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?
New Alinco DJ-X100 wideband receiver
- Thread starter martufello
- Start date
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.
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 !
Many thanks how do you select to see the firmware version as in your screen shot ?Regards M0FXB Andreas

HRO is selling it for $459.95 on their website. I have one on order.
@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?
73, Thomas
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.

One big advantage this has over the Uniden 160/260 is the ability to decode time slot, talk group and radio IDs.
Curious how this compares to the R15.
To quote my previous post, what am I missing…what gap does this radio fill that is not already covered at less price? I can buy 2 different radios that between them would cover most of this for the same amount of money. I realize it is more convenient having just one radio but, as others have said, there are many limitations to this Alinco….where is p25, 800mhz, automatic mode detection, 470mhz top, sd card, dual receive, waterfall?
It’s a Japanese domestic market radio that migrated to the US. After a lot of thought I canceled my order, noting the limitations of the digital formats and complexity of programming.
Looks like I’ll pass on it too after reading the posts here. Shame.
Finally, just to clarify, I have nothing against Alinco..I own their dmr handheld and my very first handheld I bought years ago after I got my license was an Alinco. But, this radio just doesn’t appeal to me and I predict will not be a best seller. They could have done a lot better for the US market. Maybe at half the price but just not competitive. Sorry Alinco.

Can't believe it...that's sad! At least I know where all these weak NXDN signals come from where I live, thanks.
Alinco has made some really interesting radios, especially the credit card sized VHF and UHF handhelds from quite a few years back. I carried a DJ-C1T for several years to use at Hamfests, same with the DJ-5T. This one needs a little more development for the US market….
