Re: Another TR-3 s/n 1329
Thanks for the suggestions guys. There was no jumper on the RV3 VFO socket. I have installed a 8 pin plug with pins 2 & 8 jumpered. It is amazing what happens when something is connected properly!

As a side note, not all step-start controls are really what one would want. ?One particular model (still in inventories) is no longer made and is not a step-start even though it is advertised as

Wasted effort.? ?You would be better off to do any surge limiting with an outboard step start circuit.? ?Like a 20 ohm resistor in the hot leg? of the incoming mains.? ?Then shunt it after 2-3

Re: Supercapacitors - Possible anti-surge device to protect filaments/ heaters
Not much to do with anti-surge devices, but the supercapacitors reminded me of... I did something with batteries. I wanted to power a near legal-limit linear off 125V. So I modified a Panasonic

Re: Supercapacitors - Possible anti-surge device to protect filaments/ heaters
I'm not following the intent here.? The power-on surge is a surge in current.? Capacitors are voltage devices, primarily.? Please elaborate. Eric WK3B

I have an R-4B also. I need to go through the alignment procedure to see if that is what¡¯s causing the T-4XB to not put out good power when the receiver is used for frequency control. I just thought

Re: Another TR-3 s/n 1329
The TR3's 100Khz calibrator signal can be checked at pin 1 of V7. If your scope can display the frequency of the signal, connect the scope probe (probe initially set to x10) to pin 1 of V7. Turn the

Re: Drake 2-B
I agree with Gary.? A nice 2-B and a nice R-4B can both be bought for around $200.? I own both.? While the 2-B is a very good receiver and I like it a lot, the R-4B is even better and I like it

Re: Another TR-3 s/n 1329
I had a constant tone when I engaged the Calibrator in my TR-4. It can be caused by the carrier oscillator not being set properly. Barry - N4BUQ

Re: Another TR-3 s/n 1329
The RV3 socket pins that need to be connected when the RV3 is not plugged into the "J2" on the bottom of the TR3, are pins 2 and 8. Look at the TR3 schematic, J2 clearly shows the dotted lines between
