Xiegu has a new base-station-class rig on the way, and it looks like a big step up from their little portables. The G7250 is a direct-sampling SDR covering 0.5 to 30 MHz plus 50 to 54 MHz, with 100 watts on HF and 90 watts on 6 meters.
What grabbed me is the split design: a detachable control head with a 7-inch touchscreen, a spectrum scope and waterfall, and real knobs and buttons for those of us who like something to turn. It also packs a built-in automatic tuner that remembers each band, a voice recorder, preset CW messages, noise reduction and a network remote feature.
RigPix has the spec sheet, and Björn, SM0MDG, wrote up the announcement. Pricing wasn’t listed yet, so I’ll be watching for reviews.
