[Drakelist] All band TX for the TR-7

2011-10-08 Thread Ron
Guys the other week someone ask about all band TX for the TR7. Found this method in my notes on the TR7. There is another mod which cuts PCB traces which I think also disables the PLL out of lock TX inhibit. I think this method saves that function. To enable the TR7 to transmit on all

Curt - No, it's a 4016 / 14016, same thing. It's a quad analog switch used in the TR-7 as well. Motorola just put the '1' in front of the CMOS number. The 4066 / 14066 is the same thing too. Easy to find. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A, 4-B, C-Line and TR-4/C

Hi folks, I picked up an R-4 (no-suffix) about a year ago and listened on it for a while with just a random wire inside the house. Really like the radio. Back in the spring, it developed a hum, and sounded like the radio was zero-beat with a carrier wherever I tuned. I figured filter caps were

Indeed, there are two multilegged creatures with the 4016 moniker. You are both correct. One is an analog switch, one is a counter. http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/87112/MOTOROLA/MC4016.html http://www.ee.washington.edu/stores/DataSheets/cd4000/cd4016.pdf Call me crazy, but I

Curt - OK. Guess you have to look and see what the circuit is! The standard CMOS chips are CD4016, which is a Quad Analog Switch. Motorola's version is a MC14016, which is why the 'extra' 1 at the beginning. I seem to recall now that Motorola DID have a series of 4000 chips, much like the

So, the mc4016P is equivalent to the mc 14016P. This is a 16 DIP plastic case, divide by N from 0 to 9. The one that is bad is U 706 in the divider board used as a counter, but there are several others of this type in the circuit. If the 1 in front of the 4016 means cmos, I suppose they will

One way to provide additional band slots for the transmit and receive is to find and place an Aux-7 board in the radio. These are hard to find. The solution I use on the several TR-7 units I have had is to use the scheme of Robert Morrow, WB6GTM in the July 1982, QST. It is a diode programmable

David - I'm afraid I misled you on the MC14016 chip. That is a quad analog switch, same thing as a CD4016. Your chip is a programmable counter MC4016 as Curt said, and considerably harder to find. The only other thing I would say is the 'Chinese parts' are sometimes counterfeit or bad.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. You can fake an AUX-7 by installing diode networks on the bottom of the parent board, similar to this: http://www.dproducts.be/drake_museum/rx_0-1_5_mhz.htm It can get ugly, but if you only want, for example, WARC bands or VLF receive, it's not too bad.
