Re: MN2000
Look for a Mutch UT-2000B (not the A). They go for short money and will load up the proverbial bedspring. 73, Dick, W1KSZ ________________________________ Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2021 9:16 AM To:

Re: MN2000
We have a huge hamfest coming up this next Saturday in Sevierville that I'm going to keep an eye out there and see what I can find. Thanks everyone.

Re: MN2000
I've been looking at the MN-2700 but like said, it doesn't really match, would love to find an MN-2000C which is an MN-2700 in the 4 line colors which are a little harder to find. I do actually have a

Re: DR7 fitting partial success.
Did you check that there is an insulting strip loin top of the PTO mechanism? There is a very close fit between the bottom of the DR7 solder and the grounded metal below the DR7 just below the display

Re: MN2000
Hi Billy I would think it near impossible to add 160 to the MN 2000. It looks like a high Q circuit and I read somewhere that it performs best when using antennas of near resonance and is tetchy on

Re: DR7 fitting partial success.
It looks like you have an aftermarket LED board from DF4NW. Nice! However that suggests that someone botched the install and gave up on it. The display is strobed. One set of segment drivers drives

Re: MN2000
I seem to remember seeing a 160 mod a long time ago. Unfortunately, it involved drilling holes. At a minimum, it would involve adding inductance and fixed capacitors whilst using the bandswitch in the

Has anyone ever modded an MN2000 to work on 160? That¡¯s the only thing that has kept me from snatching one up to add to my C-line I have.

Re: DR7 fitting partial success.
The second digit is missing two segments. It looks like a display or driver issue to me (assuming the etches and soldering are okay). I can¡¯t remember if the display drivers are open collector or
