X1M Platinum Edition 3.01b QRP HF SSB CW Amateur Ham Radio
The X1M is one of the first HF radios to be released from China. It was introduced in 2013 and has since gained a loyal following, and an active Yahoo Groups community. Many videos can be found on YouTube of the radio in action. The X1M is great for someone looking for a small 'back pack' type radio, or for a ham looking at operating QRP for the thrill. This is also a great HF radio for those who are tight for space or live within antenna restricted areas such as a condo, apartment, townhouse, as it can be used with our Mobile HF antenna giving you an indoor solution, or one that can be easily taken to your balcony, and then put away inside when done.
Is this suitable for a new ham looking to enter HF? That depends on your willingness to not have the same power as other HF radios. While anyone can operate QRP a different skill set is required to be successful. While learning is something amateur radio operators are always doing please ensure that QRP is something you want to dive into as your first HF rig. Do ask questions if you are unsure what QRP really means.
