Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
Dieter, Jim, Thanks for your replies. So, my repaired radio still has two issues. (1) Dieter, you were correct in identifying that the source of the 1 kHz spurs on TX output is the DR7 board.

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
I have noticed some low level noise in the TR7 audio when I was working on another issue but did not investigate. It was far enough down to not be of much concern. Your spurs are likely from the DR7

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
Hi Mark, I had a TR7A where noise from the DR7 was audible in the RX. It disappeared when I disconnected the DR7. Additional electrolytics were needed to get rid of this. So if you disconnect the DR7

Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
I think this warrants a new topic, rather than tag it on to my 'repair journey' one. Making a critical assessment of the transmitter performance of my fixed TR-7 prior to using it on-air: When in LSB

Re: In search of a new TR7
I¡¯d have to second this comment. Unless it¡¯s been in a fire and then run over by a firetruck, the TR7 is quite repairable. There¡¯s lots of used parts floating around, too. Mike, wb8vge

Re: In search of a new TR7
Why exactly was it declared "dead"? The TR7 is quite repairable. I would go so far as to say it is one of the most repairable transceivers in it's niche and certainly more repairable than most
