What a great forum at Dayton! Good to meet up with you all.

By now most everyone should have their logbooks. I have a few more going in the mail today for those checks I just received while I was away.

Since the USPS was not nice to some of your packages, please send me an email direct. I will be more than happy to "fix" their error by sending another 1, 2, or 5 books to you. I DO HAVE EXTRAS.

Actually I have 70+ extra logbooks. Some folks did not pay, and some did not sell at the forum at Dayton. They will be available for sale next week. I'm holding off to make sure all the ones sent have arrived safely.

The price will not change. The payment info remains the same (see www.wc4r.com/drakelogbook.htm).

First come first served on this next round of orders. Send your requests now. Thank you everyone.

Mine arrived in great shape.  But then again I used the JRPS (Joe 
Roth Postal Service) as I picked them up at the Drake forum on Saturday.


THANK YOU Joe for the nice job on the log books!

And THANK YOU to all involved with the Drake forum again this 
year.  I had a great time and I noticed that the forum room was 
filled to capacity this year.  Lots of interest.

gang,

the series of reported damage in mailing is making me nervous ...

what's going on?? Is da postal folks hiring illegal aliens?? (smile)

I am ready to use the ol' hand entry method once again after doing 
"electronic logging".


It was good in past, it's still good.

Watching my mail box ...

Joe,
I did get mine OK, but the envelope was badly torn. Tear proof USPS envelopes 
are available. I use them all the time and they are water resistant...

I would respectfully submit that the "reminders" are something that
Joe can dothe contract is between the folks on the list and Joe...certainly 
not between any of us and them.


I would think that if Joe really needs our help, he'd ask for it.

Ahem.now that I have your attention, is there someone out there in
Drakeland that can help me with my R4B? When switched to NB, the audio
becomes a bit rough. The audio is fine in all other settings of the
function switch.

I'm certain I have seem something about this on the list in the past,
but maybe not.

any pointers would be appreciated!

Maybe you should find a better algorithm for your
count.  There are 3 5-land calls with nothing in the
"paid" column, but one of them (at least) picked up and paid at
Dayton, and you appear to have missed the significance.  
Perhaps there were others like that.

I'm not sure I understand your question.  The Noise Blanker works by 
turning the receiver IF  _OFF_  for the duration of a noise pulse.  It 
works very well on very narrow spikes such as generated by auto spark 
plugs.  As the noise pulses get wider, or closer together, they begin to 
"punch" bigger and bigger "holes" in the audio.  If you think of a 
single tone signal such as a carrier, if there is a noise source present 
and you turn on the NB, your nice clean tone will become very raspy as 
it is interrupted by the NB to "blank" each pulse of noise.


There is a graphical representation of this process on the cover of the 
R-4B manual.  The top circle shows the signal with noise pulses present, 
and depressing the IF gain because of the AVC.   The lower circle shows 
the same signal, with the NB on, and shows the "holes" that are punched 
in the signal.  The advantage is that the noise pulses are no longer 
depressing the AVC, allowing the desired signal to be much "bigger", 
albeit with a few holes punched in it.  Obviously if the noise pulses 
are wide and or closer together the holes get big enough to blank most 
of the signal as well.


The NB does not have any real effect on noise such as static crashes 
from thunderstorms, etc. as the noise is such a wide "pulse".


Sorry if this is something you already know, but we gotta start 
somewhere!  :-)

Bill, 

My 10 logbooks showed up in two shipments four or five days apart so
don't despair yet.

Also, the USPS had totally mangled both envelopes but the log books
themselves were OK.  I can't imagine how USPS can be so hard on stuff.

The logs are great and I'm happy to have them!

Thanks Gary!

I should have explained it better, but first I had to get someone's 
attention! 


The audio on my R4B is just fine until I turn the function switch to NB. 
It's not
because the noise blanker has any noise to blank. The roughness actually 
sounds
as if there is an extra carrier inserted. You know how audio sounds when 
you approach zero
beat? The "normal" SSB audio has a character like it's almost at zero 
beat. I hear a beating
in the audio, I guess you could say. Since everything else is normal 
when the function
switch is in ANY position other than "NB", I am assuming that whatever 
circuitry is switched

in to do the noise blanking, is causing the problem.

I can troubleshoot this. I can read schematics just fine. I have been a 
broadcast engineer
for over 35 years, and a licensed amateur for 43 years. I don't know 
everything of course,
hence my questions. I was just wondering if anyone had this experience 
with their R4Bs.

I'm lazy and thought someone could tell me how to fix it!!!

I'll have two nice R4Bs for sale soon if anyone is interested.

OK.  Well we have a broad range of experience on here so I usually start 
out simple!  :-)


V9 and V10 are only used for the NB.  V9 (12BA6) is the Noise Amp, and 
in the later "B" version is AGC controlled.  The NB switch only grounds 
the cathode of the IF shunt section of V10 (12AX7) so really doesn't 
change anything else.  You could try pulling V9 (all filaments are in 
parallel) and then switching on the NB.  Pulling V10 doesn't really 
prove anything since with it out, the NB switch doesn't do anything 
other than hang a high resistance voltage divider across the +150 line.  
I haven't seen any consistent problem with the NB circuit, although 
Drake did make some changes to the AVC control of V9, indicating there 
may have been a problem.  Does signal strength seem to have any effect 
on the problem?


