[Drakelist] TR7 questions AGC

2011-09-27 Thread Don Buska - The Radio Lab Works

Hi Ian,

There is no "risk" performing the all band TX mod on the TR7 and it is
an easy way to get the WARC bands using the UP-DOWN buttons. I used that
method before I installed the AUX7 module.

Regarding the AGC.  Do you want something faster than the current FAST
setting via the front panel AGC switch (F/S)?  Or do you want it to
change with the "mode" selection?  I haven't seen any such modification
as it's kind of nice to be able to select the AGC speed independently of
the mode.  I would assume if you feel the current FAST isn't fast enough
that we couldn't dig into the schematic and play with a resistor value
that could speed it up more.  I just haven't read of anyone who felt it
was to slow in the FAST setting.

[Drakelist] Yet another Drake TR7 X-Lock Implementation

2011-07-23 Thread Don Buska - The Radio Lab Works
Recently completed installation of the Cumbria Designs X-Lock in my TR7. 
 I'm extremely happy with the final results.  Just thought I'd post a 
link to my webpage relating to a small twist I made relating to the 
tri-color status LED placement.


I hope you guys find it a good alternative to using the FIXED lamp on 
the TR7.

BTW, has anyone installed the X-Lock in any of the 4-Line equipment?

Hi Michael,

Check out Willi DF4NW  replacement displays.  He 
has a picture of my multicolor display that he made for me.  Very 
reasonable and excellently made.
