Re: Drake L7 10m modification
I've looked down in the band switch from the bottom and see a small nut. I can't really see the head. What is the best way to get at it? Top or bottom? What type of tools did you use? Going in from

Re: L75 amplifier /TR-7
ALC overshoot spikes are minimal if ALC is used as intended. ALC is not a speech processing system nor a hard limiter. It is there to catch those occasional higher peaks. Thus the instruction with the

Re: TR-7A No Output
Nice catch. The 7805 is normally very reliable but they do fail occasionally especially in older gear. I trust you checked for a short on the output. I would think you would still have output power

Re: TR-7A No Output
I think I found the issue. There is a switched +13.6V line from the T/R relay which goes to a 7805 regulator on the power amp board. I get switched +13.6V in from the relay to the input of that

Jim Thanks for that tip as I found that the 5 volt 7805 regulator was dead on the side wall by the power supply.. Installed a new one and things are working now even the receiver hears signals. I

Re: Wanted: 1500 Hz filter (Noble FILTERS)
Some fair points in your statements. Yes all filters will eventually fail, yet many will be doing this outside of the current life expectancy of the users. Mechanical filters fail, crystal filters

Re: TR-7A No Output
Welcome back! Your first check should be the high current 13.6V pin on the PS7 4-pin connector. It powers the PA deck and if there is a problem there you will have no output. Otherwise, a rig that has

Re: L75 amplifier /TR-7
I don't see an advantage to that. Adjustable ALC is right there in the amp and you are adjusting it to what is happening at the amp, not to an arbitrary value. "Thomas W9TAB via groups.io"

Re: L75 amplifier /TR-7
You can also ditch the ALC in the amp and use an adjustable negative low voltage source to the radio. Several simple circuits are out there, some using a 9vdc battery and a potentiometer and others

Re: L75 amplifier /TR-7
As a side note, the ALC on the L75 is similar to the L7 and L4B in that it is frequency sensitive. ?Adjusting it for 10-15 meters, for example, will result in overdrive if switching to 80 or 160
