This $8 soundcard is the way to go if you're looking for easy....

Additional question to the the wiring diagram:
Today the PCs/Laptops normally have an USB Port for sound; is there a possibility to change the wiring diagram in the way to use an USB Plug instead of the 2 3,5 mm jacks or is it easier to buy an adapter?

Thank you for answers.

Use a fine tip iron and solder.? watch lots of you tube instructional videos on how to solder, plan on ruining a couple of cable ends.

Tin the terminal and wire ends.

You learn by doing!

Wish i could be more help!

I soldered the grounds from the cables together first (before the ground lead) and then applied a bit of solder to the ground of the cable.? Then I rested the ground on the lead, then applied the iron to the lead to finish the connection.? It's a bear, but it's doable.

Any advice for soldering the audio data cable.? I do not have much experience with soldering trying to figure out a way to get at that center pin for the ground.? I have a Hakko iron with some smaller tips.

Thanks

Yes I was able to update using linux.? I downloaded changed it to executable and just ran it from a terminal window.? A window popped up and I ran the update.? You have a 64bit processor?? I think it will only work with a 64bit proc that is intel/amd based (not arm based).

Thanks John,
Thanks for the phone call regarding this.
This radio offers so much more in terms of ruggedness that it is ideal for what it is designed for -field use. I have been through several 817’s and wouldn’t consider a K2 or K3 because they are too fragile for a rough and tumble environment.
This radio is just ideal.
I am going to order one today knowing that the capability to operate outside of the amateur bands will be forthcoming.
This radio, I believe, will definitely have a following that will grow substantially. The amount of external interest in it in terms of peripheral support ie amplifiers, tuners, etc. is nice to see too.

All in all, a very nice and well thought out device.

Thanks again John for the support.

I am seriously considering one of these machines. ?My big concern is the ability to operate outside of the amateur bands, specifically MARS and SHARES frequencies, as that is my primary usage.
I have spoken to John in Nevada and he is trying to come up with a way to do so. ?At this point it appears that the device will have to be sent to Russia to perform the modification. ?It isn't definite that they can/will do this. ?It is unfortunate if this capability is not provided as this would make a great field MARS transceiver. ?John is going to let me know what he finds out from the factory. ?

Nice, however the Amazon link does not mention the pouch.

this is a 1uF cap - is this correct ?

i don't suppose there is a cheaper way to get 1 capacitor ? seems silly to buy 1 and pay $1 for the cap and $8 shipping...

Hey all,

I'm a bit of a keyboard nerd and it just occurred to me that the pouch I have for my planck keyboard is just about the perfect size for the TX-500. Those pouches are sturdy, they have a healthy amount of padding and a soft interior. I think I got mine when I got the keyboard on drop.com but it looks like they are now selling the pouches individually: (not an affiliate link).

See for yourself:

Thanks Michael,

I don't know how I missed it.??

Hi Glenn,

Curious if the amp keying signal on pin 2 is documented anywhere.? Do you know if it's a relay output or transistor switched?

Thanks in advance,?
