Re: B-Line Value?
FWIW in December I bought a working B-line with absolutely pristine copper for CAD$500 (~US$360). I think it might have come with an MS-4/AC-4, but my memory is too broken to remember now. --lyndon

Re: B-Line Value?
Dave, the prices have been falling a little bit but, as I often say, "condition is everything". If they're fully working with no blemishes and shiny copper, then your price is in the right area. The

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
Mark, There should be in the group files or photos section a clip of a QST blurb about bypassing the regulators. If it is not there I can probably dig it up. As for grounding, there is a point at the

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.
