X1M not transmitting - repair needed NOT NEEDED NOW

AG3 - KI6DOZ All Messages By This Member #100 I went into the boards and reset the jumpers 180 degrees. Checked the connections and powered up. Keyed the mic and T appeared on the screen! 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. cheers,? 73
Ronald Cook All Messages By This Member #101 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 Ron VK3AFW toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, 6 Sept 2023, 1:25 pm AG3 - KI6DOZ, <2gatos@...> wrote: I went into the boards and reset the jumpers 180 degrees.

AG3 - KI6DOZ All Messages By This Member #102 I am glad I decided to take one more look inside before writing it off. The main jumper was upside down from where it should be and though I had read in a previous post that if it was inserted wrong? it would or could toast the board; in my case it did not. The front panel had a bent pin and I straightened it and then the radio came back to life. The flaky microphone is still problematic but it's working. I also rewired the serial to prolific usb cable and it's talking to HRD. It should keep me busy for awhile. I would like to see if there is a transverter approach to get on 2m SSB later on.
