Re: TR-4 AM Mode
Randal, This is exactly what I was trying to do. I have a key in the key receptacle, no mic in the mic receptacle, and when I switch to X-AM, the audio goes dead. To me, that doesn't seem correct and,

Re: TR-4 AM Mode
Mike, Thanks for the explanations below. In my case, I have a key inserted in key jack so switching to X-AM would only transmit with the key down (I don't have a microphone inserted - yet). With it

Re: TR-4 AM Mode
Having just listened a bit to some AM on my TR-4, ?and having read Mike's comment, I'll point out that the manual indicates that you can receive AM in the X-AM function switch position. ? I have a

Re: Another TR-3 s/n 1329
Thanks for the suggestions guys. There was no jumper on the RV3 VFO socket. I have installed a 8 pin plug with pins 2 & 8 jumpered. It is amazing what happens when something is connected properly!

Re: Supercapacitors - Possible anti-surge device to protect filaments/ heaters
Not much to do with anti-surge devices, but the supercapacitors reminded me of... I did something with batteries. I wanted to power a near legal-limit linear off 125V. So I modified a Panasonic
