Re: Drake L7 Power output
Yeah, you only see that "arc" if the switch is closed (or opened) while the voltage is at a peak (sine wave peak) If you have ever plugged (or unplugged) in any device that's "ON" when you plug it in

Re: RV-75 only decrements
That frequency is the default setting for the RV7 5 to come up on. J107 gives you a few choices for the default power on frequency. This is covered on Page 2-2 of the manual. Sent: Tuesday, March 05,

Re: RV-75 only decrements
I got the replacement Optical Interrupters and replaced them in the RV-75. Made all the adjustments and checked the connections. This corrected the problem and the RV-75 now works as it should. Only

Drake L75 output
Okay, with all this chatting about RF output for the L7 what should I see into a 50¦¸ load from my L75? It had but one 3-500Z. Mike wb8vge

Re: Drake L7 Power output
From what I have read the plate circuit will be slightly more efficient if you use the CW position if you only want to run around 500 or so watts instead of the full power.?? It is true that when

Re: Drake L7 Power output
Tim, the sole reason for the CW position, at the time of manufacture, was to keep within the power regulations that were in place, in the USA, at the time. The limitation was 1000 watts input power,

Re: R4B AVC issue
HI Steve, Well just before you wrote today's reply, I pulled 2x 12ba6's from my tr4c and put them in the r4b, it improved the symptom a little bit, but still the zero pot needs to be all to way to the

Re: Drake L7 Power output
Let me? make sure I have this correct. I have two L7's and one L4B. Am I right that everyone is stating to tune these amps in the SSB position and just leave the amp in the SSB position all the time?
By amfone · #76472 ·
Re: R4B AVC issue
Those are okay. If you don¡¯t have extra tubes, try swapping around the 12BA6¡¯s and see if anything changes. Also look at the AGC circuit and make sure that the transistor (can¡¯t remember if

Re: Drake L7 Power output
That is a particularly nice implementation. I'll do this when I get my L7 out of service. Great writeup too. John K5MO

Re: Mechanical Zero of TR-4C S-Meter
When the set is powered up, you should be able to see it go to S1 with no signal. Unlike the meters in the Twins, these meters do have a mechanical zero setting BUT you will need to remove it from the

Re: R4B AVC issue
Okay they resistors measure as follows: Both liftet from PCB R41=837 OHMS R89=557 OHMS So not horrible out of tolerances I guess. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Drake TR-7 display
You can measure the +24V from the bottom side of the radio at the pins of the PS board. However, if the radio is operating normally from an RF standpoint, i.e., the PLL is locked and stable in the ham

Re: Drake TR-7 display
Hi Jim, thanks for chiming in. Forgive my ignorance, I am not looking at the radio right now, I assume the regulator is 3 pin, which leads do I test for the 24VDC or no 24VDC? Thanks, Adam
