Re: [drakelist] Any disadvantages to using R-4A with T-4XB?

2007-10-14 Thread Tom Bowman
Hi Garey,

Thanks very much for your complete answer. Here's what I found out:

>
> First question is what is the serial number of your R-4A?

The R-4A serial number is 3956 with no letter behind it.

>
> What is the letter at the end of the R-4B serial number?

The R-4B is 15359 with G behind the number.

What is the letter at the end of the T-4XB serial number?

The T-4XB is 10382 with R behind the number.

BTW, I want to transceive with this pair so the color code is important. The
R-4A has no color code on the crystals.
The R-4B has a red stripe on a crystal next to the crystal calibrator under
the chassis. None of the other crystals are color coded.
And the T-4XB has a red stripe on one of five crystals under the chassis.

The letters are a color code for the Carrier Oscillator and BFO crystals
> in the Tx and Rx.  Ideally, the letters (and color stripes on the
> crystals themselves, CHECK!) are the same in Tx and Rx.


My plan is to keep one of the receivers and sell the other. Will either of
these two receivers work on transceive without problems with the T-4XB?

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer this.

Tom, WA3REY

Hi Gene,
 I saw your very nice B line, Think it was you, fairly
tall good looking guy with a mustache? Located in the
lower section of Deerfield, row 2 ?.  I already
have a B line :-)
Not as nice as yours, but passable. I was going
to ask you how much, but figured it was really
expensive.

If you were at Deerfield, I think I saw the same key marked

Howard..just actually looked..
There is a switch on the R-4c to toggle between 120 V and 240V  -- probably
the same.  Fuse is near it.

Hi all,
Would like to use my newly acquired R-4A as the receiver in the TR-4 
station.  What connections are to be made between?  There are two RCA jacks 
on the rear panel of the chasis of the TR-4 just west of the power plug. 
There seems to be a mod of the R-4A:  Where there once was a slide switch 
(left side, below the middle lower case screw), there are now what seem to 
be two 1/8" jacks.

Could anyone tell me about the mod and the connections I need to make?

Thanks lots.

Howard -

The two RCA jacks on the TR-4 are MUTE (closest to the side) and ANT.  
They should be patched to the like-labeled jacks on the R-4A.


The slide switch on the left rear side of the TR-4 is pushed towards the 
rear of the chassis to use the external receiver, and forward to use the 
internal receiver of the TR-4.


As for the mod on the R-4A, no telling..   The slide switch and 
nearby crystal socket were to be used to crystal control the receiver, 
with the switch selecting between PTO and crystal control.  Based on 
where they are on the chassis, I'd guess a tap for an external counter, 
but they could be anything.  You'd have to trace the internal cable to 
see where it goes!

Hi Howard,

The slide switch on the TR4 was to use the TR4 as a transceiver or
transmitter only. (Don't know about the switch on the R-4a)  The RCA jacks
on the the TR4 are Antenna and Mute connections.  There should be
corresponding connections on the receiver. ( I don't know about the R-4a --
but there are on the R-4c..  To use the Tr-4 in transmit only both cables
need to be in.  The TR-4 switched to transmit and the receiver must be set
to Ext. mute. Good luck

 I have seen the brass knurled nuts at Lowes. They have a section of
