Re: 2-B AGC voltage ¡ª possibly resolved
Thanks, Johni was going to do the calculations but it¡¯s not easy when in the passenger seat of a moving car. :-) I figure that it took 61 years for the part to drift that far, so any corrections

Re: 2-B AGC voltage ¡ª possibly resolved
If you can shunt your pot (fixed end to fixed end) with a made-up series combination of fixed resistors that yields about 35 megohms, you'lll be able to bring your 26 meg pot down to 15 megs. 73 de

Re: Remove case from MN 2000
Bob: Glad you got it out. The MN-2000 and MN-4 can be a bear to remove from the cabinet. Same with the C-4 console, especially if someone has replaced the inner cover screws with round head screws, or

Re: Remove case from MN 2000
Well after a lot of trials and errors, I found that whomever placed it back in the cover put it on with the 4 outside screws for the case already installed. This is what was making it very difficult

Re: DRAKE TECHNICAL NET ( May 7, 2023 )
Ah, that's where everyone was. I was hoping for a critical audio report on a "new to me," TR4-CW-RIT that followed me home. I also have no VOX on SSB and no delay on CW regardless of how the VOX

Re: white line on 7 line knobs

Re: Remove case from MN 2000
Correction¡­ not ALL 4-line boxes have ONE rolled edge on the front of the cabinet as rcvrs an txs have rolled edges front and back. The MN-2000, MN-4, CC-1, C-4, W-4, and WV-4 all have rolled edges

Re: Remove case from MN 2000
Bob¡­.just thought of something else. There should be a rolled lip around the edge of the front of the outer cabinet. Wonder if someone put it in backwards????? The rear of the cabinet has NO rolled

2-B AGC voltage ¡ª possibly resolved
I checked into the Sunday net today and Jeff, WA8SAJ, suggested that I check the RF GAIN pot. This is a 15M (!) pot and is not very easy to find, these days. I measured the pot across the entire part,

Re: Remove case from MN 2000
Bob Do not remove the front panel screws! Put the feet back on their screws. Not going to be easy now but you should try and get the feet started on the thread, then pull on it to keep the screw from

Re: Remove case from MN 2000
I assume it slides out the front of the unit. But it is really tight.
