[Drakelist] R-4A / R-4B AVC/NB problem.

Lee - It looks like the internet robots aren't going to allow us to converse directly. Hopefully you are getting list mail ok.. You made a statement some time back that you had the same problem with BOTH an R-4A AND an R-4B. The point I have been trying to get across for the last week or s

Re: [Drakelist] TR-7 Relay

Pete - Couple of factors make this relay suitable... 1. 150W into 50 ohms is only about 1.7A, so no problem there. 2. The Drake 'yank-in' VOX system 'probably' closes the contacts before any RF gets to them, limiting the 'make'. 3. The more damaging 'break' comes after the RF is long gone

Re: [Drakelist] Question about dial darkening

Re: [Drakelist] TR-7 TR Relay

[Drakelist] TR-7 TR Relay
