[drakelist] L75, burning smell
[EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hi all, I found the problem of the burning smell and the clue is surprising but actually to be expected... After carefull examination of the L75, I concluded the smell did NOT come from it. Then I suspected the tuner, the MN2700 but also no typical odour coming from there During reassembling the setup I coincidently checked the cable between the L75 and the tuner and that was it! I was using a RG58 cable with BNC connectors and adaptors from PL to BNC, thinking that should do on HF. Well I can assure you folks, IT DOESN'T hi!! I now use a piece of Ecoflex 10 and two PL-plugs and I have a fresh odour in the shack :) Many thanks for all suggestions, 73 Dick PA2DW -- On Behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ --

Ron Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Bert, E-bay and greed has taken its tole on the hobby. Years past I was only able to find a few pieces for my radio room via e-bay, and gave reasonable prices then. But since about 3-5 years ago the auction sites have made the hobby much less enjoyable. It wouldn't even be so bad if the descriptions were not fraudulent. I bought a whole box of tubes that were "new old stock" with writing on the boxes saying what was wrong with each tube. That was my last e-bay purchase. Oh, and e-bay was useless in helping me. 73, Ron -- On Behalf of Ron Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ --

Re: [drakelist] TR-7 problem: won't tune even 500 KHz segments
"Gary Poland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Tom, The bandswitch when rotated programs the digital control board. The digital control board tied through the DR-7 board then instructs the translator board what to do as far as band segments and in band logic. I would try pulling the DR-7 board and reseating the digital control and translator boards. Also sometimes if the DR-7 is seated to far into the translator board, aft left corner, the pins will short and cause problems. probably also try cleaning the bandswitch with deoxit and a cotton swab. 73, Gary -- On Behalf of "Gary Poland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Submissions:drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ --

Jim W7RY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I have had the exact opposite experience. Ebay has enhanced my enjoyment of the hobby.

That is what makes if fun and interesting! Sorry that you had a bad experience on Ebay.

Re: [drakelist] collector
I had to go look at those boxes too! I can't believe someone is that much challenged mentally! I am using a TR-4 I got a little while back for $75.00 and it works like new. IF I do buy anything from ebay sellers, I do it with the idea that it wont work, and look like crap. That's just my opinion, and of course I could be wrong. 73 de K5VSE Mike-K5VSEFormerly WB6VSE, senior tech, amateur divisionSBE/Linear Systems, Watsonville, CAAll out going mail scanned with Norton AntiVirus 2005On 3.922 nightly Restoring and using Drake Radios!

[drakelist] WTB MAcom MA4P4002D pin diode and Magnecraft W104MIP42 relay for Scott Prathers TR7 mods
"Jim Pruitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hello everyone. I just purchased the pc boards from FAR for Scott Prather's TR7 mods that appeared in summer 92 Communications Quarterly and in KB9AT's book "A Family Affair: The RL Drake Story" and am finding that the MA4P4002D pin diode is not obtainable. Richardson electronics has a few MA4P4002B-042 but it does not have the power dissipation of the "D" version and I want to run Rtty. Would anyone have one of those pin diodes they would be willing to part with? I know that there was some discussion on this list or the Elecraft list that suggested using the 1N4007 diode but Scott indicated that he did not think that would work that well. I asked about the MA4P1200 that DownEastMicrowave.com sells but Scott thought the recovery time was not good enough. The MA4P4002B-042 will work but may not handle the power needed. Also, I am trying to find the Magnecraft W104MIP42 reed relay for the qsk board. I found 3 places that have them. 2 places want $60 each and the other wants $40. Does anyone have one of these relays they would be willing to part with at a reasonable price? As a side note, I thought the Aromat RSD12 spdt reed relay for the front end board would be easy to find but I was wrong. I found that they have also been discontined. Rich Measures AG6K bought a bunch of them when Aromat informed him that the relay was being discontinued so he has those for sale at around $10 each but that was the only source that I have found so far.
