The X1M Arrives!
26 April 2013 | by I finally received my assembled Xiegu X1M today. I unpacked it and started tuning around before going out to dinner with the XYL, but after I got home I picked
Xiegu X1M
up the mic and tried it out. Attached to an Emtech ZM2 tuner, and about 50-odd feet of random wire in the trees here, I checked in to the Brothers Net on 7192kHz. Not bad for 5 watts, and a less-than-ideal antenna. We’re off to a good start. More to follow.

So far audio reports have been good. Supposedly there is a custom adapter that we need for rig-control. It’s a DB9 connector, but not RS-232 I guess. I think digital might work with a PTT interface. If I can’t get the custom cable, I may try the PTT route.
