Henry, Some hams have reported solving that problem by simply reseating the circuit boards. The DR-7 board is a bit tricky. Be careful not to bump the PBT preset pots on the front right. If you can find some Caig DeOxit liquid or spray, wipe it on the male portion of the contacts, and insert

I've been in communications with Dale, AA7XX to try and make some new front panels up for our drake equipment.  Dales email address is below. [EMAIL PROTECTED] He's trying to determine what the need is and if it is economically viable.  At this point, could anyone that has a need for a replac

Remember when running the t4X with R4? that the carrier will be offset about 1kc or more. I find it best to go split and use a freq. counter sniffing the coax line and set the T4X output to match the exact freq. If you don't some guys will complain about the quality of the signal and that's str

[drakelist] TR7 Problem

2003-11-21 Thread Henry Lewis
I have developed a fault in my TR7 relating to the UP/DOWN counters. If I leave the rig on say 3.750 and switch off, when I next switch on frequently it reads 2.750. Using the up/down buttons I can obtain only 2.250, 2.750 and 3.250 but not 3.750. This type of error is repeated on all the other

Frank, The 2B receiver has the AGC line brought out to a terminal strip on the back. I connected a 0.1 MFD to GND (if I remember correctly) to slow it down a bit. Hopefully the 2C has the same arrangement. Tom AG9X At 08:23 AM 11/21/2003, Frank Mayer wrote: I have a 2C receiver and I'd like

RE: [drakelist] T-4XC alignment

2003-11-21 Thread Gene McCalmont
Hello Erling: The tuning procedure you reference in the Drake manual for the T-4XC is a bit ambiguous and is a dangerous procedure when executed incorrectly. There are high voltages present on the wafer switch which can induce an unpleasant shock and if you accidentally short a terminal, you could

Hi Alan! I didn't know you were on this email list. Fancy meeting you here. I have a Drake T4x transmitter that I am hankering to pull down from the shelf and try it on AM too. Once I get it set up, maybe you and I could try to hook up some time on 75 meters. Most of the PNW AMers meet on 3

Hello Drake experts! Please, can anyone out there tell me what and why Drake in their alignment procedures for the T-4xc says: "Detune T5 by touching the rotor contact ... and tune the front 3.5 mHz injection trimmer for max. plate current."? 1 Does it mean I'm just to tuch the rotor cont
