Hola...

well one can not live by transistors alone. so I dug out one of several old TR4's I had. this one was in fact a TR4CW...

now... I've never used any of my Drake radios for too much, other than to check into a net here or there so there's a lack of operating time on my side.

so here are my questions

1. Using headphones, 8Ω, the volume is way too loud. at just turned on, it's blasts my ears. Is there a fix to this internal to the radio? Or must I insert resistance into the head phone line. ( I don't use the same head phones all the time)

2. Sidetone volume is too low... anyway of increasing the level?

3. When going to the cw filter, I loose RF output power. Yea, could be a misaglined crystal filter, but if I retweak the loading the plate controls, power comes back up to where it was in the wide position.

4. beside ebay at $15 a pop, where can one get the 3/16 inch right angle plugs for the microphone?

thanks...

mike
