A friend of mine not in this group asked Lab599 via email for some information. He never got a response from them.?

if you are directly familiar with exact knowledge please respond as I have no desire to be a middleman of misinformation.?

this is a direct quote from him

”?I asked them if the provided headset adapter used mono or stereo connectors for mic and for phones, what voltage was on the mic line, and what the mic impedance range was. I was/am having trouble figuring out why some headsets work and others don't, all of which are supposedly compatible type.”


thanks in advance?

Thanks Dominic,?
Much appreciated.?

Nope. My ftdx-10 goes super fast. It has a second vfo ring for this which is very convenient as the slower knob doesn't automatically speed up exactly then when you don't need that feature.

Menu 23 has the tone power level added there.

Absolutely, this was much needed and behaves more like my IC-7300. A feature Yaesu owners dream of (I have a few Yaesu rigs and you need the [fast] key to spin up fast. Great feature.

It is now more like the Icom IC-7300 where spinning the VFO it rolls quicker than before in Intel mode. Based on the assumption that if your spinning the VFO fast you want to tune quickly. Spinning it slowly and all will be as normal.

Hope this helps.

You need to find tone in menus and lower there

Is there information on lowering the tone power?

The setting is a submenu of menu `23 Tone`.

Is there information on lowering the tone power?
I have just updated the firmware, and even though I turn the xmit power down to 10%, the output on tone is still around 5W

TIA, Mike VK6MB?

Hi Ronan,

Thanks for your feedback, very helpful!

Good news:
After I reset the TRX some more times and copied the settings and memory channels back, the issue is much less severe.
If you turn the VFO frequency down, the frequency sometimes still jumps up a bit, but not like at the beginning, when it sometimes jumped up by 1 MHz. This issue never happens when you increase the VFO frequency instead.

If you don't explicitly look for this issue, now you might not recognize it at all. Therefore, as it is now, I can live with it.

I made a short video to show the small issue as of now:

I also informed the Lab599 support.

The update went well, I can lower the Tone power to 10% for use with the DIY599 amp ?. Now, if I could lower output power to 100 - 500 milliwatts for JS8Call . ?. . ?

I've just tried the new firmware on my radio and the VFO encoder works normally. They've adjusted the scaling so it's easier to move quickly across the band .?

Mine is about the same age. Certainly pre-invasion anyway. I'll try the firmware on it and see how it goes.

For comparison, the Harbor Freight Apache case 2800 is about the same size and is $30, vs. $70 (w/shipping) for the Windcamp.
You would have to pick out the foam to fit though.

After loading the firmware, some VFO modes and/or frequencies were different. So I tried to reset the settings but unfortunately, the strange behavior with the '00 Encoder: INTEL' setting is still the same.

I contacted the Lab599 support explaining the strange behavior. I'll keep you informed.

I think it would be helpful if more users could test the VFO behavior with the INTEL setting and post their results on this thread. Maybe only some batches suffer from this problem? My rig is about two years old and origins from the first EU-shipment (S/N. TX5210503xxEU).

This was a problem with one of the earlier beta tests but was fixed, or apparently not. If the problem persists please email with explanation to support@...? 73

I just updated my firmware and it works properly.

Sry, misunderstanding.... I have only straight GX-12, in case TimAF6TF needs only a female I am sure I can help him out.

Thanks for the info Bill. I wonder if the Lab599 case is a little bigger. It has a pocket that could probably hold a lighter end-fed or dipole. I have a Pelican case but it's quite a bit bigger. I might use that

Sorry but there is a little QSB. What's the reference to the "s. amercan river"? :):)
