Re: [drakelist] TR7 PTO Frequency Stability

He told me that a customer had not succeeded in making it work, so he'd put the comment on his web page stating it wasn't being offered. Since then, a friend of his has successfully installed his VFO stabilizer on several TR-7/A rigs, and he'd sell them for that purpose. He hasn't changed the comment on the web site yet, but he said that he'd asked his friend to document his installation work, and that he'd include that with any orders specifying the installation target as a TR-7 or TR-7A. Here's the web site: http://home.comcast.net/~k4dpk/pep_adapter.htm Hope this helps, and 73 Bob, KD7NM -- Submissions:drakelist@zerobeat.net Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

Re: [drakelist] Cleaning Drake copper chassis
Ron Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Jack, Seems to me that the mix you preset is actually somewhat acidic and cleans the copper by etching. Although it would work, and I have used a similar mix on copper weld wire so that I could clean it for soldering. I would suggest anyone using this be careful as the plating on the chassis can be very thin after years of exposure. 73, Ron WD8SBB On Sun, 20 Jul 2008, Jack Dunigan wrote: Hi, I'm new to the list but not so new to restoring old things. I've had pretty good luck with a paste made up in the kitchen. Dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in 1 cup white vinegar. Add enough flour to make a paste. Apply the paste to copper and let sit for 15 minutes to 1 hour. Rinse with clean warm water, and polish dry. Don't scrub too much and try to avoid abrasive pads. They scratch the surface. The original laquer coating develops cracks allowing corrosion to set in. If you want to remove all the old laquer use acetone or alcohol. As with any process, try it in some out of the way place first before attacking the whole surface.

Re: [drakelist] DMM recommendation
Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Ron - I have a Heath FET-VM, and the only problem seems to be with temperature stability. The null is very temperature sensitive and drifts all over the place. For most Ham use, as long as it has an analog meter and a high 10-11 Megohm input impedance it will work just fine. Generally the actual value is not all that critical when peaking and nulling adjustments. A plain old voltmeter probe with a 1M resistor in series at the probe tip will work just fine with your Heath for DC measurements. As Mike pointed out yesterday, the Phone plug used by Heath was a special part, a "stereo" three-circuit plug with an insulator in place of the "ring" portion. If you're using a regular phone plug, either a two circuit or a three-circuit with the "ring" left floating, you probably ought to limit the meter to less than 500VDC. Again not really a problem, cause what we use the VTVM for is typically alignment which is less than 25-50VDC max. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line & TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs Ron Wagner wrote: Ron Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- So how does a Heath VTVM compare to a RS FET VOM? Mine has similar or better charactistices to a VTVM. I guess I am too young as I never used a VTVM, but as a kidI bought what I could afford (long ago). BTW I acquired a Heath V-7A VTVM at a hamfest to play with, but it is on the shelf because I could not find probes. I know I used my FET VOM to peak up the R4B, and seems like that circuit at the TP is very high impedence.
