## Description

From the manufacturer Certification ES190111035E, by FCC authority, 2019 NIMU-CE2292Y5030EL, by CE authority, 2019 Note FM mode can only be turned on when the GSOC controller is used together. It's normal that G90 overheats if used for a long time. If running a radio with a voltage lower than 13.8V, it is unable to provide enough power.

Review: Great Value G90...Must Buy! - Everybody knows that the Xiegu G90 is a great radio. The truth is this is second one time I bought one. The first time I returned it (got a Yaseu FT710 instead) because I could not get it to work for me as first rig for HF (having got back into the hobby late last year). I think the problem was actually my poor set-up of the antenna (an End Fed Long Wire for 10-80m). I decided to go back to the G90 as I wanted something relatively inexpensive to use for portable use (Parks On The Air etc.). I tested it at home first with my DX Commander antenna to good effect but it came into it's own activating a couple of parks running of a LiPO4 battery 30Ah and an inverted V dipole for 40m. Immediately, I am working Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Ireland aswell as inter-G on just 20W. The tuning is great with an internal antenna tuner if needed and the sound quality is fantastic.
Review: Good, but don't buy "used like new" - This is a crackin' little HF rig. Have had multiple 10,000km QSO's from England to Brazil. The first G90 I got was from from desertcart Warehouse and advertised as "used, like new" but was actually an old model with a destroyed power-amp but unused accessories and a serial number way different to the one on the box. Someone obviously killed it, bought a new one and returned the dead one - not sure if it was Radioddity or desertcart that shipped it out again without checking it. desertcart made it right, though, and I'm very happy with the radio. The G90 is quite versatile. The front panel can be removed and extended away from the actual radio with a supplied cable, great for getting space between RF stages and your PC for data modes. There are ports for a key (traditional or paddles), an external waterfall display (or PC running SDR software), and CAT control. A DIN port on the back exposes PTT (output only), and audio in/out specificaly for data modes with their own gain and volume settings. Firmware can be updated by the user, too, using a cable that comes with the radio. The default display shows you all the usual mode and frequency information plus a waterfall which is great for finding active stations, as well as an S-meter and dBm value, and on transmit you get to see power, modulation and SWR as well as your outgoing waterfall. The built in antenna tuning tools ... there's a SWR sweep option, which draws a little graph of F vs SWR, and the famous antenna tuner/matching unit. I've not had it take more than half a second to match up my antennas but apparently it will try quite hard to match anything - just look on youtube for "G90 antenna". Based on my experience of getting a dead rig the first time I will add - Although it's called an automatic antenna tuner, you have to trigger the tuning! The rig remembers the settings for each frequency it sees, but doesn't tune unless you tell it to. I haven't done it, but the transmit frequency limits can be removed without breaking the warranty seal. If you're after a first or portable HF rig - this is a good one.

## Features

- Detachable Display Unit - The display unit and the radio body can be separated. This allows you to place the head remotely.
- Wide Range Auto Antenna Tuner - Unlike other QRP radios, the G90 has a wide-range internal automatic antenna tuner so you can load up your favorite field antenna! The G90 also comes with a built-in mediumwave (AM broadcast) high-pass filter.
- Beautiful Color LCD Screen - All vital operating information is clearly visible in daylight conditions. 48KHZ wide spectrum display with waterfall gives you excellent awareness of the signal conditions around you.
- Easy to Use - You can use the Quick Mode button to turn on or off various functions. Instead of setting up different functions in the menu, you can directly adjust them by pressing corresponding function keys.
- We provide a 18 months warranty on Xiegu G90. As usual, if you modify the radio's hardware, the warranty is void. [Latest Firmware Version] - Firmware V1.8 is available on Radioddity official.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly smaller looking in real life but GREAT radio.
*by M***R on 18 July 2025*

Really nice radio. Straight out the box, having seen loads of still and video images on line regarding the g90, it seemed....well, small! However, this faded away into insignificance as the screen is very clear and easy to read. You can connect to laptop via an external sound card and HDSDR which is my next project. Connected up to my vertical whip HF antenna in the garden, I was picking up central, southern Europe easily. I have yet Tx but I have used the antenna analyser and tuner. What a great bit of kit. It brought down an swr of 2.5 to a flat board in about 5 seconds. Fantastic. Transmit power in watts is controlled in 1w steps from 1 to 20. There's a lot of good things said about this radio and now owning it, I would agree. This is my entry level into the HF world and I think I've got a blindingly great bit of kit.
