[Drakelist] UV-3 front panel knobs

I am looking for three good knobs for a Drake UV-3. Anyone have some for sale or know where I might find them. Thanks to all who reply. Jim Wagner W7JJW bjwag...@bresnan.net___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net

Re: [Drakelist] Drake C-4 question

Lee - The Powermaster is fairly easy to replicate, just a bunch of holes to cut! I would just put an electrical contactor (any electrical supply place, Home Depot?) in the a 'remote' box with a 240 VAC connector on it (if needed) and then hard wire a power strip(s) to it. The Antenna

Re: [Drakelist] Drake C-4 question

Garey, Thanks...so it looks like even if you don't use the remote antenna switch it's a neat accesory for a C line with L4B and MN-2700? Lee -Original Message- From: Garey Barrell k4...@mindspring.com To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Mon, Aug 9, 2010 1:12 pm Subject: Re: [Drakelist]

Re: [Drakelist] Drake C-4 question

Lee - Yeah, I guess. The clock, main power switch, Wattmeter, rotor control and ten minute timer are all useful to some extent. It certainly 'neatens up' the station wiring! If you operate some of the 'other' modes, the 3 position switch (EQUIP CONTROL) on the panel actually has four SP3T

Re: [Drakelist] C-4 Question

Hi, Lee, They didn't make very many of these, so you may have to fabricate unless you're lucky enough to find some original units. If you're intending to use it, rather than let it sit as a museum piece, I would suspect that making them up should be simple enough electrically. Finding the

[Drakelist] Drake 2-B crystal spec?

I would like to add the 10 meter, 6 meter and 17 meter crystals to my 2B. It has been so long the crystal companies need to know the specs for the crystal. Does anyone have that or better yet a good source for 2B crystals. Thanks 73, Paul W4YRL ___

[Drakelist] SPR-4 crystal calibrator wiring

I recently got an SPR4 and while as a receiver I am very happy with it, I always have been disapointed with the dial calibration. The crystal calibrator seems to be way off and wanders all over the place. I looked at the radio itself and found that there is no crystal calibrator in the

Re: [Drakelist] SPR-4 crystal calibrator wiring

Geoff - The four pins are: 1. Chassis ground 2. Switch, grounded to turn Calibrator on via S7 3. +12 VDC Supply 4. Antenna via S3 The Antenna output is coupled on the Calibrator via a 3.9 pF capacitor. You may need to experiment with this to get good output without overloading on the

Re: [Drakelist] Drake 2-B crystal spec?

Paul - I don't have any 'official' information, but looking at the circuit, and the time it was designed, I'd say they're 'almost' certainly Parallel Resonant for 32 pF load for Bands A, B, C and D. The crystals for Band E are most likely Third Overtone, Series Resonant for a 20 pF load.

Paul, No association with either of these, but maybe help the archive and you. AF4K at http://s88932719.onlinehome.us/hc6u_crystals.htm lists 2B International Crystals. Start by clicking on Quartz Crystals then on the left, click on Ham Radio/Specialty listed is Drake http://www.icmfg.com/ Let