The only thing that comes to mind is that the 12BA6 is prone to gas or 
grid emission, and the 12AX7 at V10 does sometimes have heater-cathode 
leakage issues.  Pulling and then perhaps substituting those two is 
where I'd start.


What is the s/n of the unit you have?  The AVC change on V9 was made at 
s/n 10501.  The NB circuit was unchanged otherwise through all versions 
from s/n 7000 on.


One more "off the wall" thought.  The switch tag that turns on the NB is 
right next to the tag that turns on the calibrator.  The calibrator puts 
out a nice strong signal at 50 kHz, right at the third IF.  
Contamination of the gap by spray contact cleaners, or a worn drive hole 
in the switch wafer may let it go just a little bit too far?   (I SAID 
it was off the wall, but in 45 years of working on Drake gear I've seen 
more than a few off the wall problems!  :-)


Let us know what you find!

[drakelist] R4B NB issue (was dang logbooks)

Dan -

Thanks Gareywow! You know your Drakesthe serial number is 10474 
and there is
no difference in signal strength between NB in and out. You have given 
me some
great advice as to where to start looking. I appreciate it very much. 
This RX had
not been powered up for a year or maybe more. And if I'm not imagining 
things, I would
say that the problem is going away slowly. I'll check the tubes and 
de-oxit the switches

and tube sockets.

I have a second R4B to go through, so I may have more questions.

Thanks again Garey...you da man!

My first five logbooks just arrived a few minutes ago - USPS
didn't even bend them too much.  (I have a fairly big rural mailbox, though)
Anyway, you really outdid yourself!  I was not expecting the quality product
I just received!  What a keepsake!  I had no idea there would be so much
historical material included with the lines and spaces.  Put me in with the
guys who will pick up on any books you get stuck with.  Many thanks for
providing this addition to us Drake lovers.

What a great forum at Dayton! Good to meet up with you all.

Since the USPS was not nice to some of your packages, please send me an

[drakelist] Drake Parts sourch

[Terry Hamilton]

Hey, all - 

 

I've run across a NOS (new, old stock) Drake parts source.  It's one of the
stores on Ebay called "The Man's Amateur Parts Supply."   The owner, someone
called TR7dude, has at least 10 pages of parts listed, with photos.  The
"Buy It Now" prices aren't all that bad, even.  For those of you looking for
PCB's for a TR7 or a hard to get Drake crystal, this may be just the thing
to get some of those rigs back on the air.  

 

You may all already know about this guy - I can hardly believe he's got such
a large supply of unused parts - Where did he get this stuff?

The wire colors vary so I cannot just say how to connect it by color. If
you remove the bottom, you should find a wiring diagram for that mic
glued to the inside bottom and a terminal strip that connects the cable.
If you don't have a diagram inside, you'll have to poke with a VOM. On
the connector to the T4X itself, The PTT is the tip, the mic element is
the ring, and the shield is obviously ground/common. They are high
impedance, but I don't remember if mine is crystal or not. I bought it
new 30 years ago. When did I get old?

Greetings, all:
 
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a D104 that will work for a Drake
T4X?  I have the unamplified model G.  OH!  And how do you
test the element in it, or know whether it’s ceramic, crystal, etc?

They are VERY high impedance.  Terry, if the mic sounds too "tinny" or seems
lacking in low end on the air, you can try putting a 470K resistor in series
with the audio line.  This is an old trick to "mellow out" the D104 sound. 
Google for D104 abd you will find all sorts of info.

Of course, if you have a deep (bass) voice, the stock crystal element works 
pretty well - at 
least it does for me.

John Kriner still works for Drake or did a year ago.

He bought a large amount of the surplus parts that Drake was dumping about 7
years ago.  Steve Morgan, K8FFO had a bunch of it and the Drake club at
Drake got a bunch of it.  I have not seen Steve selling anything since John
started so John is mostly the only source of large amounts of NOS Drake
parts.  As mentioned earlier he is also a Drake repair tech for himself as a
side business.  These new parts were what was left in Drakes parts shelves
when they discontinued service/support for the 4 line and then the 7 line.
For a year or so Drake was selling those parts to us through their website
at about 25 cents on the dollar and then Steve, the Drake club, and John
bought what was left.

I will also echo the fact that John is a great guy to deal with and will do
you right.

Thank you.

Jim Pruitt

  I have no idea where he gets his parts from except for maybe parting out
rigs. ( i hope not)
but I have purchased from him, and he seams pretty good to deal with, no
problems here.

Hey, all -

I've run across a NOS (new, old stock) Drake parts source.  It's one of the
stores on Ebay called "The Man's Amateur Parts Supply."   The owner, someone
called TR7dude, has at least 10 pages of parts listed, with photos.  The
"Buy It Now" prices aren't all that bad, even.  For those of you looking for
PCB's for a TR7 or a hard to get Drake crystal, this may be just the thing
to get some of those rigs back on the air.

You may all already know about this guy - I can hardly believe he's got such
a large supply of unused parts - Where did he get this stuff?
