Re: L7 makes alot of smoke
The power supply has the Harbach mod done and has been working great. Of course when this happens only the .82 fuse resistor blows. I do notice some possible arc points on the cover of the L7 and will

Drake TR7 transmit limit on digital modes
The Drake TR7 has beer great rig for me. I had an old Kantronics KAM XL I wanted to interface with its but decide to go back to the future and something like what was available when the sig was made.

Re: TR7A wattmeter
All bands. I like the idea of putting the Tiny SA nearby to see if it "sees" anything else going on. I'm going to print these responses and put them on top of the rig so that I remember them when I

Re: L7 makes alot of smoke
Well thought I had it fixed but again without any notice, large spark and bang.? Lost the .82 in the power supply and I suspect the 47 ohm parasitic resistors in the Amp.? I was using 47 ohm 2 watt

You will get more interest if you list installed options. IF filters, noise blanker, AUX7, fans? 73 -Jim NU0C "Robin K4IDC via groups.io" <RobinK4IDC@...> wrote:

Re: TR7A wattmeter
Bob makes a good point. Indeed this was my first thought. However in my experience the 40m oscillation is a sustained event. The fact that the meter spike disappears when the VOX delay is set longer

Re: TR7A wattmeter
Steve, is this action noted on all bands? Or only one, namely 40M? The oscillation on 40M occurs up in the 9- to 10-MHz range so the TX LPF may attenuate the signal sufficiently to not indicate on a

Re: TR7A wattmeter
Find out where the meter spike voltage is coming from. If it is from the wattmeter sensor you may have a parasitic oscillation. If it is coming from the 2nd IF/Audio board there may be a timing issue.
