Re: [Drakelist] Drake C-Line, Transceive switch on T4X-C, Changing signal strenghts

Chuck - First ... It is normal for the gain of the receiver and transmitter to vary slightly with the position of the transceive switch. That said, the basic fact is that the INJection and the CARrier OSCillator signals are what is patched between the two units. The CAR OSC signal is at

[Drakelist] TR4C, RV-4C VFO, AND AC4

I'm trying to determine what my TR4C, RV4C, and AC4C is worth. Yea I know what the market will bear however I don't want to give it away and need to feed my family. I intend to list them on Craigslist instead of PAY-BAY so any help would be wonderful. They are in great condition and look very

[Drakelist] Rubber feet?

2010-01-15 Thread Richard Palmer
I recently acquired my first tube radio station. A TR-4/RV-4/AC-4. Everything seems to work as it should. My question is one only a rookie would ask, and I'm sorry to ask but I have looked everywhere I can find, without any luck. Should the AC-4 have rubber feet on it? Mine does not and when

Ok. Thanks all. I did not know the AC-4 was securely mounted to the chassis of the RV-4 with screws. I was just sliding it in there. I see I have the threaded type mount power supply. I also see that the feet on the RV-4 are nutted. So I'll try to screw the RV-4's rear feet into the bottom of

Dave - I have no knowledge of the R7 board and don't have the schematic for that, but did recently do some work on my TR7 digital control board and will tell you what I found. Excuse me if I go over some stuff you already know. U201 is simply a BCD to Decimal decoder. On the TR7, two

[Drakelist] R-4A Notch trouble

2010-01-15 Thread Karl Henrik Laache
Hi My R-4A project is puzzling me. It sounds ok, but when I go through the adjustment procedure I'm puzzled. The book says thet the tuning of T7 andT10 is quite broad. For sure, I can't get a maximum at all. And the notch will not work. There is absolutely no response to any setting of the

Not sure that will work, if memory servers, they may be different threads. The original screw in feet of the AC-4 (shorter than the RV-4 feet, they were just half-rubber balls attached to screws) were to be used to hold the AC-4 in the RV-4/RV-4C/MS-4 cases. Loren - WA3WZR On 1/15/2010

Karl - Three things. One, the IF must be aligned properly, i.e., on frequency. Two, NOTCH is VERY narrow. It's easy to go right past it if you turn the knob too fast. Three, the NOTCH ADJUST control on the right side of the chassis must be adjusted as well. These two must be adjusted

The TR-4 has 6 rubber feet (sorta). On the rear there is one in each corner and in the front there are two stacked in each corner. This raises the front to an angle. The RV-4 has rubber feet in both corners up front that look very similar to the ones on the TR-4. And in the rear corners there
