One opservation I have seen is that when listen on DMR with RAS enabled then DJ-X100 receive it fine but it will not display the Color Code.
It only show the active Slot. Also to show Color code there has to be activity on the radio before show the Color code.
Any one know if there is a hidden option for this to show.

So it sounds like someone has finally managed to build a new handheld that performs worse than the AOR DV10 AND is more expensive. Wow, that really is some achievement, one that I didn't think was possible.

I will not say that this radio receiver is worse than AOR DV10 and more expensive. I also have this AOR DV10 and this is not a better radio I think.
The only reseon I have this radio AOR DV10 is to receive Tetra.
The pontentiol in this new Alinco radio is absolutely outstanding. As I say the menu is so easy to navigate even when it only is in Japanese.
Both Uniden and Whistler and AOR could learn lot from this.

And I can se that even if it can not receive tetra frequency then it has a very sensitive receiver that outperfomance most scanner I have seen.
Uniden says it can scan 100 channel/s. I never seen a Uniden scanner do this. But this Alinco do it.
I can see this when try to recieve tetra channel and it is way better than seen on other scanners special AOR DV10.
Some one has done a comparison from DJ-X11 to this unit and it show a lot of improment except on AM.
Se this link:

In the same link there is mention something of secret code to enable more. But I have not any success with enable this.
If any one have any success for this, then please share.
It state some codes for this:
230502
230506
Not sure how to enter this.

Pro vs AOR DV10.
1) Much better battery life.
2) Do not drain battery when not in use.
3) Menu navigate
4) Way smaller
5) Charge via USB-C
6) Way better display. (AOR is almost impossible to read)
7) Super fine S-meter
etc...

I have also now manage to extend the reciever with secret code. Can any one explain what speed POCSAG mode support.
It seems that it does not decode 2400 Baud POCSAG. I have not get it to work with 1200 to.
And where will the text decoeded be displayed. Is it in the text display ???.

But I have to know. Will the MESSAGE pop up automaticly when receive message or do I have to place it in MESSAGE mode ?
Yes I know I can se old Message in the Message Log but it is empty. I do now know it is not about baud rate 1200 or 2400.
I have try it on both system with 1200 and 2400. But where JM3LGF picture shows MESSAGE my stays in VFO.

ECB85. Yes I know about the programming sofware and have read a lot in that site.
I have manage to create my own version of the programming software in English.
And it work perfect and I have more than 400 channel programed in the radio receiver.

Messages automatically pop up but disappear, which later you can check in Message Log. You can set the time for messages to disappear in the Display setting. You can find some third-party message logger, memory editor and remote controlling programs in GitHub. Build software better, together

Thank you for link to software. But I do not know why POCSAG do not work. Maybe it only support 512 baud.
I have try to change Mesage Display time (メッセージ表示時間) . 10/20 second and Hold. But no different.
This is a screenhot of converted program. ENG_Program.pngENG_Version.png

PS: Have also mange to get AIS ・DJ-X100 Position Viewer to work.

What did you have to do to extend the receiver with secret code? Does removing the resistor enable those functions or is there a keypad sequence?

My radio was allready extent with resister removed when I received it. But the secret code add the following when enter the secret code combination.
1) Add a startup text 3 times with some text like this in Japanese.
A) I understand that leaking or using the existence og content of received communication is subject to criminal penalties under the Radio Law. You then have to select Yes.
B) I have no Intention of leaking or misappropriating the existence or content of communications when using the extension, and I pledge that I will never do such a thing. You then have to select Yes.
C) System pledges to use extensions only for legimate reasons and to the extent that they do not infringe the rights of third parties.
You then have to select Yes.
This was 3 times before to use the radio. And happend now every time radio is turn on.

2) In Digital mode you get T61(TYP2), T61(TYP3), T61(TYP4) and dPMR.

3) In Data mode you get POCSAG. I have not mange to get it to work. (Try 1200, 2400 Baud channel). Perhaps it only receive POCSAG with Japenese text.

4) Some decode of digital secret code. But it seems that it is only for Alincos Mode. Not seen it on other modes. But not sure.

please Where possible download english version dj-x100 tool ?
Since Alinco have stated that the receiver is not intended for sale outside Japan (I think, or at least not for “The West”) I would not be surprised if there is no English language version available.

I think people want to know if the program with the English menu shown above is downloadable or not. If not, they want to know how to convert the Japanese menu into English. That's my guess.
