Re: [Drakelist] L4B Band-switch control knob
Fellow enthusiasts, When replacing the bandswitch knob, you might want to consider a bar style instead of the original to enable easier bandswitching. If you have arthritis or limited gripping strength, that round knob can be a challenge, hi hi. Lubing the switch helps but it is still a beefy item. Have an enjoyable, safe 4th of July holiday weekend. 73, Evan -Original Message- From: amfone To: Bob Henderson ; drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Thu, Jul 1, 2010 3:29 pm Subject: Re: [Drakelist] L4B Band-switch control knob Bob If you find a source please let me know.

Re: [Drakelist] R-7
If you're concerned about the long-term effects of the heat (and, as Garey suggests, it may not be a real concern), you might run the receiver off an external power supply. That cools it quite a bit.
