I remember being at work in 1978, having a chat with a few fellow workers. Two of them were hams. I announced to my ham friends that I had planned to purchase a new TR7, not specifically saying

I hated I missed it, I got in at the very end after check ins finished. Yes, conditions were pretty bad. I couldn't even hear Ron even though he's only a couple hundred miles west of me.

Interestingly, legend has it that Bob had a fondness for British sports cars which had some impact on how he named radios. My brother had a TR-6 (four wheel version). Seems to me like he was always

Thank you, Jim. —Steve, W?PZ

The Drake tech net today had 16 check-ins under very poor band conditions. We had the following mix of Drake radio's. TR-4(X) = 4 TR-5 = 3 TR-7 = 3 C TWINS = 2 73'S, Mark, WB0IQK

Hmmmmm....nothing looks cast in stone. Wikipedia shows the Triumph with no hyphen (TR7) in the whole article. Drake shows the radio as "*TR7*" on the front page of the manual, and on the front panel

Yeah, it's sort of a dark gray. I thought maybe I had a pic of mine with the green knobs. I'll do that later. I'm more of a function over form guy. It it does the job I don't care how it looks. In my

For a minute there, I thought you had said "Murch better, and beefier than many current tuners." Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Guess pics can't be embedded...

Jim - I would challenge your claim of the 1st blue TR-7.? I would think that belongs to Triumph Motors, 3 years before the Drake!? ;-) TRIUMPH TR7 BUYER'S GUIDE | Classics World 73 Peter VE7PS

None of us know everything. ‘Murch’ is an old school brand of basic, well built, tuners. Much better, and beefier than many current tuners. 73 de Steve, NR4M

I know you're going for the look, but if you just want to get on 160 cheaply, pick up one of the MFJ-986 or similar - the differential T-Tuner.? A fast and easy to use legal limit option, usually

I didn’t word that quite right. I don’t intend to mod the SP-75. Just the ends of the cable connectors. — Steve, W?PZ
