Hi Paul, Thanks for the quick reply!! Yours has the BRN and BRN/BLK the reverse of mine(which is wrong!) I was to the point where I was going to open up my working L-4PS to see how it was wired!! Not

Re: TR7 - 40 meter oscillation
I will have another look later, as I have to open up a rig. The two HPF spares that I have did not have beads on the ALC board. I have found examples with beads on both ends of the red wire between

Re: TR7 - 40 meter oscillation
I have no idea. You would have to check the manual. It is a 3N204 in the TR7. "Bill Leonard N0CU via groups.io" <billincolo73@...> wrote: -- 73 -Jim NU0C

Re: TR7 - 40 meter oscillation
Another change to the 2nd mixer that was not included in the VE7PS list is a shield over L701. Most boards will have a shield over L703. Very early boards will have neither. Also notice that early

Re: TR7 - 40 meter oscillation

Re: L7 makes alot of smoke
The oem Drake plate block caps in the L7 are failure prone. They went cheap, and used a pair of disc ceramic caps.? When they fail, they typ fail shorted.... which will take out the .82 ohm HV fuse.
