Evan/Rob; In addition to the TR-4310 transceiver, aka TR-7(A) + RV-75, the *R-4245 *receiver was also pretty much an R-7(A) *with an RV-75 built in*. Both rigs are among the rarest Drakes around. Both

Re: Those of us members in the HALF Century (or more) Wireless Association
What I didn¡¯t like about the old mixing scheme was my TR-4 and later TR-4C tuned backwards on 80m. This complicated the frequency scales of the discs immensely. By the time the TR-4Cw with RIT came

Re: T-4XB Carrier Oscillator
Not yet, Glenn. I am still puzzled at the voltages on pins 2 and 3. I can't help but think that the ALC side of the 12AX7 is playing a part. I had to continue working on some other items I have had

I¡¯m sitting here looking at my wonderful digital streaming audio system, and the Digital to Analog Inverter most often says USB as the operating mode. I can¡¯t help thinking about Upper SideBand!
