Re: MN2000
I ment the MN-4C, I don't know why I said the MN-2000C...... I've looked at the Murch tuners as well.

Re: MN2000
I was just thinking the same thing. I have a Murch sitting atop my MN2700. And a second homebrew knockoff awaiting cleanup. Spent less money than a night on the town for both combined. 73 -Jim NU0C

Re: MN2000

Re: DR7 fitting partial success.
I have 4 TR7As, one of them I purchased new and none of them have anything glued to the top of the PTO can. I also currently have 3 TR7s with serial numbers in the 9000s and none of them have any

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
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

I agree ?with Peter. ?In fact, I use my MN-2000 for 40 meter operation but use my MN-2700 for all other ?bands due to ?the wide matching range. ?Once you find the sweet spot for each band,

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

Billy: Indeed, the MN-2700 might be a better choice for 160m than trying to convert an MN-2000.? 160M coverage is already built into the 2700. It won't quite match your 4-line for sure.....but

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
