hen turn the NB "ON", it STILL takes another 2 hours to settle down. Apparently the NB ckt itself needs some attention. Can this be adjusted out? I have not 'tweaked' anything yet. Thought I would get some input from the Drakelist. Thanks. 73, Gerald, KB7QQ --- Outgoing mail

[drakelist] T4Xc sidetone pitch too high

75 cycles. When I added more capacitance, the tube became erratic and would not continue to oscillate (like it ran out of gas). Tube internal characteristics seems to resist outside circuit changes. The same thing holds true for the TR4C (V2 tube) grid to cathode ckt I believe. 73, Ger

I'd keep it. Heck, if you ever needed "irreplaceable" components, you might just find a parts unit or components salvaged from a junker. I've done that for some of my rigs. When I bought my Yaesu FT-920 I kept the drake C line at the main operating position. Now if space is a problem then you'll h

I don't know what audio chip Drake used in the R-7. I know the TR-7 uses the LM380 while the TR-5 uses the TDA2002 aka LM383. The TDA2002/LM383 has substantially better specs and performance. This is the same chip many Drake users are familiar with as it was a very popular mod for the R-4C. Subseq
