You need to redo the jacks soldering on the G1M or you risk having them pull off. Otherwise it works fine...

I have two G1Ms.  In April the older one will be three years old.  The mic jack problem was real but I understand it's been corrected in newer production runs.  I had to repair mine on the older unit.  Both it and the newer radio have been fine ever since and get lots of use.

As others have said, the receive audio is truly excellent and the radio is a joy to operate.  Perfect for portable use.  I recently added the W2ENY desk mic. for the second one which I use in the shack.  Nice little product and it gets good audio reports.

3.2 rating on Eham with 14 reviews.   Not one I would jump all over... your mileage may vary.

i had two, sold 'em off... shame, as the rig could have been a classic... for me, the problem was no ptt tune, bad jacks, bad factory mic, overheating just in receive, no swr or voltage readout... really good receive, nice live band display, light weight, low power consumption, good rf output for its size, readable display in sunlight

oops..I just posted my problems over the G1M in a post without looking all through the posting threads here.

Mine out of the box has a bad power connection. Upon first usage the jack will not stay in and it shorts shorts shorts. Tryng to hold it in by your hands still erratic connection.

Manual ? I wish something simple just saying what to do with the knobs and buttons as to what they do and how many times to press and all that stuff.
