Re: [drakelist] R-7A/RV-75 Question

2004-01-08 Thread Grant Youngman

 Hello,
  I have recently obtained an RV-75 remote VFO for my R-7A.  I
  notice
 that when the RV-75 is plugged in to the adapter on the rear of the
 R-7A, and turned on to control receive frequency, received signals
 take on a very rough-sounding tone.  

If things are working properly, there should be no discernable 
difference on received signal purity with the RV-75.

It sounds like there is a problem either in the connection between 
the two units, or in the RV-75 itself.

I use an RV-75 with a TR-7/R-7 combination, and have never 
experienced a problem like you describe.

Grant/NQ5T

 Can anyone tell the value of the resistor that goes in the am slot on
the
 R-4C?  150?  150k?  thanks  Dan

[drakelist] Drake TR-4 LSB Filter

2004-01-08 Thread Ken, WA2LBI

Good afternoon to all,

I just acquired a TR-4 today that appears to be in good physical shape. The
previous owner had received it in a non-working condition (unknown what is
wrong) and removed the LSB filter to repair another TR-4 he owned. No other
parts were removed nor work performed on the rig while in his hands. So what I
have is a good looking TR-4 that is inoperative for an unknown reason(s) and
has no LSB filter. I haven't brought it home yet so I don't know what it looks
like inside. I should get to that tonight. I'll see if I can get it going on
USB (assuming that filter is good).

While I have worked on a number of B and C lines I have no experience with
the transceivers nor the availability of parts. Before I begin work on this
unit I need to know if the LSB (and USB) filters are available and what I can
expect to pay for them. If the price is too high it may not make sense for me
to repair the rig. If that is the case I may part out the pieces or offer the
rig as a parts donor.

Your advise is appreciated.

Ken, WA2LBI

[drakelist] Trade for TR-7?

2004-01-08 Thread Bill Carpenter



I would love to add a TR-7 or TR-7A in good to 
excellentcondition to my Drake collection. I would prefer it have 
the CW filter and power supply. The catch is I need to trade as funds and 
space are a little low right now. I have an Icom IC-718 I purchased new 2 
years ago that I can trade. It has an Inrad 400 Hz CW filter and the Icom 
UT-106 DSP installed. The 718 is in great shape - looks and works like 
brand new.

Anyone wanta swap? Please e-mail me [EMAIL PROTECTED]

73, Bill


Re: [drakelist] am resistor

2004-01-08 Thread KLØS

Dan -- my R4C (SN 29XXX version) schematic says 150 ohms...I double checked
by looking at the resistor that I removed many, many years ago and it in
fact is a 150 ohm 1W resistor.

[drakelist] RV-75 and R-7 problem

2004-01-08 Thread K9SQG

I have just completed some testing and wonder if anybody else has observed 
this problem when using an RV-75 with the R-7 or R-7A receiver; the use of the 
TR-7 or TR-7A transcieving with the receiver has no effect on test results.

The R-7 or R-7A never has the PTO completely shut off when using the RV-75 
for frequency control.  When the RV-75 controls the frequency, the R-7 or R-7As 
PTO always controls a frequency that is present, although only at an S1 to S2 
level.  For example, let's say you turn on the crystal calibrator on the R-7 
and listen at 7300 and set the PTO to hear the tone of the calibrator.  Then 
switch on the RV-75, whatever frequency the RV-75 is tuned to will be heard, but 
ALWAYS in the background will be the tone from the calibrator, at about an 
S1-2.  If you turn the calibrator off, what ever is on that frequency will then 
be heard at an S1-2 level, in addition to whatever is being heard on the 
frequency controlled by the RV-75.

I know what you're thinking now so let me provide added information.  I've 
done the test and have mixed and matched the following...three different RV-75s, 
two R-7s, and one R-7A.  Since they all have the same problem, I conclude 
that it isn't just one receiver nor just one RV-75.  What is the probability that 
all three receivers and/or all three RV-75s all have the same problem?  My 
conclusion is that that either all three R-7s have the problem and/or all three 
RV-75s have the problem.  

So my question is, has somebody else had this problem and corrected it?  If 
so, would you be so kind as to share your insights into the problem?  Right 
now, I don't know if all three receivers are the cause of the problem or if all 
three RV-75s are the cause.  But I'd like to fix all of them.

Thanks and 73s,

Evan

Hello,

Does anyone have a spare newer cabinet for the SP75? I was able to change out all my cabinets to the new style on my 7 line except the SP75. Thanks and 73
