[Drakelist] Drake power connector source

2009-02-16 Thread Loren McCullough
Anyone have a source for the S-310-CCT and S-312-CCT power connectors? Mouser, Newark, Digikey and Jameco all list them as discontinued. Loren - WA3WZR ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net

[Drakelist] TR-7 Power Supply Question

2009-02-16 Thread James Cobb
Gents,       I'm trying to decide what I should do for a power supply for my TR-7.  I'll try to give the Reader's Digest version, but I have a slight complication.  My main power supply is an Astron RS-35M, but my TR-7 (S/N 46xx) generates some transmitted audio feedback in the receive audio

Hi, I use an Astron RS35 with my tr7 and have none of the problems you spoke of. I get no dimming at all during key down or otherwise. The Tr7 does require more current than most all of the Japanese radios. It could be your Astron has a problem you would otherwise not be aware of except with

(Note:? G4ALG had posted some notes on a similar problem that got me to looking at this issue and his notes led me to run separate power lines for the high-current and low-current connections that fixed his problem and my problem.) If running separate lines fixed the problem, then the power

I can tell you from many field day experiences that low primary input voltage to the PS-7 will cause the TR-7 to turn itself off, especially with voice peaks or when tuning up. Turning the power switch off and back on will reset it, but it will do it again until the primary input voltage to

Yes, I'm aware of this and referenced GW4ALG's info in my first post.  My power cable uses 10-gauge on the high-current side and 14 or 16 gauge on the low-current side.  It's not the problem as the feedback is still present when using my Astron but disappears when I use the Astron in

Indeed that comment puzzled me. I have measured the V drop at full load and it was next to nothing. However moving the sense is good, why didn´t I think about that?, this I will do to fix some V drop in the cable. / Jim SM2EKM - Jim Shorney wrote: On Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:00:24 +0200,
