Is there a way to confirm which of the X108G radios that I have. It seems they updated and have several versions of the radio now out being sold. I purchased mine from a ham radio shop in Greece in November 2015. It has a full color screen and shows the following info when you first turn it on. V1.00.3a and June 16, 2015. I purchased it new and it has not had any firmware updates or mods done to the radio as of yet.

your information listen to after the firmware version in the surrender condition. the color display indicates an x-108G indoor. unless necessity is I would not update the firmware. an update brings in most cases benefits - but things can go wrong during update process

Thank you. The radio is working great as it is so I will leave the firmware alone as it is. I am just trying to figure out things about it as there does not seem to be a lot of info on these great little radios. Mine was a dealer demo unit that was never unboxed so it has all the bells and whistles from the listing where I purchased it many months ago. I been trying to figure out the microphone pin out, acc pinout and about the speaker output. I am wanting to use a Signal link USB to try a few of the digital modes.

ah ok, now i understand your intentions ;) I like the x-108G very well myself have bought 6 months before the x-108G outdoor. Unfortunately, I have not had as much opportunity to work with. Before that I had the X-108 standard. The x-108G Series is however well developed. The device is fun. It is very unfortunate that the support is not great, not many OM possess the equipment and there is little information in the www only. So i hope this forum can help other OMs

I think I have the same version as you version 0.03a June 16th 2015, and I've heard that there is a bug in CW mode when using an iambic keyer, and that this older firmware generates spurious characters. I don't know whether this particular issue has been corrected in later versions of the indoor model? Obviously, it's only relevant if you plan to use morse with a modern keyer.
