[drakelist] Question about Drake TR-4's
Hello, I'm new to the Drake forum and have a couple of questions that I hope that someone can answer. What is the major differences between the various TR-4 versions. IE TR-4, TR-4C etc. For general operating , it the C-Line (R-4, T-04) radios better perfomers than the TR-4 transcivers? I enjoy operating, but do not spend enough time on the air. I spend about half of the time on CW and half on SSB. I'm debating on what kind of rig to get. Any advice in this direction would be very helpful. I spend a lot of my spare time, restoring old boat-anchors, mostly Hallicrafters receivers such as the SX-100, SX-25 Etc Would also consider a swap of a good original Drake for maybe a nice SX-25 or possibly an SX-101. I would like to do the service including recapping my-self, so would like to get a rig that is original.. Thank you in advance for any informartion you have to offer. Best, DW Holtman WB7SSN

It most likely was located on the 2nd IF / Audio board. It is Q1113 a 2N3904 (the last stage before the audio IC) who caused a same kind of "noise and rumble" in the TR7A of PA3AJI. The replacement is a BC549, a low noise type transistor. I have a TR7 that tends to break into osc. in the audio area. The sound is hear on RX and is also present faintly on TX. A Drake engineer said he had never heard of it happening before and could not find it when the radio was sent to Drake for service. The sound begins after about 30 minutes of use and can be stopped by keying the mic but sometimes it will not stop at all. Anyone heard of this happening before and if you have what did you do to fix it. Serial number of radio is a little on the plus side of 4000 I don't have the extender boards so working on the radio if a bit difficult for this type of thing.

The FISTS CW Club, 4th edition, went to press just after Bill Pierpont passed away (2003). Here are some changes included in the 4th edition: New Cover Design Forward by Ken Pierpont (Bill's brother) High Speed Appendix added Refined book design Professionally edited ISBN Ah...but the "meat" is the same. The fifth edition will contain numerous changes/refinements. The site you refer to as the FISTS site is actually my personal Web site. I created the 3rd and 4th editions for FISTS CW Club, with much help from friends. My site is listed as the Official Download Site for this edition. I misread it as stating that it was the official download site for Peirpont's work...sorry for the confusion. If someone wants to create a book from Pierpont's "original" text, they are free to do so. I think the Canadian site has Pierpont's original early text without the High Speed Appendix - I'm not sure. I know the Canadian one doesn't have the high speed index. FISTS CW Club sells the 4th edition at cost ($11.50 shipped CONUS). Unfortunately, it is sold out (again). I find reading the book a much more pleasurable experience than trying to read it on a computer monitor or even printed out. I used to enjoy booksno room any more(g). There were several versions of the third edition that were available for download from my Web site. I don't want other Web sites publishing our work as they could distribute a dated version. I can understand that I hope I answered all your questions.

You can download the 3rd edition for FREE as a PDF from my Web site at http://www.qsl.net/n9bor/n0hff.htm So, what's the difference between the Second edition and the later ones? As far as I know, Pierpoint stated in the Second edition, which the Canadian site lists as the third edition. "This book may be freely reproduced and published, but only on a no-profit basis in order to make it as widely available as possible to those who need it...N0HFF" And so, I am confused by the statement on the the FISTS page...proclaiming it as the "Official" download siteand really perplexed by the words "You may link to this page, but please do not put the book file on your server." It would appear that there are several sources for the book. The one I put up is slightly different, in that you can download a complied HTML versionwhich is smaller and faster than either the html or pdf versions...but, the downside is that it's only going to work on an IBM style computer. 73,Thom-k3hrn www.zerobeat.net Home of QRP Web Ring, Drakelist home page, Free Classified Ads for amateur radio, QRP IRC channel Elecraft Owners Database www.tlchost.net/ Web Hosting as low as 3.49/month -- On Behalf of "Thom R.

"Rein A. Smit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang -- Hi Brian, Those filters are not for the R4C, but for the Drake T4X transmitter. I have the same pair here. They can be used for the R4C as a sort of roofing filter. Though the in and output impedances are 50 ohm. I think. The present wide band filter in the R4C is an high impedance filter from what I understand. I asked a question about those filters a few weeks ago on this reflector but never got an answer. 73 Rein W6/PA0ZN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HELLO ALL DRAKE LOVER'S i have what i thank are some filters for a R4C i had a long time ago but im not shore what thay go too so this is what thay say on them NETWORK SCIENCES INC PHOENIX ARIZONA 7304 5.645-2.4U PUT ON WITH A MARKER ON THE SIDE SAY'S 5648.575 NOW THE OTHER ONE I HAVE IS THE SAME BUT IS SAY'S 7304 5.645-2.4L 5644.900 _ I JUST HAVE THEM NOT DOING NE THANG WITH THEM SO THAY ARE FOR SELL TO NE ONE THAT MY NEED THEM -- On Behalf of "Rein A.
