Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
On page 17 in the replacement cartridges. If you have a MC-563 then your head model is probably a 10DA. 73 -Jim NU0C "Ed KG5UN" <maikranze@...> wrote:

Sorry, a moment of dyslexia.? It should read the other way... including it on pin 4, excluding?it on pin 1. Paul, W9AC

Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
Looking at the Drake Service Manual, the TR7 engineering gang included a 470K mic input resistor between pins 1 and 4 on the mic connector.? That gives the TR7 owner the option of using it on pin 1,

The link to the Astatic catalog that I posted should help you. Note that the nomenclature for the head and the stand are different. 73 -Jim NU0C "Ed KG5UN" <maikranze@...> wrote:

Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
With a TR7 I use the high level input which puts the total load on the cartridge to a around 1 Meg. What the higher load does is bring up the low end response (see attached graph). There's not much

Re: Was Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring - now mics for Drake rigs
Yep.? A pic of one my favorite mics. An Electro-Voice? 638 that I use with my TR7 and I'll use another 638 I have with the new to me T-4X. 73 Stan KM4HQE

Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
Sorry if I am hijacking the thread, but I wanted to ask a question. I have a model 10 Astatic mic with no data plate on it. It has the MC-563 element in it. Would that make it a 10C or a 10D? I really

Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
I suppose you mean the D-104-C? In catalog 197 it is listed only 3 dB lower than the crystal version. Interestingly they don't specifically say which is in the T-UP9-D104 "Silver Eagle". That suggests

Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
Jim's 470K resistor solution is a good one where the transceiver limits audio response to what we're normally accustomed to for SSB. I use a 470K resistor in the base of a D104 when using my Drake TR5

Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
Astatic made another model the C-104 with a ceramic element. Very similar except the output is about 10db lower. This is for the element alone. If there is an amplifier the output levels are probably

Re: RV-75 only decrements
I don't know of anyone who has needed to replace them but it should be possible to find or build a suitable substitute. You should be able to test them by watching the voltage swings at pins 1 and 8

Re: Drake T4XC and D-104 wiring
*** My homebrew amp is just a source follower. It has no voltage gain. Its only purpose is to present a high impedance to the element. I see that the "silver eagle" had a 26dB amp in the base. I
