Today we get to this at this new TX500 QRP Radio from Lab599 in Russia. This is a slim and sleek looking QRP radio that is great for SOTA and backpacking.
The Discovery TX-500 is an ultra compact all-mode transceiver ideal for travelling and portable use.
It’s compact size and light weight means that you can take this radio with you to remarkable places while creating unforgettable experiences.
The strong case offers protection against moisture and dust, ensuring the use of TX-500 in extreme conditions. While a sharp monochrome display will allow you to clearly see the information in either bright sunshine or low light, thanks to a multi-mode backlight.
The transceiver parameters and functions will also make it possible to successfully use the unit at a Home Station or in a Mobile/Portable Environment.
Record-low current consumption in reception mode (up to 110 mA) will extend the battery life, providing the user with longer operating time between charges.
Because the TX-500 is a software-defined radio (SDR), you can expand its capabilities using computer applications. New features will be added with free firmware updates.
The TX-500 Discovery has an integrated high-performance spectrum analyzer, allowing you to see signals before you hear them.
