Re: 7077 Mic
Folks, I will go down to the shack this afternoon and take photos. I'll also draw, schematically, what it looks like (by hand -- I don't have any CAD by which to do this). One thing of note that I

Re: 7077 Mic
This one has no foam but there¡¯s a white cottony-looking material that is right behind the grille. It looks identical to the Astatic 1011 I have. That mic does have a powered amp, which I run pretty

Re: 7077 Mic
This is a 7077. Made by Astatic, rather than Turner. If there are no components in series with the element, then you should be able to get a reading from pin 1 to GND. One may need to press the PTT if

Re: 7077 Mic
It has 3 wires. I suspect that there¡¯s a common in there. I did think that perhaps this could be a filter but the capacitors are 0.01 and 0.47, which seem like coupling caps. They¡¯re also in

Re: Drake T-4XB rubber feet
One might have to be cautious with those small feet with the embedded studs. ?In virtually all of the ones I have seen, that stud has started to protrude through the bottom of the foot with just a

Re: 7077 Mic
Unloading the D104 cartridge makes more sense as the lower transmit passband width is extended.? For transceivers with a conventional 300 Hz to 2.4 kHz transmit bandwidth, the low-end response is

Re: Drake T-4XB rubber feet
Those small rubber feet with embedded 6-32 studs are, as you note, used on the AC-4 Power Supply, and elsewhere. They are called out in the mounting options shown in the TR-4 series manuals as one of

Re: 7077 Mic
I was there yesterday when you checked in and I didn't notice that your audio sounded tiny. I did the Heil element in a D104 carcass and had to add a matching transformer to get the impedance up.

Re: 7077 Mic
FWIW, crystal and ceramic microphone elements look like capacitors. The load impedance forms a high pass filter with the capacitance. The higher the impedance the less the bass roll off. There is also

Re: 7077 Mic
Yes, I am quite aware of the D-104 head characteristics. I'm the guy who posts the attached graph whenever this comes up. For the TR7 470K x 2 is an ideal load for the cartridge with plenty of voltage

Re: 7077 Mic
I probably wouldn't have bothered with my TR7 - I would have just connected the D104 to that pin with the 470K resistor. This was in the mid-80's, and I wanted to hook it up to my TS-830S. I don't

Re: 7077 Mic
I have never run any electronics in a D-104/T-UGxx. Just a 470K or higher resistor in series with the audio line. Still plenty of output to drive most anything and the cartridge is happy with its

Re: 7077 Mic
You can find photos of the inside of a 7077 here: /g/DRAKE-RADIO/album?id=252836 It does have a small transformer in it to step up the voltage output to drive a TR7. No capacitors.

Re: 7077 Mic Correction
The 7077 is a dynamic mic, not a ceramic. I looked up 7075. Disregard my remarks. For more on the 7077 see: <https://www.wb4hfn.com/DRAKE/DrakeAcc/Drake%207077%20Microphone.pdf> -- Richard Knoppow Los

Re: 7077 Mic
The 7075 is a ceramic element mic. Ceramic and crystal elements measure open circuit for DC. They look like capacitors. Your mic may be fine. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL SKCC 19998

Re: 7077 Mic
I have a 7075; tried to get a resistance measurement that was not the PTT closure and every combination was open circuit. Don't have a schematic so I was fumbling in the dark. -- Craig/W8CS

Re: 7077 Mic
It sounds like someone may have added a filter to the mic. Can you tell if the transformer is open? Is is actually a choke?
