very low RF output when using BPF.
3
Hi everyone, knowing now that the yahoo X1M group no longer exists, the is my last resort. I bough the X1M back I'm 2014, I guess, due to busy life I only realised that my X1M was defective now in 2020. I'll explain what's going on. I get full power 6 watts out of the X1M when the BPFs for 10 15 20 40 80 bands are not engaged. out of the ham bands the radio is not designed, it works really well, very sensitive receiver and again 6 watts. I suspected the BPFs or one of them could be faulty, so I decided to bypass the BPFs. Things got worse, therefore I can assume it's not the BPF. I've checked the the RX/TX relay and it's fine too. I'm running out of ideas here. Does anyone know what's going on with my X1m? Thank you in advance Flavio VE2ZFP

X1M firmware updates
13
Hi, I was active on the old X1M Yahoo group but that is now history. I was hoping that the firmware update files that were stored there might have gotten transferred to this site, but I have not found them. The last update I have is "X1M-PT-V1d024-build007(USA)-updater" and if there is a later one, I would love to have it. I've searched with Google, but no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have 5 of the firmware updates, if anyone would like to store them here?

Controlling the X1M with HRD
5
I picked up an interface serial to USB cable for the X1M this week. The manual suggests using the Icom IC-718 drivers in HRD but I find I cannot connect. Has something happened since the X1M first came out or should I be using a different set of drivers. Mark Coady VE3LJQ/VA3MYC Selwyn, ON

Great little radio
2
Hi All, I have had 3 of these, all of which had problems that needed repair. I am amazed at just how versatile this radio can be. I replaced the MIC jack with a miniature 4 pin XLR connector as this was the only latching connector I could find. The extra pin was used for audio out. The radio will transmit as low as 100KHz! This makes it great for testing antenna's and can be used for the 137KHz and 400KHz bands. With an old solid state CB amplifier, you can get 50-100 watts output if you need more power. I would advise anyone wanting to do this to install a low pass filter for each band. I did this by using a LPF from an old HF radio. We may as well keep our bands clean. It is difficult to work on when repairs are needed though. It's no where near as bad as the FT-817 though as I can at least see the components on the board. It's a great little radio for the few faults it might have. Clint, VE3CMQ

G1M
The G1M four band has no reset to factory settings. I have the four band unit. It seems to work well then goes on the blink. I suspect heat and stray RF. This radio likes dipooles and developed problems when using wire antenna's like inverted Ls with an antenna tuner. Any one else with these problems... TNX constomer@... is the factory email for help.

Transfer Update
I apologize, between that Holidays, health and a death to a friend my thinking spare time has been consumed over the last few weeks. I believe that I have most if not all of the data from the previous Yahoo site and will continue with the changeover process as my life settles down and time permits. 73, John KK4ITX
