My first TR7 had the AUX, sold it when I downsized/renovated our house some years back.
my second one does not have AUX. Not to berate those who want... but I just did the PC trace cut and enabled all band XMIT and I just use the buttons on front to move to the area. For me the WARC are a 'bit' of a hoax.. wherein I don't see much on 30m...some on 12 and 17 re. activity sometimes. i know band solar condx affect but it seems after all this time since WARC 1979 those bands still have not really caught on generally, IMHO.Hence I am happy with the extra work just using the buttons to get to WARC areas.
That said, there once was a time I did seem to have a pipeline on 17m and worked Africa quite a bit as well as a few commercial planes in transit. So there is/was activity there. Maybe I just don't spend enough time in the chair with a radio waiting for The Big Trout to come into the river from his lair....
That said... my CW filters are old in that rig.. hollow and ringing...rig is no fun in that state.... so I have already contacted Noble to get new filters once and for all.... or the rig goes to someone who will KNOW they can only use it on SSB as it currently stands.

yes, the ones I have are by Farr radio. Look them up. If still in business you can get the info there. Let me know otherwise.

Yes, I understand that, I was trying to see if anyone knew the maker and had a paperwork on it. Thanks, Adam
It¡¯s a homebrew Aux7 fill in board to open up 12,17, and 30 if I remember. I built one and used it until I got my real Aux7 bird.
