I was able to use my radio this morning.
This evening I tried to play radio again... BUT... i mixed the polarities of the power.
Negative went to Positive and vice-versa.
When I turn ON the X108G, i hear a click inside but no display.

Please help... so depressed...

update: I was able to replace the component that was faulty.
It was a Voltage Regulator - L7809CV - This Voltage Regulator also steps down the voltage from 13.8v to 9.01v.
The radio is now turning on.
I tested the radio on RX. RX is fine. but NO TX. No transmitt power whatsoever.
I checked the mosfets, they tested ok, but really not sure if they are. *due to lack of knowledge*
Any ideas what else I should check?

Thanks and 73

I certainly understand how you feel.
I received a X108 S/N 00131 yesterday and upgraded the software. I tried two different versions for the indoor model but I wound up with a radio with no TX and very poor receive. I am wanting to download V1.35.1 from this website but for some reason it will not allow me to download anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
