[Drakelist] R4B xtal filter bandwidth problem

2010-07-18 Thread Griffiths G.
Folks Does anyone have experience of the R4B as-fitted xtal fliter showing a -3dB bandwidth of just 250Hz, from 5644.910 to 5644.660kHz This suggests to me that only one crystal is in circuit, but I do not have the circuit of what is in the can so I can be sure. Is there a circuit available?

Gwyn, Are you really meaning a R4B?  I am fairly sure that the B series RX has an LC circuit in the 60Khz range for its selectivity.  I didn't think the RX had xtal filters till the C series. 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Sun, 7/18/10, Griffiths G. g.griffi...@noc.soton.ac.uk wrote: From: Griffiths

Ron The R4B does have a roofing xtal filter at the first IF. But you are right, in that the main selectivity (at four switched bandwidths) is at the second IF at 50kHz with LC filters. The problem here is that at the input to the second mixer grid, the bandwidth is only 250Hz after the

Gwyn - Certainly sounds like a bad filter. Can't say I've ever seen or heard of one failing that way. Seems highly unlikely. I'd start by just connecting a wire between the leads going to the input and output of the filter, after disconnecting them from the filter itself. The filter is

I can endorse the Panasonic Panaflo series. It is not only a quality fan, it is relatively quiet. Dennis AE6C On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 7:55 AM, Jim Shorney jshor...@inebraska.com wrote: On Sat, 17 Jul 2010 09:16:50 -0500, Don Cunningham wrote: Evan, Would you share the make and model of the

Garey - Many thanks. Linking across the (disconnected) filter brings the bandwidth to what one would expect with just the IFTs at first IF. The selectivity is then properly controlled at the bandpass LC filter as it should be. I removed T6, the xtal filter can. There are only two xtals in a

Gwyn - Very interesting. I've been fortunate to avoid this sort of problem in almost 50 years of working on Drake gear! :-) I would suspect T5 at this point as well because it's about the only other thing around! I assume you have subbed a 12BE6, a 'shaky' tube at best. I HAVE seen
