"A side note on 18650s, having 6 spares in a case will definitely be part of my kit once I get my official battery pack." The Amazon photos show the 18650s are welded together. Are yours held in by

Phil and all, The F3AL250V fuse is advertised as 3 amp, quick blow. It matches the markings and size for the fuse that was shipped with my TX-500 (inside the fuse holder that is part of the included

Very cool. That is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you. Once my supplies come in I'll post pictures of the complete setup.

Hello, BRW how many A are they???? tnx 73 qro HB9GUR

I have a ratcheting crimp tool for butt connectors that works quite well. I cover them with adhesive lined heat shrink and that takes the strain off the connector if the cord gets pulled. When I made

Amazon also has a 10 pack for $6.50.

My TX-500 fuse holder contained an F3AL250V 5x20 mm glass fuse. I was able to order spare fuses at a reasonable price on eBay. I got a package of 10 for $6.35 US including shipping. Brian - K3ES

I'd like to elaborate on the bag and protective solution.? The local 511 shop was kind enough to let me bring in my TX-500 for fitting. I will be designing a case for the radio. The solar panel fits

While we wait for the much anticipated battery pack for this wonderful radio... I did a weeks worth of figuring out the best battery alternative. Here is what I came up with to hold me over. Figure

At least yours are a lot closer with the method you used. Mine are almost the same readings on all bands. S 4 with the Elecraft signal source pre amp off, S 7/8 pre amp on. Thanks for checking.
