Re: Prototype covers give away

 

Hi Axel

On is still available, but I can also send the printfiles.

Just drop me an email at df6pa at darc dot de

Re: Prototype covers give away

 

I'm interested in files and used material as well. Mail is lex at postpro dot net.

Also, where did you get that GX port covers? Looks really nice with retention.


Re: Prototype covers give away

 

Hi Stephan,?


I would like to have one if still possible

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 :-)

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

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, Chris, AD8F


Re: Prototype covers give away

 

I'd love one!

Shipping costs are fb om.

TIA

Hi

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 :-)

73, Stephan

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.

73 Stephan

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.?

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?
