Re: [Drakelist] MN-2000
Mike, The MN-2000 is built like a tank, but adding for 160 is a real modification. The WARC bnads, however are possible just by using the nearest band setting and tuning - depends on the mismatch. If only 300 watts or so is going into the tuner then go for the MN-4C to pick up the 160 band - still need to fiddle for the WARC bands though.

Re: [Drakelist] MN-2000
Yep.. I suppose it depends somewhat on the antenna, but my 40M OCF tunes with the MN200 for all the WARC bands. Again, depending on the antenna, it is certainly possible to use an alternate feed out for the 160 setup and use an external inductor and/or cap in series with the MN2000. I actually have done that for a bogus longwire on 80M. Some number 12 house wire wrapped around a pc of 4 PVC. I'm with kris on the mods...more expense than worth...complicated and expensive. I actually thought about adding a roller inductor to my MN2000 but not alot of front panel room with the wattmeter.

Re: [Drakelist] MN2700 pushbuttons....
If you really must have an exact duplicate, if you have one good one, you can use urethane casting resin. First, using the good part, you make a mold set from silicone molding material, then cast the resin into the mold. I have made duplicate keyboard caps for specialty industrial automation keyboards for CNC machines this way and you can't tell the difference. It would cost in the area of 50-75 bucks for a kit with all materials required. Expensive but a perfect match.

Are these not the same push buttons used on the rest of the 7 line? They should be plentiful.

Russ, You have to do this one yourself. Info is given at the bottom of each email. The unsubscribe must be done from the same email address that started the process.

[Drakelist] Padding below 1.6 Mhz
I am able to tune part of the medium wave band on the Drake R4A, but the stations are weak even though they are powerful nearby broadcasters. I thought I saw that the sensitivity is padded below 1.6 Mhz. Is this true on the Drake? ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
