Yes John, Just got an email from radio mart confirming no connection to this plug. He said it does have the aux 7 and am filter ( or a resistor across the terminals). Not sure about the cw filter. Its just a very nice TR7. He really should retract the listing. Regards, David Wd9cmd

Thanks Jim, Oh, and one board has the called for 2.7k resistor to ground on the 25v line, and the other one has a 7k resistor that looks original. None of my schematics show any change called for. Changing out the caps might be a good idea. David Wd9cmd - Original Message - From
