TJ1GD Remote X6100 – manual
Remote operation of the Xiegu X6100 from an Android phone and a Windows PC: receive with audio and spectrum, transmit, FT8, CW, filters – and away from home through a gateway and Tailscale.
Three ways to connect
1. At home (LAN)Phone or PC on the same Wi-Fi as the radio. The simplest way – just the radio's address and password.
2. Raspberry Pi gatewayA small Raspberry Pi next to the radio makes it reachable from anywhere. Ready-made card, set up from the phone.
3. Windows PC gatewayThe same app on a PC next to the radio works as the gateway. The PC must stay on.
Away from home you always connect through a gateway. The free Tailscale app provides the path over the internet – no router settings, no public IP address.
What you need
- A Xiegu X6100 connected to your home Wi-Fi.
- The radio's SSH password (user
root) – the app starts its helper programs on the radio. - The TJ1GD Remote X6100 app on an Android phone or a Windows PC – downloads.
- For use away from home: a gateway (Raspberry Pi 4/5 or a Windows PC) and a free Tailscale account.

TransmittingThe Zezwól na nadawanie (allow transmit) switch is always off when the app starts. Without it the app will not transmit at all – no PTT, FT8, CW or tuner TUNE. If the connection drops, the radio stops transmitting by itself.
