Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
2c. I would also be interested in the R4C printed circuit boards for the Sherman Mods...I've been collecting parts. TNX & 73, Tom Cunningham WA6VZN in Maryland

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
After I found that Rob's Product Detector could help an R-4B, and heard that it was ok with him to make the kit ourselves, I re-designed Rob's board except using SMD.? My board is therefore smaller

Re: MS-4 Accretion
With me, it's the AC-4's I have run a switch to the MS-4 to channel to the speaker whichever rig I'm using at the moment. They take up space. The AC-4's sit on the floor and don't complain much ;-)

Re: Drake mods
Hi Stan, All that was ever installed for an R-4B here in the lab were a few PD-4 product detectors. The AMP-4 needs a good 12 to 14 volt supply at several hundred mA that doesn't exist in an R-4B.

I must report with great shame that I have two MS-4s and I hooked one of them to my badly wounded ICOM IC-735. Discraseful, it is like Queen Camilla turning to prostitution to pay her cellphone bill.

Re: TR7 next problem
I don¡¯t know how it can read 1.3 MHz if not oscillating¡­ Yes, the lo band VCO should change frequency if you pill RFC502 to ground, pulling the varactor drive from ~21 volts to zero volts. Gary

Hi Glenn, In 2022 there was an attempt to have Harbach Electronics offer the boards and a parts kit. My old Gerber files were not readable by most current PCB programs. A ham in Germany was able to

Re: TR7 next problem
Do you mean on the low VCO will drop as I don¡¯t think the high VCO is oscillating as it reads 1.3 mhz and dies not change when I put a ground on RFC 505. Also those voltages on the test pint do not

Lyndon... Yeah I thought about that MS-4 and if we had met at a fleamarket I probably WOULD have picked it up...but shipping adds silly cost now and thought better of it. I'll take a look next weekend

I have no connection with the seller, other than I used to live in Elliot Lake, ON 40 years ago, but this price looks pretty good to me. Caveat Emptor! 73 Peter VE7PS ---------- Forwarded message

Re: TR7 next problem
Those voltages will inly read correctly if the PLL loop is closed. Do you have enough extenders to put the radio into operating condition? The way you have it operating, the output at the test point

Hi Gary, I did the ground on RFC505 and no change except that the voltage goes very low of course going through a 100K resistor. The frequency counter shows 1.3 MHz on the output of the VCO when it is
