18650 batteries for BAT 599
Hi gang, it appears that 18650 cells come in two different "flavors". Those being flat top and button top. The button top allows the + contact of the device to be slightly recessed, thus preventing

Yes, Lab599 people do read and occasionally respond here.? It's also OK to send an email to support@... as well. -- Grace & peace, Tim AF6TF

Re: Strange crackling noise?
Thanks all for the replies. ?Seems it is a quirk of some radios. ?It was a bit of a surprise as this radio was a replacement for one that had failed, ?screen lit up but nothing on it. ?The one

Re: Strange crackling noise?
I'll echo what everyone else said. Mine has done that since day one. Had it about a year, and no issues with the radio. I wouldn't be concerned.

Re: Strange crackling noise?
Mine has always done this too. No other problems so I¡¯d assumed it was normal as well!

Re: Optimal Radio settings for 20m
SSB/QRP is challenging but TX500 has it all in terms of compression and audio tailoring using the EQ settings. Cranking up your normal voice to DX strength is key. When at party with friends in

Re: Optimal Radio settings for 20m
David, I have several thoughts in addition to those already mentioned. 1. Make sure your mic gain is set according to the procedure in the manual. ALC engages differently in this rig than others

Re: Optimal Radio settings for 20m
Much appreciated info Mike & Tim. ?The websdr maybe the way to go. ?I only have the TX500 at present. Thank you both for the information. ¡¯73

Re: Optimal Radio settings for 20m
Hi David, Tough question as propagation is tricky. For settings i have compression on and i have fooled with my mic gain, think its up 1 from factory but testing with a meter is better than just

Re: Optimal Radio settings for 20m
OK, if they're saying you're "in the noise" then the things to consider, without increasing power, that will help you get you further out of the noise are: 1. improvements to antenna to make the most

Re: Optimal Radio settings for 20m
Yes people are telling me I¡¯m at noise level and some can pick me out of the noise while others indicate they can¡¯t. ? I am mostly operating in a Park environment with trees not close to me. ?I

Re: Strange crackling noise?
I have two TX-500¡¯s, one makes a noisy static burst at start up, the other does not. ?It doesn¡¯t affect the operation of the radio. ?At first I was worried also.

Strange crackling noise?
Hi folks I have just received a replacement tx-500 for one that went faulty but I have notice a strange cracking noise when the radio is turned on. It goes once the radio has booted up. However I

Re: Optimal Radio settings for 20m
I have pretty much used all settings straight out of the box without an issue. Might it not be that you are operating in an environment that has a lot of em noise? Have you tried using it away from

Optimal Radio settings for 20m
Looking for some optimal radio settings to use when I¡¯m on 20 meters. ?I appear to be constantly ¡°in the noise¡± and I am not sure if it¡¯s the radio (10w) or my settings. ?I am using a

Does anyone know if Lab599 browses this group? I suspect not but I think a better way to raise visibility of a problem would be to make a short video showing the symptom and sending it with a

Re: Pan-adapter 50Mhz
I bought my tx-500 new from HRO in June of 2022. Love the transceiver. However,? I can confirm that I have also seen the behavior you described several times on several bands, including 20m. My unit
