[drakelist] T4XB erratic output
I've been noticing something strange with my T4XB lately. While working CW, my output will drop to as low as 10 or 15 watts until I turn the gain up to 2 o'clock. At that point it seems normal. Without turning up the gain, if I check my output in "tune" mode I get full out. I know the manual mentions a difference in CW and tune mode but is it normal to have to change the gain setting after properly setting it in the first place/ I am running a little fan over the finals. Thanks!

Re: [drakelist] INJECTOR CABLE
Jim - The original cables were gray "audio patch" (used for audio until "premium" cables came along) cables about 36" long. One of these cables had a small label "INJ". It looked identical to the rest, except the insulation in the phono connectors was white instead of the phenolic (brown) color of the others. I believe that later cable sets may have ALL been "INJ" quality (low capacitance) cable, eliminating the need to label them. Only way to determine this would be to measure the capacitance. RG-62 is usually black, and closer to the size of your TV cable (RG-6) coax. It is considerably larger than the original cables and much less flexible. I have seen RG-62 cable in colors other than black that was sold for the computer market, but I don't think I have seen gray. 73, Garey - K4OAH Atlanta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: "Drake originally supplied a low capacity cable specifically for the INJ cable, with the rest being standard audio cables" .

Re: [drakelist] Blue filter gel (C-line)
I bought some of this stuff awhile back, but can't remember where I sent off for it. I did it because someone posted that this is what Drake used and they also mentioned where it could be purchased. But, I was dissappointed. It is NOT the same as what Drake used. The film is much thinner then what Drake used. I would not buy anymore of it myself. However, the clor looked pritty good. I kind of dissapointed me to have someone say this is what the mfg used and then when I got it, it was not even close to being original, I think I paid something like $30 for this stuff. More then likely if you used it, you would have to "stiffin" it with some clear plastic.

A previous posting suggested that Drake actually used a Rosco filter material known as Roscolene #853. I have been in touch with Rosco (UK) and they say this is a discontinued gel series. Does anyone know of a source of the original Roscolene #853, or if not, the nearest equivalent gel in one of Rosco's (or other manufacturer's) current range? Rosco tell me that there is no direct equivalent, but someone else may know of a satisfactory match? Thanks and 73 David G4GTP
Re: [drakelist] Drake 2B
Hello, "Freeberg, Scott (STP)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>! >Yes, it would have been nice if there had been a matching transmitter for the 2A, or >2B. I wonder if there had been any talk about that at the time. I have always had, in the back of my mind, a project: take a junker 2-NT (chassis wise) and rebuild it into a 2-B style case to match a 2-B. Then maybe build a VFO into a 2-BS speaker case.. would be nice to have a real "2-B Line" ! --Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Submissions:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - subscribe drakelist in body Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ --

[drakelist] Improving T4X_B CW tone
Verifying on a scope the waveform for a T4X_B CW signal, I can see an AM modulation in the carrier, probably due to sidetone oscillator ( +/- 1KHz) that is active during CW key down. The modulation index is low but sufficient to conclude that the signal isn´t pure. I will appreciate some comments for this fact and how to solve. My other rig TR4-CW has the same behaviour.

[drakelist] SPR-4 from Hagenuk
Hello, I recently acquired an SPR-4 repackaged and sold by Hagenuk as a marine receiver. Does anyone have any additional info about this receiver i.eHagenuk manual with pictures, how many were sold... etc. Any info would be appreciated.
