I have a friend with a 3d printer, I would very much appreciate the files! I'm guessing shipping over seas is going to cost an arm and a leg, not to mention taking forever!
email sent!

Hi Chris
please have a look at my answer I sent Bob a few minutes ago. Same applies to you :-)

Re: Prototype covers give away
Hi Bob I am not sure if sending them over the ocean is worth the fun. Do you have access to an 3D printer? I could send the printfiles. I got the file from Lab599 a long time ago. I always asked them about the copyright, but never got an answer. So I guess it is ok for private use as long as nobody is going to make a business out of it. So, if you would like to get the 3d print files, send my an email to: df6pa@...73, Stephan -- DF6PA Stephan Forth Licensed since 1978 TX-500, IC-703, FT-817ND

Re: Prototype covers give away
Stephan,
I'd love to get one, I wonder what the shipping is like from your location to the US?
73,

I have three prototype covers (3D printed) for the TX-500. Don't want to put them in the trash bin.
Will give them away for free (shipping costs highly appreciated).
They are printed from a design from Lab599 that they sent me and a friend printed them.
Sorry for the color :-)

Re: Prototype covers give away
Hi Stephan,
I would be happy to get one, even I still wait for the transceiver. The green color looks fine to me. I like bright colors when doing SOTA, you'll spot it better in nature. Well, green is in this case probably not the best...?
You could send it to my German post address, maybe I will be allowed to cross the border again before the TX-500 arrives ;-)?
If OK, I 'll contact you via your QRZ email address.

Re: Digital Mode data cable
Sorry to bother you - i could not find the schematics on the manufactures homepage or elsewhere - can you give me a hint?
Thank you, 73, Uli DD5UK

Re: Digital Mode data cable
If a circuit calls for a polarized cap, you can substitute for a non polarized. It is just a matter of cost control when in design.?
73, de Steve W0ARK
Good to know. I had a selection of caps so I picked the one they specified. If I need to make another data cable for the TX-500, I'll pick one that is physically smaller and easier to integrate!

Re: Digital Mode data cable
There is no reason to use polarized, other than cost of the cap.?
I went with a 10uF polarized cap because the schematic specifically showed a polarized cap. I am curious if it really matters. Have you been able to get it working with a non-polarized version?

Re: Blocks diagram - schematics
Send a request to Lab599, perhaps?? https://lab599.com/support/

Blocks diagram - schematics
Where could I find a "blocks diagram" and/or schematics of the TX-500. I have always studied this kind of? documents about the various transceivers and other electronic gears I owned in order to understand how they work.

Although not as elegant, and definitely not wireless, as the forthcoming Lab599 and Brewer3Ddesign (KB7MDB) battery options, I did a quick AA battery pack for my TX500.? It sandwiches three 3-pack AA holders between 2 1/8 inch aluminum plates cut and drilled to attach to the back side of the TX500 using slightly longer 2.5mm hexhead screws.? My ultimate finish was to wrap a thin aluminum strip around the inside edges to seal out dirt and moisture.
I only did this to have a way to power the TX500 when just listening to the bands, without dragging along a larger/heavier battery pack or plug-in power supply.? I still will be getting either or both of the Lab599 and Brewer3Ddesign packs.

Very nice:
Before two weeks i've had a similar idea.
Using alloy, mill the housing and put battery and a charge
controller inside. But waiting for the TRX.
