Re: OT: Coax bypass switches
Robin; That's useful info, but I don't see any discussion of power-handling capabilities for the DIP/SMT (non-coaxial) relays. I don't believe they'd be suitable for handling 200W at 6M. Also, for the

Re: L7 fails to Key
Bob, Not sure if it is an early L7 ?with a non-polarized 2 pin PTT connector or an RCA connector; polarization of the 2 ?pin connector is important. ? Standby/transmit switch should be checked, on

L7 fails to Key
After extensive troubleshooting and replacement of the tubes, now my L7 fails to key up. I have checked the keying circuit and all seems fine at this point. Could I have a bad relay in the L7??

Re: TR-6 Meter Knob
Yuichi, you should not need to remove the panel to fit an AM filter. There is a socket inside the TR-6 for an AM filter. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

TR-6 Meter Knob
Dear all, I wish to remove TR-6 panel for installing homemade AM crystal filter, but "Meter" knob is interfering to do so. I think TR-4 / TR-3 and perhaps T-4X are the same construction. Please give
