20 watts.

XIEGU G90
I couldn't have been more pleased with the Xeigu G90 which I purchased with the intent of getting back into HAM radio and setting up a QRP rig. Initially, I found myself weighing the option of purchasing an ICOM 718, a great base station in its own right. However, the benefits of an SDR tipped my decision in favor of the G90. The build quality is excellent and is almost entirely of metal. The knobs and controls are multi function and are constructed of a high quality rubber or plastic with a quality tactile feel to them. The display includes both a spectrum and a waterfall display which are very readable albeit quite small. That said, the overall weight and footprint make it ideal as a mobile base station. Among the other incentives that steered me towards this unit was the high quality on board antenna tuner which was very easy to use. In my limited time operating the G90, I found the tuner to be spot on and an absolute delight to use, making it one of the highlights of the G90. Despite the small form factor of the unit, the speaker is quite loud, once again, making it great for working in the field. The G90 can be used in digital mode but as it does not include an on board sound card, it would require an external interface such as the DE19. The one minor drawback to setting up digital modes using the DE19 interface is that one has to construct a "Y" audio cable, which in my opinion, should have been included with the DE19. I am hoping that they will consider including this in the future. Overall my experience with this unit and DXCANADA has thus far been very favorable, such that I decided to purchase the accompanying XPA125B 100 Watt Amp.
