One pin is ground, the other is hot. Plugged in one way, the amp will be keyed continuously. Reverse the plug and it should work fine. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line& TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs ted orant wrote: > I have a vox cable for keying ameritron amp from tr7 power supply.I > figure maybe end going into power supply has to go a certain way.Cable > was for tr4 ac4 supply.but tr7 supply has same setup..Just a 2 pin > male end.Any help appreciated.

This one looks great, and includes the paper work. $30 Drake TV-5200-LP This is the more modern version of the Drake TV-1000 Low Pass Filter. This is the filter that may also be used on the low end of six meters, as well as HF. It is good for 1000 Watts average below 30 MHz, and about 200 W up to 52 MHz. It works fine, and is in very nice shape. $35 Case for Drake TR-33 C This is the black case that fits the Drake TR-33 C, and has cutouts in the back for antenna, power, etc. It includes the shoulder strap, and is in good shape. $12 Case for Drake TR-22 As above, but for the TR-22.

I thought these were completely gone, but one appeared from a silent key.

[Drakelist] FS MN 2700
I have a nice working MN 2700 for sale. It was sold to me as a near perfect tuner. Well it was not what they said it was. The trim around the meter was cracked and broken and that has been repaired. The paint is good and front panel looks good other than the trim. It has the balun also. I used it on 75 meters with my Drake station. You can see a photo of the setup[ on www.myhamshack.com/n5dpk.

[Drakelist] MN-4C Switch Levers
I'm wondering if there is a source for the plastic handles that press onto the two capacitance switch levers on this tuner. Mine works fine, but the handles are missing. 73, Curt KB5JO ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] odd ball s-meter on tr4
Mike - Sounds like the problem is in the AVC circuit and the S-Meter is just responding appropriately. Something dragging the AVC line down, leaky cap? 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line& TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs Mike Bryce wrote: Boys and girls working on the fubar tr4 on my bench. got the receiver working, the transmitter is on line now too but I've got a problem with the receiver I've never seen before.

Thank you.. Ted If the amp keys immediatly when you plug it in, reverse it. That's all there is to it. Or you COULD use an ohmmeter to find out which side of each end is common (ground). 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
