Re: Drake L7 10m modification


 

Roger,

To my knowledge Drake used 3 different schemes to lockout 10/11 meters from the CB crowd. ?The one you have sounds like the one where there is a round head screw with/without a nut, something like a cap screw, possibly with an Allen head. ?The best way to remove it, I've found, is to do it from the bottom. ? However, ?do be careful and stuff some painters tape, or kleenex, ?or something "below" where that screw/nut might fall. ?That way you can capture it before it gets into some known/unknown location that could cause further damage upon power up. ?For me, I've found that needle nose pliers worked well with high illumination.

But let's hear what the experts say.

Best of luck.

73,

Evan, K9SQG

I've looked down in the band switch from the bottom and see a small nut. I can't really see the head. What is the best way to get at it? Top or bottom? What type of tools did you use? Going in from the bottom is extremely tight.?
