Re: 7077 Mic
Mostly agreed but has nothing to do with distortion. Passive microphones, which include crystal, ceramic, magnetic, moving coil, ribbon are generators. They look like voltage sources. They do have a

I hate to say it but you might be better off with the Heil cartridge. In my mic comparison runs, the 7077 cam in dead last behind various vintage Shure, Turner, E-V, and modified D-104/UGxx

Re: The mysteriously modified 7077 (and nothing else¡­)
It was working fine until Sunday. Perhaps, I¡¯ll try resoldering all the bad-looking connections and/or testing the transformer. As bad as it looks, it was working. Most of the stuff I see on eBay

Re: Drake TR7, TX issue any ideas?
This is shown on the schematic. It appears you may have an early board. The PIN diodes are different also. This pair of PINs are used to inject the calibrator signal. "Michael Jensen via groups.io"

Re: Drake R4B vs R4C
I prefer the C in tight quarters on CW. You can get crystal filters down to 250 Hz stock and 125 Hz if you search. In pileups, these are the equal to newer rigs¡¯ receivers. For everyday, casual CW,

You may need to check your internal grounds, including all screws and any copper fingers attached to boards. As well, the board cage covers need to be attached with all screws, snug but not over

That seems likely to be the same cartridge shown in the photos I posted to the group photos section. And yes, as I mentioned previously, it is a cheap CB-era low impedance dynamic cartridge. Thus the

Re: 7077 Mic
That's what the transformer is for. Although I will say it again, it is not impedance matching. It is a voltage step-up. Impedance matching in microphone circuits is a myth. This is well documented on

Re: R4B and T4XC Compatble?
Yes, you will need to adjust C61 on the R-4B, exactly the same as if you were using a T-4XB. You won¡¯t use the CAR OSC cable and should put a shorting plug in the T-4XC¡¯s PTO LAMP connector. 73,
