from Lab599 support: During transmission, additional peaks on the panadapter appear when the input is overloaded by the audio signal. The correct level can be set by enableing the MIC level indication on the TX-500 display (METR function). The level should approach the maximum but not exceed it.

(You may remove 30m and instead use 12m – your call). Tilt-over hinge not required. You can easily do this without constructing such a contraption – however I wanted to keep mine off the ground for ease-of-maintenance and ability to change out various antennas.

For a first-time entry into the HF/VHF portable transceiver market, I think Lab 599 hit a home run. Nicely done and with a unique, novel approach. Very well thought out. I give it 5 stars. With eHam.net Reviews subscriptions, you can receive all messages posted to a product via email.
The Lab599 TX500 is an excellent, rugged QRP rig. I compared the Rx to the KX2 and could find no differences. The antenna used will determine success much more than the rig. I have worked coast to coast with a resonant 40m EFHW. The TX500 is also excellent for FT8.

The Discovery TX-500 is the first portable ham radio which can actually survive the rigors of field operations, in rough weather, and conditions. I had the pleasure of testing this radio for 3 weeks during August 2020. It was an absolute pleasure to use, without the normal worries of damaging the rig, during some forest mishap.
