BP-550 Battery Pack is designed to fit TX-500 series transceivers and provide power with replaceable 18650 Li-Ion batteries.

It supports charging via the USB Type-C port and can be powered from various DC sources with a voltage range of 13 to 50 V (such as consumer electronics power supplies, vehicle on-board networks, solar panels, etc.). The device has a LED indicator to show the remaining battery charge and exchange various data with connected radio to display additional information on the transceiver screen.

Battery case is made of impact-resistant plastic by die casting, and its power connectors, controls, and indicators are sealed with rubber rings to protect against splashes and dust. Folding legs provide a comfortable tilt and prevent accidental activation during transportation. Aluminum heat sink ensures optimal temperature conditions for the transceiver with the battery pack installed.

The compact iambic paddle key Lab599 CW-500 is designed
specifically for the Discovery TX-500 transceiver — attaches directly to the GX-12 connector and does not require additional connections. The manipulator frame is made of stainless steel, has high rigidity and securely attachment to the transceiver connector with a fixing nut. The combination of the transceiver's weight, rigid mounting and the anatomical shape of the manipulator (the paddles are located at an angle of 45 degrees to the transceiver body) allows you to comfortably operate the manipulator with one hand. The use of polymer bearings and powerful neodymium magnets in the design ensure high smoothness and responsiveness of operation. The levers of the key have independent and simple adjustment of the gap between the contacts.
