Bill, Your dial.  There was an article in QST about using a good one to copy the print to a CD blank (like the ones on top of a CD stack).  I know the author was not Garey Barrell, but he I think he may have had the original idea. Caveats Garey? Just and idea. If you're like me sometimes

[Drakelist] T-4XC Plate Current

Do you have a key plugged, and 'open'? Will the current 'dip' with the PLATE control? Is GAIN control at CCW? 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A, 4-B, C-Line and TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs www.k4oah.com Jim Bo wrote: Is it normal for the T-4XC plate current to

[Drakelist] L-7 Amp Soft Start.

2011-03-11 Thread LEE BAHR
Has anyone on here installed a Harbach SS-400 type Soft Start kit in their L-7? (This is the kit with the single relay and single dropping resistor and not the one used in a Heath SB-220). I know the SS-400 was made to install in a L-4B amp. I have not really studied the room requirements,
