"Overall, the test found that the main issue covers both hardware and software, but also more detailed.
The first round of testing yet found a fatal problem, the main problem is the following points:
1, CIV control part of the software is imperfect. (Software perfected)
2, USB port communication, computer recognition, online instability (already rectification)
3, PTT data interference. (Already rectification)
4, some bug (already rectification) software on the
5, optimization of protection mechanisms (already rectification) more than a few problems have been gradually rectification is complete, partial validation machines also made the corresponding comprehensive reform, should be effective, The second round of closed beta has yet to be further verified. Including software on some issues, but also have made the appropriate improvements. Meanwhile, No. 405, No. 406, No. 408 also conducted a precision CNC machine APC improved power control is more precise and stable, and optimized high VSWR protection mechanism to ensure safety when working under prolonged high standing state machine. At the same time, this also verified the reception performance measured X108, or good, with some large base station receives the comparison test results, are also remarkable, I also relieved. Launch is also to force, the indicators are in line with national standard requirements. Niece secretive nothing good question, and found the problem to be improved, which is the measured maximum use and harvest ah"
"USB port problems, one USB port instability, vulnerable to interference, one USB real-time communication interference received, the final decision to abandon USB real-time communication, retaining only brush machine functions. The online task is given to the AUX port, this interface can be extended out."
"USB port to keep the brush machine will use ah. X108 USB port is not simply a serial converter chip, but really USB, brush firmware with USB mass storage mode, and drivers and operating system independent, and do not want to change the structure of the main circuit."
"At my request, the annoying Pacman that continuously chomps, will be history. Hopefully he won't be replaced with a smiley face.
The fit and finish of this radio is excellent. The speaker holes are CNC drilled, the display cover is flush mounted, it is just a nice looking radio. My sample is getting a workout by a friend and reports are good so far. When he's finished, I'll post his comments here. Another friend is going to display it at the Huntsville hamfest in the fleamarket area. I'll report his space number on the forum later.
My X108 sample arrived assembled, not as a kit. The factory says in kit form, the radio will require 99.9% mechanical assembly with only one wire to solder. I assume this would be a wire to the antenna connector.
About X1M. From the information I have, this radio will continue to be produced. I am not sure when the factory will make another run of them because I know all efforts are going into the X108 at this time."
"Our XiOne Software Defined Radio has been designed around mobility, not only including the hardware but also a bundle of applications covering smart phones, tablets as well as Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems. Just start-up XiOne and step into a new world of radio frequency applications without the need for special knowledge and therefore steep learning curves.
To continuously enhance XiOne’s capabilities we like to encourage the maker community to develop their own applications. A well documented application interface and a Software Development Kit, including code examples, make it easy to start the integration of new applications. There is no need to install special drivers because all interfaces are based on standard network protocols, so it is simple to operate the device within all environments. Just connect via Wifi or Ethernet to the SDR-Network or even use the USB-Port which acts as a network interface too.
A huge frequency range from 100 kHz up to 1.7 GHz opens up a wide field of operations. For example the reception of world wide short wave transmissions or the detection of ship as well as aircraft positions by receiving Automatic Identification System Messages and Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcasts. The built-in wide band amplifier ensures a strong signal to noise ratio to receive weak signals. Strong RF-Shielding assures a low level of cross talk between the RF-Path and the processing unit to keep the noise level as low as possible.
The SDR has its own power supply allowing more than 2 hours of mobile usage, easily extendable with an external USB battery pack. In combination with dedicated smartphone or tablet Apps the solution becomes mobile allowing to go into areas with very low radio interferences."
"From August 12~17, we are going to celebrate our two year anniversary and reflecting on our past. Starting in 2012 as a supplier of radios and their accessories, we have grown steadily from a small retailer to the professional online store we are today. From the introduction of our partnership with Baofeng, to our Shareasale program we are proud of our progress and strive to continue providing customers with both the best products and support possible. We appreciate those who have supported us along the way, and wish to express this gratitude by offering additional discounts on bulk orders placed during our 3 day anniversary celebration. Enthusiasts like you are the reason Radioddity exists, and we are happy to provide this small token in return."I've got a reminder to see what the deals are on the 12th.
