T4X-B no transmit on 75 and 160
I thought I posted this but will try again. My T4X-B just stopped transmitting on 75 and 160. Not sure if 160 worked before since I never tried it, but losing 75 meters is hard since that is my major

Re: Drake L7 Power output
I would not suggest running 1290 watts out on FT-8, on 80m anytime soon. ( I get 1290 watts PO into a DL, using 3 x calibrated meters, bird, coaxial dynamics and also an array solutions

Re: R-4B troubleshooting, was Cabinet repainting
I agree. Selling on eBay is not a walk in the park these days. I've run into sellers at hamfests who said they stopped selling on eBay because it became to much of a PITA. No one is getting rich

Re: Drake L75 output
As I recall, the L75 had more than half the output of the L7. ?Even though the L75 only had one tube, it had a higher plate voltage than the L7 and thus the resulting power out. 73, Evan, K9SQG

I am not addressing Stan directly, but I think a comment here is useful. As an eBay seller for 25 years, I take exception to the term ¡°epay¡± to describe sales on this valuable resource for finding

Re: R-4B troubleshooting, was Cabinet repainting
Thanks. I found some 201 series pots on Epay, but the price for 2 is what I gave for a 10 piece of the horizontal mount 201 series pot. The R-4B receiver sensitivity and S meter sensitivity pots are

Re: R-4B troubleshooting, was Cabinet repainting
Nice work on the replacement pot! AxMan Surplus in Saint Paul likely has exact replacements but not too likely they would take the trouble to look for them when the selling price is likely around

Re: R-4B troubleshooting, was Cabinet repainting
True. While not the ideal thing to do; here's what I did since I've been unable to find any of the original CTS 201 series pots of the correct value which mount vertically. CTS still has this document

Tensioning an earlier C Line PTO
As I have gone back and forth a bunch of times with this R-4C PTO that I needed to put new dials on, I have learned a few new things about these nylon-geared mechanisms. The latest that I learned

Re: Drake L7 Power output
That's true. I'm trying to get an EL on 30m as I type this. Of course, 30m is <200W, so I don't use the amp at all. My old FT-1000D was great for 30 as it had 200W output. Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time

Re: Drake L7 Power output
When I use the amp for digital, it¡¯s usually on 40 or lower. I just don¡¯t have the 150¡¯ dipole. More power adds o signal strength when needed and yes, FT modes are weak signal, NOT QRP¡ Steve
