I was looking at those the other day. Price is still a bit high,

If it proved to be reliable and of decent quality, I could pay that much. I'd have to see what kind of support and warranty it had. Just have to wait and see if Ed posts more info.

Finally,something CWish you can get your hands on. Heck I'd I'd buy it just because it has a TCXO.

I'm a little ignorant about GC Receive. According to this forum the X108 doesn't have one?

I hope it is better than its little brother. I was going to buy the X1M but after many hours of reading.......

Same here. I almost bit, but something kept telling me to pass. Glad I did.

The TXCO is an option isn't it?

I want to see the assembly manual. Barring no major revelations, maybe Santa will hook me up. Should be plenty time to unearth problems. I admit, the display is drawing me in, but I needs more information. When I operate QRP CW, I prefer doing it on platforms costing way less than this.

A 0.5 ppm TCXO is an option on the standard($595)version but is included in the deluxe($695)version. Check out the order form and spec sheet. The noise blanker module,TCXO,and handles are an $133 option on the standard but are included on the deluxe. A savings of $33 if you buy the deluxe and want those three options included.

seven bills for a chinese qrp hf rig that i have to break out the soldering iron and put together?

Makes a 100w IC718 from HRO for US$644 with free shipping look real good.
(And it IS!)

Nothing like schlepping a big ass 718 in your backpack on the trail.

Rates right up there with running a TS-820 or Drake TR-4 mobile under the dash. :laugh:

I have a friend, KE6OYE that used to run a FT 101 in his old Chevy truck.
He used to park in a turnout up near the Meadow Lakes repeater site in eastern Fresno county and work DX.

I remember years ago reading an issue of Ham Radio Magazine and seeing an article showing a French operator relaying VHF comms via 40m HF while mobile. Under the dash was a TS-520. It was huge looking jammed in there.

Interesting for the novelty but the stock FT-817 right now is cheaper, $609 after rebate.
