New Alinco DJ-X100 wideband receiver

[mule1075]

I see another radio manufacturer did not include P25, just like Icom and Uniden on there latest radios released. Wide band would still be nice like the older radios but it’s not happening. Have a feeling what we see coming out from big players is all we will get. Hope I’m wrong. Hoping icon comes out with a R30 replacement but not holding my breath waiting. Almost better to get a ham radio with wide coverage.

We know you love the R30 you say it all The time. Can you point to a ham radio with wide band coverage that does all modes?

Unfortunately, the days of all modes in all frequencies is gone. My Yaesu VX7R has .1 to1200 Mhz as allot of other ham radios have. About all we can get. Never owned a Alinco before. Will keep an eye out for personal reviews. IF Icom would have included the waterfall for the R15. may have bought one. Not sure why Icom left it out since its in the 52a. Anyone know if this one has a waterfall display? Would have kept my 52a but Icom neutered it by removing certain modes in certain frequencies.

It does not have a waterfall display. But there are a couple of interesting outputs that can be used for 3rd parry software.

Thats a shame with no waterfall display.

New firmware for DJ-X100 on Alinco Japan Homepage ワイドバンドレシーバー｜ダウンロード｜電子事業部｜製品情報｜ALINCO - アルインコ
Use Google Translate for update instructions. Depending on your version you have to do two updates (A and B) in a row.
Language is still Japanese, expansion codes will work as before the update. I am coming from Ver 1.02, MCU 3.00-001, DSP 1.04., Result below.

If anyone finds a source or link for the english language version as planned for DJ-X100 E/T please share. 73, Thomas DL3YEB

Codeplugs created with Editor 1.0 are faulty in the digital modes after the firmware update to MCU 4.00 because NXDN has been added. As a result, stored D-Star and C4FM channels appear in the wrong digital mode. Can be solved by using the editor 1.01. Import the old *.dat file and save it in the new *.dan file format and write it back to the radio. In the 1.01, NXDN is also listed as a modulation type to choose.

Editor 1.01 is only Japanese. Can someone please modify and share the version in English? - Thank you in advance!

This "feature" in the description of the radio made me laugh...

• The set mode, which has more than 50 items in 11 menus, is packed with useful functions that cannot be described in detail !

Sorry its going to be 800 dollars

@M0FXB : Firmware version to find in the menu: SET - Status - Device Info (or the similar japanese items), please refer to page 83 of english manual. English Tool you added is old version 1.00 which does not work with the new firmware. New tool 1.01 works, but is in japanese only.
@c0ne and @oz1jua: Can you please help with a english translation of the new editor version 1.01 software?

I've had my eye on the DJ-X100 for a couple of years. As soon as it becomes available, I'll get one from HRO.
