Well as you know the bands have been fairly poor so I have no stories to share with you about “Rare DX” and even my Parks on The Air (POTA) activities have been less than usual.

A while back I did post about the “New” Xiegu X6200 and how it looked impressive “on paper” and was waiting to get more info before making any opinions (good or bad) on the unit.

Here is a link to that post.

Well the X6200 is now available for sale and from some actual dealers rather than the usual Chinese companies…

The information I comment on today is from the Waters & Stanton website who are selling the unit in the UK….

The prices I quote are from their website including their estimation of Duties and Taxes in Canadian $$$.

The price of the radio is 795.00 in Pound Sterling and from there the websites calculates the following…

So if you take in the above sub totals it looks like the converted price of the radio is $1389.70 (CDN) then you add the Duties and taxes of $226.73 (CDN) giving a total of $1616.43 (CDN)

But remember the disclaimer from above:

The estimated duties and taxes are based on CA$1,389.70 of product and may fluctuate due to changes in currencies, shipping costs, clearance fees or how the items are classified by customs. Duties and taxes may be collected upon delivery of the items.

So at this point I am guessing (yes guessing) that the retail North American Price will be fairly close to the above price in the range of $1600 -$1700 (CDN) but remember that is my “Best Guess”.

From what I can see of the details of the 6100 they will be in competition with the ICOM IC705 and the ELECRAFT KX3.

Lets see the reviews that should be available on YouTube very soon and then make your decisions from there.

If it is as good as it seems… It still could be a contender in the upper end of the QRP rigs.

Disclaimer: This post is me thinking out loud. I am not recommending or endorsing any of the products listed above. I believe that you if you are thinking of purchasing one…. That you should do all your research and draw your own conclusions before you buy one from whatever source you choose.

Its all up to you.
