The Lab599 TX-500MP is a rugged 160–6 meter portable ham radio with 10W output, an internal antenna tuner, and full support for QRP SSB and digital modes. In this video, I show why this grid-down, disaster-ready HF manpack deserves serious attention from both ham radio operators and preppers. We’ll cover the specs, key differences from the original TX-500, battery and charging options, portable SSB operation, digital modes with the LiNK500MP, and why the TX-500MP is the HF radio built for real-world resilience.
