Re: No Power On Transmit
I know the quick replies are stacking up here and no resolution yet. So, sorry for yet another. I typically run my LiPo for my TX500 down to 9V and have no issues with it. I hope you find the

Re: Amp for Lab599, TX500
ve3ega, yes that price is steep! I do want that amp though (PA500).
I have been tinkering with the Micro PA50 using RF sensing. Seems this is a no-no to many and I can reason why. I will try with the

Re: Tuner for tx500
For those using the mAT-10 Automatic Tuner, is there a DC-DC charger
available? I'd like to use the same battery to change it as I use to power
the TX-500.

Re: Tuner for tx500
In my shack, Energy is reserved for the transceiver.
I've been using manual ATU like my TEN TEC 2544 or in portable with my EMTECH ZM-2.

Re: No Power On Transmit
Good eye. Let me switch to main power. Usually keep my shack running off battery and solar but we have snow today. I did run my FT-991A off of this same battery and made contacts both SSB and FT8

Re: No Power On Transmit
The display says it's only receiving 10.0 VDC.? Is it possible that the voltage is so low the radio won't transmit?

Re: No Power On Transmit
Good idea but the only problem is I had the current update on the radio when I dropped it.
Will check for split.
And also have it to display power output and even put it up to a dummy load with an

Re: No Power On Transmit
After doing factory reset, did you update to latest firmware too. Perhaps a
weird combination of button pressed when you dropped the mic on it caused a
glitch and the update might clear it.

Re: No Power On Transmit

Hi Matt,
I just measured the BNC of the radio and it has a DC short, so this might not be the problem.

Re: No Power On Transmit
Remember a DC short across centre pin and ground is not an RF short.
