[drakelist] L-4PS hum
My L-4PS has developed a hum (buzz). When it's cool and I set the amp at low tap (CW) it's quiet. It begins to buzz on the high voltage position. Later when it warms up a while, even the low voltage tap causes it to buzz (hum). I know it's the transformer. What is my best option? I do not dare try to rewind it. New transformers are expensive but its that the best way to go? I hate to throw good money after bad and buy a used transformer from another L-4PS. Suggestions? I'm sure many of you have been down this road before. TNX es 73, Joe-WC4R www.wc4r.com www.rothweb.net www.williamsburgwx.com
Re: [drakelist] compared to the new stuff
I can say dittos to that too. I have an Orion (and love it). I have no intention to sell it as the RX and TX are outstanding. That said, I also have the C-line and enjoy operating those just as much. The RX on the R4C with Sherwood's mods and tuning is right up there with the Orion except in the worst of contest conditions or nasty 75m situations. It's more than just the numbers when I operate the Drakes. My FT-101F and IC-746PRO take a back seat to the rest. Joe-WC4R -[ Received Mail Content ]-- Subject : Re: [drakelist] TR-4C working again!

Would really like Drake users recommendations, opinions, comments for a all band (160 through 10 meter) Antenna i.e. low VSWR, broad band, house and neighborhood friendly, and be able to take output from a TX4 LB4 MN2000 set up. Previous experience has been: not much luck with verticals However it could have been my fault as I never had more than 8 radials, and no attention to decent grounding. A Recent excellent antenna presentation at the Rochester Radio club talked only on Verticals this was due to their low angle of radiation. Several verticals were mentioned specially the AV-18HT, However no had one. I know this isn't an antenna net but it's the only net I use and Drake folks on this net seem to be very knowledgeable.

[drakelist] Drake logbook reprint -Last call
"Joe Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- This is a repeat message from before. So far, we are only half-way there. More orders are needed. Please talk it up with you friends. Forward this email. Discuss it on the Drake nets. It MAY be possible to print a smaller quantity but the price will increase some. Here it is folks. I have been able to put together a "Commemorative Edition" of the official Drake logbook of years past. RL Drake, LLC has approved this printing. This is NOT an exact duplicate of any one version but a combination of all. The format remains the same and the front cover that was chosen was that of the Drake C-Line. The inside front cover is the same as they were all originally printed with fill-in lines for your station info. The first few pages and last few pages contain a collection of all the previous logbook pages. The originals had information about Drake and their plant as well as advertisement on the various model lin! es. Instead of one page, like the original, I copied all the versions so this edition will have all varieties under one cover. The cover of the logbook is a nice 60# weight cover stock with a textured, satin finish similar to the original. I'm using an off-white color stock to keep the vintage look. The inside pages (10 pages here) are black print on a good 70# weight offset text paper. Here too I used a natural color to preserve the vintage nature. I am asking for advance orders (no payments yet) to measure the serious interest in printing these logbooks. The cost to you will be $3.75 each plus shipping. I will use UPS shipping through my office so it will be at a discounted shipping rate. This is being sold at my cost. PayPal will be available but will have a processing charge. I must have a total print run of 500 issues to make this offer. Email your requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to this group or my email attached to this notice. I must hear from you by MARCH 29 (that's in 10! days) to put you on the order list. PAYMENT DEADLINE is April 30, 2007. I will have some that I will bring to the Dayton Hamvention (Drake Forum) in May. You can also pick yours up there to save on shipping. Sorry if this was long but I wanted to be sure you all knew how this turned out. Email any questions to my inbox address. Please commit to your orders that you request as I will have to bear the up front cost of nearly $2000 to pull this off.

The format remains the same and the front cover that was chosen was that of the Drake C-Line. The inside front cover is the same as they were all originally printed with fill-in lines for your station info. The first few pages and last few pages contain a collection of all the previous logbook pages. The originals had information about Drake and their plant as well as advertisement on the various model lines. Instead of one page, like the original, I copied all the versions so this edition will have all varieties under one cover. The cover of the logbook is a nice 60# weight cover stock with a textured, satin finish similar to the original. I'm using an off-white color stock to keep the vintage look. The inside pages (10 pages here) are black print on a good 70# weight offset text paper. Here too I used a natural color to preserve the vintage nature. I am asking for advance orders (no payments yet) to measure the serious interest in printing these logbooks. The cost to you will be $3.75 each plus shipping. I will use UPS shipping through my office so it will be at a discounted shipping rate. This is being sold at my cost. PayPal will be available but will have a processing charge. I must have a total print run of 500 issues to make this offer. Email your requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to this group or my email attached to this notice. I must hear from you by MARCH 29 (that's in 10 days) to put you on the order list. PAYMENT DEADLINE is April 30, 2007. I will have some that I will bring to the Dayton Hamvention (Drake Forum) in May. You can also pick yours up there to save on shipping. Sorry if this was long but I wanted to be sure you all knew how this turned out. Email any questions to my inbox address. Please commit to your orders that you request as I will have to bear the up front cost of nearly $2000 to pull this off. 73 Joe, WC4R www.wc4r.com www.rothweb.net www.williamsburgwx.com Create and Share your own Video Clip Playlist in minutes at Lycos MIX (http://mix.lycos.com) -- Submissions:drakelist@www.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 --

