I wish someone would tell me why in the world ANY net for Vintage (or any other HF radio for that matter) would list a "Net" frequency on a 1/2kHz "channel"? Why exclude the vintage Marine, commercial and military and CURRENT aviation type radios (Collins HFS-900S)? radios that only tune in 1kHz steps? Asking for a friend..... ? --

TR7A and R7A Jumper Boards and Digital Jumper Extender Board
Hello to all.
Does anyone know where I might find a complete set of the Jumper/Extender Boards including the Digital jumper/Extender Board for the TR7A, TR7 and R7A radios?
Thank you.
73,
Chuck

I would have a better chance of success if I could clearly see the contacts on both sides of the bad wafer.

Re: Drake service CDs no longer available from K4OAH?
After reading this thread today and realizing I didn't have the docs for my 2-B, I wrote to Carol at the specified email and got a nice reply 10 minutes later ( ! ). If you go through the listings and prices and put the equipment model you want in the PayPal form, she'll know exactly what you want.
I'm using FFox 111.01. If you are having problems, they have some good security that you may have to turn off or reset. Or maybe you have a useful but annoying extension that's blocking something. Looking at you uBlock Origin.
Otherwise you could use the promiscuous Chrome, which I have banished from my Windows 11 desktop. But it probably works in almost any case (no matter what the Goog says about their security).

It is good on QTH.
It’s a bi top a chore to replace wafers on a three section switch but at least it’s the rear one.

I have a large supply of rotary switch wafers. Can you send me a detailed, in focus photo of your switch wafer, preferably both sides?

Re: DRAKE TECHNICAL NET UPDATE ( March 19, 2023 )
Mark, thanks for that information!
I am willing to be a NCS if we can have this on days other than Sunday or Monday. Of course, things work better with additional NCS folk.
What say?

Re: Drake service CDs no longer available from K4OAH?
Everyone,
I did get a confirmation from Carol that all is well.
Looking at the web page I do not see anywhere to select a product
and pay for it.
Also what are the differences between the T-4X & T-4XB?
I would like to get the proper manual.

The problem at
this time is that there is no account open at PayPal for
K4OAH. So until one does get opened, PayPal has no way
to make the payment and their policy is to cancel the
payment request after 10 days.

Re: Strange AUX-7 for TR-7
I do laugh.. sort of.
Having said I think that the WARC are seemingly not so much chosen..
yesterday 12m was chock a block full of CW signals for WHAT reason I don't know.. no contests (CWops was short event)... was this all DX mania? Well, again, not my cup of tea. No casual operators out there?
Today 17m is same...
I don't see the joy in it... too intense.
At least when 10m was open for a few days I was actually having something like a QSO and ragchew with a few foreign DX entities. Heck, I would be happy with Hoboken, NJ....
Sigh. Maybe my mother in law will teach me to knit hats for cats....
