Being a mostly CW operator, I'm not surprised at this.
I've been making an attempt at going back to SSB - which would be a grand
movement for me from c. 1989 and even then, probably more since '85.
It's funny, but the T-4X that I got with the R-4B already had the B-series
knob with it. Since

I forgot, we also got the KEY jack moved to the side so we could use those neat little flat
plugs.!!! :-) THIS really WAS an improvement though, because a big old straight bodied plug really
interfered with the TRANSCEIVE and FUNCTION switch operation.

Not really. Yes, the neon 'PTO in Use' lights were a nice touch, but the 'above the belt'
switch from aluminum to black lettering made all the difference in the world in being able to READ
what they said. The new MAIN TUNING knob with 'dished' skirt also made them much easier on t

very nice-but-dusty T-4X and MS-4 and AC-4 from Shelby. I have shut if down

What did you do to the PTO in R-4B #2? I thought they were both jumpy?
I would use just about any small coax you have for the injection. It's not long enough to matter
what impedance or loss (within reason!) it is.
The headphone jack on the R-4A was in that location, and the panel s
Now I'm home (and listening to R-4B #2, which is going to need to be
re-capped but is otherwise working in a sterling manner) and checked out the
info on the PBT assembly. It sounds pretty simple once the cover is
removed.
I'm now at the point with R-4B #1 where I feel that I owe it to the ri
Hi Garey & Co.,
Well, for what it's worth, here's a chronology of my fun day to-day, most of it
spent at the work bench before the dis-assembled T-4X, my Heathkit SB-301
receiver, & a digital frequency meter...I'm STILL not sure as to what, if
anything(!), I've learned from all this! Gonna take

OMG - didn't realize that was there since it is "sealed shut".
I guess I know what my project's gonna be for this wet weekend ;-)
In my defense - I'm sitting here at work without my CD (and posted the query
from work) and I put everything down last night at around 10.30.
It's also looking like
ROTHFLMAO!!! Made my day reading your softly worded post, Garey! Had to
clean up some coffee that squirted out, though. RTFCD and derivatives;
i.e., RTFIM, RTFD, etc., are most fun play words. :-

FWIW, I just saw one of those clock mechanisms for sale on eBay last night. I
think the opening bid was at about 45 bucks.

This actually made me laugh before I had my coffee this morning, very
unusual indeed. Definitely words to live by.

the frequency of the PTO shifts several kHz or tens of kHz, that small, (probably less than 10% of

around for some reason - probably to change where the beat note would peak) and

is).
Moving the PBT in 4.8 from 9 to 3 o'clock had differe
Thanks again, Garey - yeah I begin to wonder when a counter isn't at least
toggling the last digit :) Great news, as I can finally get the R-4A back
together so it will be off the floor of the shack.

Hi Guys,
Well, to-day I plan to "snip" that white tubular capacitor out of my PTO, & see
what might happen...
I'll note the frequency on my receiver AND the PTO before doing this, as the
frequency from the PTO climbs some 100-KHz in the absence of its "can": I'll
