I just got this in the mail. .5-108 MHz AM/FM/SSB. About $40 Amazon. Fun.

Wow, that outta but good for receiving a CB at maybe up to a couple hundred yards!

It's very sensitive. I was listening to a group on 40 meters the other night sitting in my backyard.

I got mine from Raddy. First time ordering from them. Took a little longer than ordering from the US but I received the package in good condition.

May go with amazon since they have a good return policy. Only $40 bucks more. Still don't know if the tarriffs are in effect as that would increase the cost.

The Lab599 TX-500MP will be released soon and that is a handheld 160-6m 10w HF radio.

I have been very interested since it was announced more than a year ago, unfortunately nothing but cricket noise from Lab599 themselves. Has there been a recent update? I've also been emailing them periodically about the BP-550 (upgraded BP-500) for quite some time and the emails all go unanswered. I know they are Russian and moved the business to UAE after the Russian invasion to avoid sanctions, but it seems they are still struggling with some issues in maintaining the brand. Hopefully it's just customer relations. Their radios are great.

Maybe the Ukrainian military put in an order and they are having second thoughts.
