Re: DRAKE TECHNICAL NET UPDATE ( March 19, 2023 )
I'll be sitting down later today and putting all of these nets into a matrix. It seems that Saturday has more availability from a number of nets/time-scheduling standpoint. I'll identify the times

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Yes. You can also tell by the newer ball detent that's held in place by a leaf spring. What is the serial number of this one? Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Thanks Steve, you are da man. I must have a late T-4X, can't tell because the serial number rusted away, hi hi. I will pull it out today or tomorrow and take photos, Dave pull yours and we can see if

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
IIRC, the last T-4X's have a switch layout that is identical to the T-4XB and they have the same number of wafers, whilst the earlier T-4X's had one less wafer. I was going to try and update a T-4 to

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
C Line switch is different. The power control moved there, so I¡¯m betting that there are other differences. I may also have this switch in a carcass that has yielded up spare parts for me for the

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Dave: Wouldn't you know it's one that's buried in wiring too....makes ID pretty difficult from a picture. Remind me again....is it a T-4X or T-4XB you need this for? I can pull either one (or a T-4XC)

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Yes, that's the switch in the bottom center of the picture with the three switch wafers it's the rearmost wafer that I need. Gary W0DVN struck out finding one in his stash of wafers Dave

Re: 2-C Receiver
The config in my photos is stock. The bushing on the shaft is there to isolate the mode knob from the bandwidth selector. Yes, this rig had some corrosion from humid storage. But that's merely

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Dave: Probably not the same. I'm not at home so cannot start digging into the details.I will be home in a few days though, and can check out what parts I have/don't have and even if the switch isn't

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Does it look like that? Is anyone and expert on T-4Xx mode switches? Steve? This one is in a late T-4X (I think its late), Dave needs one with 3 sections like this but for his T-4XB. 73, Gary WB6OGD

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
If you think the R-4B audio is good, you should listen to an R-4A(early). Unless.. your R-4B has the Sherwood product detector mod. Notice how your S-meter moves on SSB signals. If it moves up and

Re: TR7A and R7A Jumper Boards and Digital Jumper Extender Board
Nice write-up. You found two of the most common TR7 failures, both on the PS board. C2108 us the only capacitor on my "must replace" list for the TR7. It is not a matter of if it fails, but rather

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Peter, Not sure if the T4XC is the same it has a 4-wafer switch the T4XB is a 3-wafer switch.? Unfortunately not only is the contact gone, but the wiper has a big chunk missing as well I think it's

Re: T4XB Major Bummer
Dave: If Gary can't help you, I have lots of T-4XC parts that are probably the same. Get back to me if Gary cannot help. Even a single contact CAN be replaced, though not an easy exercise! 73 Peter

Re: DRAKE TECHNICAL NET UPDATE ( March 19, 2023 )
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
