Re: USB Power

Re: USB Power
So maybe the PC supplies power (e.g. 5V) to the FTDI plug/chip with 3.3V then going from there to the TX-500??Any idea what it means on the wiring diagram when it says: " *Change the power supply to

Re: USB Power
My googling says the host usually supplies power to the device on a usb to usb connection

USB Power
My understanding is that many rigs provide power to drive a USB device (e.g. such as the FTDI CAT cable shipped with the TX-500).
Does anyone know whether it's the PC or the TX-500 that provides the

Re: VOX Continuous with BM-17DDYN and custom adapter cable

Re: New Firmware v1.16.06
Thanks, I get it. I was just curious about it but mainly interested in the channel programming feature, not for CB use but for HF.

Re: VOX Continuous with BM-17DDYN and custom adapter cable
Is the headset speaker common connected in any way to the mic & PTT common?? Since the TX-500 speaker outputs are 'balanced', there can be no connection to any common/ground.

CB channels can be handy while traveling for traffic/accident advisories (besides, 'smokey' lookout reports)

Yes, that's exactly the purpose.
As for the CB channels, I guess that's what makes this hobby so great; We all have different interests. It's nice to see different aspects included in
