hello chaps.
I have a problem with my Drake 4 line and would appreciate some assistance or ideas. I have a R4C and T4XC, the rx is good and the R4C appears to work normally but the transmitter will not put out any power and when I place the transceive switch over to the XMTR position the audio goes all warbly - almost auroral hi. The Transmitter will not put out any power at all, I get a small lift on the meter when I initially tune but that soon goes off and I cannot replicate it. There appears to be no difference on the recovered 'Warbly' audio when I switch between LSB & USB although the PTO does work and appears to tune the transmitter up and down the band ok. If I attempt to tune or spot then the tx relay chatters constantly with no discernable movement on the meter. This also does this when I try to tune up. Prior to being mothballed for a couple of months it all worked FB. The only other change is that I ordered a new set of connecting cables when I sold my other 4line. The cables all check out OK and I have repeatedly checked the manual re connections with to no effect. I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem with any of their Drake equipment. I would be very grateful of any pointers or help Kind regards, 73 Chris M5LRO
