Xiegu X108 QRP Transceiver HAM Radio

Xiegu X108 QRP HF Transceiver HAM Radio

The brand new X108 from Chongqing Xiegu Technology is a compact single

conversion HF transceiver covering 0.5 to 30 MHz.  Boasting the latest in

minimalist industrial design, it offers radio amateurs high quality HF

capability at a very affordable price.

Attention to detail abounds in the X108 – the IF crystal filter stage, for

instance, features customised military grade crystals for superb performance in

both SSB (2.4 kHz) and CW (500 Hz) modes.

Other features include a switchable AGC circuit, preamplifier and signal

attenuator, RIT control for SSB use, and RF output power variable from 1 to 20

Watts.  The front panel meter can display incoming signal strength, RF output

power and VSWR, and the transceiver includes high VSWR protection circuitry to

guard against potential damage to the output stage caused by antenna

mismatching.

The RF output stage features imported RF MOS tubes and APC circuitry for

constant output across all bands.  A noise blanker (NB) module is available as

an option, as is a high stability 0.5 ppm TCXO module.

A multi-function digital microphone is supplied as standard, allowing direct

operation of many transceiver functions without the need to touch the front

panel.

 Up to 32 frequencies can be stored in the X108’s memory bank, while a dedicated

USB port is provided on the rear of the unit, allowing PC control via

appropriate software with the use of a standard USB A-B cable.

X108 is the X1 one series. It is a single-conversion shortwave transceiver. In

strict accordance with standard industrial design, design optimization

transceiver channels, improve the overall receiver dynamic range and SNR; To

enhance SSB and CW transceiver performance, specially customized military-grade

crystals, crystal filters for the production of IF. X108 machine configured 2.4k

and 500Hz for SSB , CW filter, the filter performance is excellent, comparable

merchandise machine crystal filters to ensure excellent frequency

characteristics of the machine.

In addition, the machine is also equipped with AGC , S meter, power meter

standing wave, NB (module) function, the operator can meet their daily needs.

RF transmit channels using imported MOS tube, the machine APC circuit to ensure

the machine is kept constant RF output power level of each band, and also

according to the actual needs, adjust the output power level, and have a high

VSWR protection. Overall performance indicators to meet the national standard,

FCC (or CE ) certification requirements.
