Curt, might try this to see if you can get good results, if not maybe a replacement from a donor rig. http://www.wb4hfn.com/DRAKE/DrakeArticles/StickPaintFix.htm 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Wed, 12/30/09, Curt Nixon wrote: > From: Curt Nixon > Subject: [Drakelist] TR7 "Sticky" paint > To: Drakeli

Thanks a bunch for all the comments on the L4B birth dates.. I had, in fact, looked in most of the sites suggested but, obviously didn't link up with the right pages. Carl's comment on the schematic dates was a revelation... Just finished a Swan 400 refurb and am now into an L4B upgrade but n

[Drakelist] L4B Birth Day?

  Looking at that site, I did see an advertisement from his collection that was dated June 1968 showing the L-4B.  Great site!    There was another ad ('63?) showing a woman sitting in front of a 2-B.  Don't remember my mom with those kind of glasses but do remember her dressing like that.  Fla

Hi Garey, Many thanks for sharing that EXCELLENT summary re. the different Drake receivers...! It is definitely well worth retaining in one's radio library as a "...one stop" ready reference for the future. Thanks again, & my best "H.N.Y." wishes to you & all subscribers to this wonderful Reflec

Re: [Drakelist] How to Lower T4XC Drive To Linear Amp During SSB?

WA6HYQ Just a question. What benefit is there to drive an FL2100B with a Viking II. The Viking II will run 100 watts plate modulated AM, which is equal to 400 watts peak envelope power. At most you may get 250 watts out of the Yaesu running it hard, it does not have a heavy supply which equal

Re: [Drakelist] How to Lower T4XC Drive To Linear Amp During SSB?

On my AM station I drive a Yaesu FL2100B with a Johnson Viking-II. So I don't have to throttle the transmitter back to 10 watts from 100, I place a T connector in series between the transmitter and amplifier, from the center of the T I place a 100 watt dummy load which works great! John, WA6HYQ

[Drakelist] FW: TR-4C XMTR Gain Problem

Thanks Mark. I should have added that the bias is set per the manual, although I have not checked the meter shunt resistor yet to make sure it is still good. The TR-4C is being run off of an AC-4R PS that was rebuilt about 8 months ago. I did do a quick check of the Carrier Balance and it appears