[drakelist] Drake logbook reprint
"Joe Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Thank you for everyone who has offered a copy of a logbook for me to examine. So far I have two versions being sent to me on loan. I will examine them for consideration for a reprint. I will also have to contact Drake in case there is a copyright and if so, if they would allow me to reprint an edition to be sold at no-profit. If this should work out, my 'plan' is to offer ONE type as a combination version with B-line, C-line and 7-line gear pages. This plan might change based on interested members' response. Please understand that orders will have to be requested in advance of the print as the larger the quantity, the lower the per piece price. I will print some extras and take them with me to the Dayton Hamfest for sale. I hope I can get this all done before Dayton. I will still have to pay my employer for the cost of the printing in hopes to recover it based on your promises of good faith. Special thanks to WB4HFN for his insight and tips! I will report my updates here on this list only; stay tuned.

Re: [drakelist] log book on e-Bay
"Joe Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Interesting thought Thom. I manage a large local printing company in Virginia. I never saw a Drake logbook but if someone sent one to me, I could see what it would take to duplicate it. I could post the cost on the list. I control the estimating and sales cost so I could sell it to members near cost. Just a suggestion. I would gladly return the sample logbook to the sender. Maybe there is an interest in a "reprint".

[drakelist] Bad tubes in L4B
"Joe Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I suspect I have a week pair of 3-500Z's in my L4B. Tell me if you agree. I restored an L4B and rebuilt the power supply. PS voltages check out fine. I drive it with a T-4XC at 90 watts. On 40m, RF output is 800w. Plate amps shows .5. Plate voltage is at 2000 on TX (2500 at rest). The grid bothers me as the meter pins past full scale. If I drop the RF drive to around 45-50 watts, the grid current drops to 300ma. The amp is running on 120 VAC for now.

[drakelist] L4B PS xformer
"Joe Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Happy New Year all Drake gurus! I seek your vast insight on the L4B. I am rebuilding my L4B's power supply. I have heard of some replacing the stock transformer with a Peter Dahl type which gives higher plate voltage. The goal is to bring the amp's RF output to 1500w. Has anyone done this mod/upgrade?

[drakelist] L4B help
"Joe Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I was fortunate to find an L4B to complete my Drake C-line station. The tubes are supposed to be fairly new. The power supply just had diodes replaced. I carefully (slowly) turned the amp on and everything came quietly to life. Those 3-500Z's are the prettiest things next to a Christmas tree! Here is the trouble. I tried to drive it with 20 watts (T4XC). The grid current is off the scale. A mere 10 watts drive will bring it to full scale. Plate voltage and amps read zero no matter what. The amp's T/R relay engages but no RF out at all. I tried this on 20 & 40 meters with the same result. What should I check next gang? Bad tubes? Bad L4-PS? Thanks!!

[drakelist] R4C low semsitivity
"Joe Roth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I have the R4C and T4XC pair. The receiver's sensitivity is much better when I use the TX VFO on all bands. I also noticed my output power is better that way on 10 meters. For example, ON 10 METERS I have 30 watts in the tune position when using the R4C VFO but if I switch to the XMTR VFO, output jumps to 100 watts. ON 75 METERS there is no ouput difference. I've check all the cables and I use RG62 for the INJ cable. All check out okay. Re-tubed and realigned both units last year (Sherwood mods to the RX). Any ideas where to poke around? Thanks gang!

All units were owned by a "T. Keller". The Serial #'s are 26595 (T4XC) and 25953 (R4C) and 1316 (C4). My best guess is mid-1976.

I've swapped all combinations around and I know there is a problem with the row. I looked at the obvious solder joints on the switch and traced the connections of 3 wires going to the underside of the chassis. Everything appears to be okay.
