Re: R4B 50 Khz I.F. sweep.
50 KHz is hard. Most analyzers that could fall into ham hands don't go down that far. I have an old HP that goes down to 20 Hz but it would anchor a decent size boat. 73 -Jim NU0C "W6MQI via

Re: R4B 50 Khz I.F. sweep.

Re: Success- the vernier drive on my T-4XC is back together and working.
I tend to leave the drive alone unless there¡¯s a problem with moving the slug rack. The problem usually manifests itself at the high frequency end (10m). If resetting the preload won¡¯t fix it,

Success- the vernier drive on my T-4XC is back together and working.
After trying unsuccessfully for several days to reassemble the vernier drive on my T-4XC, I noticed a small ball bearing on the carpet under my work bench. Since the vernier drive is the only thing I

Re: T4XC AGC
For what it's worth, Drake does call it AGC on the schematic.? His statement as I read it is saying that as shipped with the 1 Meg AGC does not work properly and adding the 15K makes it work, At

Re: T4XC AGC
I have read that years ago, noted it on my schematic. I do find it hard to believe a Drake factory screw up that makes it to not work! I do have my T-4X on the bench right now, I will try to check it

Re: 12BY7 substitute
BTW a 12GN7 while not a direct substitute has the same pinout and is about twice the plate dissipation and higher transconductance than the 12BY7. I could not find one to try but it would be an

Re: 12BY7 substitute
I think I have answered my own question. These tubes are basically one and the same. I found quite a few in my stash, and this RCA is numbered with all three types. I ended up using a JAN GE 12BY7A
