Hello Operators.
In todays video we take the Lab599 Discovery TX-500 QRP Ham Radio to the field for an off grid review of this new and interesting radio. Since there are already ham radio reviews of this qrp radio showing features, I thought we would concentrate on design, modularity, and ruggedness. By the end of the video, there should be no question about this rigs survivability, as a rugged qrp radio, for less than ideal portable radio operations.
