Lyndon... Yeah I thought about that MS-4 and if we had met at a fleamarket I probably WOULD have picked it up...but shipping adds silly cost now and thought better of it. I'll take a look next weekend

I have no connection with the seller, other than I used to live in Elliot Lake, ON 40 years ago, but this price looks pretty good to me. Caveat Emptor! 73 Peter VE7PS ---------- Forwarded message

Re: TR-5 BPF AMP Board Oddness
Thanks Stan. So yours is 69 units newer than mine, and has the standard board. I wonder how I ended up with this one? Hopefully a few more data points will come in and help settle this (whether it's a

Re: T4XC failure?
Sorry if my keying logic was inverted. The open key would sometimes close long enough to produce a dit or dah, or long enough to slag my T4XC finals (note to self: if leaving the room, turn stuff
