BG8HT calls the export version "platinum". The final is still rd06hvf1. Display is OLED. Slight modification in the circuit. Note the ant connect is BNC.

BG8HT just posted pictures of the X1M export models. Inspite of the Chinese contents, "pictures worth thousand words". You might see them at Dayton:

comments by BG8HT on the X1MKII:

新机进入新阶段。
这个项目真实庞大，其复杂程度超出我的预料，还好进展顺利。
等新机发布后，预计短时间内不会再做这样的便携机了，说不定未来几年之内都是行业标杆。

Below is my translation:

The project turned out too be very big. The complexity is beyond my expectation. Luckily turned out quite smooth. I expect not to do any project on a portable rig like this after the release of the product. It (X1MKII??) could the standard in the industry in the years to come!!

I find these at the website of BG8HT, (X1-m's designer). Detail on the production version of X1-M. Very exciting rig!!

Turned out to be the power supply I used is a older production of Class 2. I switch to one of class B then the noise goes away. I even have one power supply of NO class listed at all. Thanks!

I operate an IBM Thinkpad notebook pc "very closed" to the TS-2000. I notice when it is on , the S-meter goes up 3 S's. I also have a RadioShack 3a power supply closed by. It also contributes. I notice after wrapping the notebook power supply with aluminium foil, noise goes down. Presently the rig is not grounded. Anything more I can do to cut down the noise?

Thanks!

Hi W6OP,
 Thanks for your suggestion. Problem resolved!!

The TS-2000 is a factory original without any modification or "enhancement"!

Just to check if the newly acquired TS-2000 is functioning "properly".
After detecting strong CW signal on SSB on 20m, I switched/pressed to CW (via the CW button). However, the speaker almost went silence (not even background noise). Is the TS-2000 not functioning? or something else!

Hi KG4RUL,
  How do you get into the diagnostic menu? You don't mean the "setup menu"? Any documentation on the diagnostic menus? I turn on AGC. However, takes a "pretty strong" signal (by ear) to move the s-meter!

Thanks!

I turn the AGC on then S-meter comes to LIVE. Thanks to all of you!! 73!
