I have had my BP500 for a little bit now and I love it. As to batteries, check out a you tube channel called "Project Farm" he did a real good test and comparison of the

Re: Lab599 Power Input
The max a tx500 should draw is 3A at full output. If you limit the power supply to say 1A the radio will not output full power and may do stupid things like reboot because it doesn't have the power it

Re: Lab599 Power Input
I believe 3A max refers to the fuse. In any case, your Samlex will work fine!

Lab599 Power Input
Hello,

Re: BP500 Questions
for what its worth:
I THINK the max cell size (2000 or 4000 or 6000mah) should depend on the BMS in the bp500, my guess would be 6000 is fine but would email support and ask. I would expect them to

Re: SSB on 10m - strong feedback not heard on other bands
All good recommendations.
I¡¯m using the ?W2ENY adapters, so the connector cables are fixed length. The EFHW is typically 25¡¯ or more off the ground using an arborist throw line/weight setup. The

Re: SSB on 10m - strong feedback not heard on other bands
Matt,
First , I don't remember what was offered during the earlier version of
this thread.
Relative to the feedback, at 10M, the length of your cables that are
connected to the TX500 can be

Re: SSB on 10m - strong feedback not heard on other bands
Since there is no stud to attach a wire to the TX-500, maybe something like this could work. It has an option to add a counterpoise

Re: SSB on 10m - strong feedback not heard on other bands
Just reread some previous replies above.
If one were to attach a counterpoise to the TX-500, where would you attach it and how long should it be?
Thanks.

Resurrecting this thread to report an update.
Over two SOTA activations this weekend, 10m worked like a champ on CW and SSB. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve successfully made 10 QSOs on the TX-500. SWR

Re: Minimum Power at 10%
I think getting more power output when you want it is not necessarily a bad thing, but it would be nice to reduce it more than it is able to now.

Re: Minimum Power at 10%
Hi Norm,
