Re: X1M not transmitting - repair needed NOT NEEDED NOW

Well done.? You will like it and enjoy its back to basics operation.
I have only had two issues with this radio.?? The mic cable seems to have been poorly soldered to the plug.? It stops txing.? I pulled the plug apart and soldered it properly, including the PTT lead that had become disconnected.? All good for 5 years since.
I made a clumsy mistake with the power plug and touched the screen of the audio connector at the rear.? Poof.? I blew an RF suppressing RFC and some PCB track.? Replaced both.? That outer ring tests as grounded but isn't directly connected to the case. Back to perfect operation now.
I used it on a VK9 expedition and had good results.? ?Otherwise it's done a few SOTA summits as well.? It's now my standby rig. 73

Checked SWR and sent code using another radio to listen for the signal. It transmitted without any problems.
Life is good! I like this small radio out in the field.
