Appears to work. The English user manual is out of date. The manual uses screenshots from an earlier version of the software. You will get the APRS functions working but some other items are not explained at all. If someone could update the manual or link to an update that would be much appreciated.

Bought it a year ago and use it on my ebike. Manual is lacking info on using /settings many of the features ie smart beaconing and Bluetooth. Thought after a year someone would expand the manual; surprised that has not happen as yet. It is only 1 watt but found it adequate when using a better antenna.

Very satisfying and not as noisy as my knobbly Anal Intruder when turned up to maximum.

I am very disappointed about the documentation. No word about the options of smart beaconing, I dont know what the 5 entries in the selectionbox mean and what will happen. The X1C5 transmits when it wants to, not predictable. I know, the project is not professional, but after a year I would expect much better information about the features. Explaining the functions in a youtube video is no rocket science. Round about 150 bucks are a lot of money to spend for almost a black box.

Sorry about the documentation,there are more functionality explanation on the Facebook group,also we will update it soon.

Works well with a better antenna. The manual is lacking information on many of the settings, but managed to work out some by looking at the manual for the other APRS products.
I managed to configure it to work with APRSDroid over Bluetooth and as an iGate and digipeater.
Smart beaconing works ok. I reduced the time between beacons by setting it to 5 and with the beacon transmitting on change of direction, provided a good track.

New firmware 2021 bricked my device (uhf). Got stuck in a boot loop (flashing red ex light before reboot). Is there any way to fix this?

Try to press and hold the F3 key for 5 seconds.
