    FAQ X108G Firmware

    Send photos. It may be fixable. I had that problem. Turned out it was a relay. Someone else had burnt diodes in the SWR protection circuit. The Mitsubishi RF Mosfets are pretty robust and will take a lot of abuse. The radio is pretty simple, analog signal path and not much more complex than...

    FAQ Schematics for Board V1.41 (blown D1B/D2B diodes)

    I know its been a while, but there is a list of parts in the service manual that you can use as hints for what they're likely to be. The service manual I have doesn't show the component numbers nor values on the diagram. Later versions have different components and or completely different...

    X-108 Info Howto - Pre Volume Audio Line in / out on Aux Jack

    Hi All I wanted to be able to run FLDigi to decode CW while still having noise come out the speaker. On the back of the unit is an Aux cable, which is a serial connector to the CPU, but not really necessary as we already have a micro USB connector for the radio already. I fgured I could use...

    x-108 bugs Slow TX / RX changeover (Solved)

    Hi all I have an earlier blue button outdoor unit which has had all sorts of issues over the few years I have owned it, but I somehow manage to keep the thing going. Specifically the problem I had recently is the recovery time from TX to RX when the unit is cold. The unit clicks back into...

    sounds like a flat CMOS battery. There is a small button battery I had to replace in mine. Works fine now

    FAQ X-108G The difference in the sensitivity of the transceiver with different IF filters.

    I mostly use the rig for CW. While the CW filter drops the S meter reading significantly, the signal to noise ratio improves significantly. I tend to give RST reports relative to the base noise, rather than rely on the meter. I have a Yaesu FT747GX and that knocks an S point off the signal, but...

    This was the item I purchased and it worked perfectly. The radio is still marginally OKishh, but at least I can read the screen again https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32259768807.html was the part I purchased with the short lead. Pretty straight forward to change

    I had issues when connected to a linux box. Same issue. I connected up an old Windows XP notbook and it all worked OK. I havent tried any other devices, but I have read that the USB interface can be a bit fiddly.

    FAQ X108G not transmitting

    OK I am u and running now The schematic on line is different to the version I have for the input stage on the RF power amp. The long IPX jumper feeds the modulated RF signal to the board. Its pretty low level. Maybe 50mW. You can see a test point next to the jack you can connect a CRO up to. I...

    X-108 experiences Full tx mod x108g

    Removing the resistor opens up the transmit from 100KHz to 30.000 MHz I get between 15W and 22W across the spectrum. It wont fix your transmit problem. I'll post my fixes for you on the other thread

    FAQ X108G not transmitting

    Hey Bob I was given one which is no longer transmitting. I have a serial beginning with an 11. slightly diferent scematic. There is no transmit to speak of. Maybe 10mW. I have reseated the ribbon cables, replaced the battery (socketed same as yours) and flashed the 7 May 2017 firmware. I have...

    FAQ Function Buttons - quit working.

    I've used some silver paint on the pads of the ones that dont work and that seems to have sorted them out. They are usable now, and while I can not comment as to how long they will last, the silver seems to stuck to the pads well enough not to scrach off with my nail

    X-108 Info update the xiegu X-108G

    I'll admit I didnt, however I expect that these have just factory defaulted anyway as the CMOS backup battery was flat. I have replaced it and it now remembers settings. AFAIK they are required to align the radio in relation to the filters and such, rather than the old trimmer to tweak the...

    Quick update. Reseating the ribbon cable between the RF board and the top board has fixed the Keying problem, however I still have no power to speak of
