I have watched your Xiegu G90 video about five times to help me improve my settings. I reeeealllly want this Lab 500. It looks like a nice tough radio! You are such a great Elmer!
I have had one of these since they were launched. Its a great radio. I use mine on SSB in the car. The transmit audio has good processing. I agree eith you about the CW weight. I think people who have used mechanical bug keys like a longer dah.
I've been considering this radio. I have a few concerns. The first that the audio chips keep burning out in some circumstances when using an external tuner in some circumstances. These chips are no longer in production! The second is with the bp500 fiasco. The batteries didn'tl charge properly, occasionally setting fires. That's why they became unobtainable. These plus the lack of support really disappointed me as I so wanted this radio.
Very nice and thorough. Haven't seen any nice in depth videos on the nuts and bolts of this radio. Would like your opinion or maybe a demo of tuning and how you use the display. Thanks again
The auto notch didn’t work on the one I had. Noise Blanker also was very ineffective. Mic would go dead and had to power cycle to get it back. Some good, some bad unfortunately.
I bought the TX-500 before I knew Morse code (got on the air with CW around the end of September), so it's nice to know that it's in good regard with a more veteran CW op. I can recommend to use a Nintendo Switch case for the TX-500, I think it needs to be for the original Switch (not the OLED), I believe that the case I use is not in production any more otherwise I would find a link. 73 de LB1KJ
Hi - it just means which side of zero beat you will hear the tone. In cases with QRM, it is sometimes beneficial to switch to reverse CW so you end up on the other side of zero beat. The other station will still hear you. It is basically the same as USB and LSB, but for CW.
Great video ! Soon getting my ham license here in Sweden 🙏

Well presented. Thanks for sharing your settings. Special thanks for the tip about adjusting side-tone volume at 21:15.

Thank you so much!! I was stuck on the CW speed and you explained it perfectly.

That's a great recommendation. Will get one myself. Thanks!
May I ask why you do not use squelch ?
Are there any other modes than CW ? who would want that ?
How did you buy this from Norway? Hvor kjøpte du radioen fra? Holder på med lisenskurset))) Great and thorough presentation! 73
Lab599 it's russian company. Big problem
So I have a KX-3 do I get the Yeasu FT DX10 or the Lab599 for my next radio?
Hello ---- So, what the fmuck is CW "reverse" ??
Hi - it just means which side of zero beat you will hear the tone. In cases with QRM, it is sometimes beneficial to switch to reverse CW so you end up on the other side of zero beat. The other station will still hear you.

@@techstuffandmore Very good----Thank you 😬
@SkyWire88 Are you not licensed?
If so, you would know, ...!
It's the opposite side-(band) of CW, like USB and LSB is.

You should have mentioned that LAB599 that has designed and manufactured the Discovery is a russian company.
