The Xiegu G90 is a manpack style SDR-transceiver, 20 watt and a legendary antenna-tuner. It’s great to use outdoors. But in my opinion the G90 lacks a foldable table stand. I tryed a laptopstand, but found it’s an hassle. I needed something much simpler. So I came with the idea to use two pieces of L-profile and attach them to the front handles of the rig. This would make a simple, lightweight and compact, foldable stand.
It’s easy to make this stand from any plastic (or aluminium) L-profile from a DIY-store. Choose the length of the stands according to your prefered position of the G90 in tilted position. 6 cm worked for me.
By the way: the L-shape of the profile makes the stands more stable than just a flat piece. And: the notch on the top side together with the L-shape secures the position when in use.
Folded back, the stands lay nicely flat to the radio. I used an L-profile of 2 x 1 cm.
You don’t need to drill extra holes in the rig: the stands are attached to the G90 using the holes/bottom screws of the handles.
See the pictures below, they are self explanatory! In my case I choose 6 cm lenght for each stand (in total), the L-profile I used is 2 by 1 cm.
And does it work? Yes 😉
