AMP-4
Mr. Rob... Can you please remind me what the low frequency attenuation was for your AMP-4? Thanks! Joseph

Re: Speaker?
Spot on... As I stated in my group posting, the original driver is old, and a less efficient speaker can be had when using more power. My MS-4 was treated to a hardwood ply escutcheon to mount the

Re: Speaker?
Frank, I am running the audio out of my R4C into a CLEAR SPEECH noise filter, then....from the noise filter into a Kenwood SP-940 speaker with 3 filters in it. Absolute Nirvana sound...Can pick up

Re: TR7 next problem
Jim I just hooked my older counter and it is reading 152 MHZ plus it minus. Now which one is right? Maybe this one where the voltage is so high. Maybe I should put a ground on RFC505 and see what

Re: TR7 next problem
Forget that idea as I turned the TR7 off and that frequency did not go away. Guess next it to try and measure voltages on both VCO¡¯s and see if that will show the bad part etc. Jim VE1RB

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
My AMP-4 feedback loop was designed for about a 3 dB roll-off at 3 kHz. Personal choice. Rob, NC0B

Re: TR7 next problem
Jim maybe this will help. I touched up several solder joints although they didn¡¯t look good but not cracked. I switched the input to the counter and it is reading 17 to 18 mhz as the frequency is

Re: Speaker?
All the talk about the audio amplifier on an R-4C intrigues me to ask the question, ¡°What are you doing about the speaker?¡± With a 50 year old speaker in some cases, what are you replacing it

Re: AF AMP VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
Gary!!! Bravo! I too used a device like that for mine( TDA7377)... I removed the original jensen speaker, used a lower efficiency driver, yet one with better listening specs. My MS-4 has been modified

I've seen that board on Osh Park. I like the purple one. :D "Paul Christensen via groups.io" <w9ac@...> wrote: -- 73 -Jim NU0C

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
Yeah, that works. The TDA chips are rock stable and practically bulletproof when implemented properly. I have one of the Velleman TDA2002 modules that I acquired some years back for my R4C, I just

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
The TDA series and LM380 are fine although I wanted lower noise with no detectable hiss at any setting of the AF control when using studio-grade headphones. The image below shows a discrete class AB

Re: TR7 next problem
Good ideas Jim and I will get at doing that today. It is windy and raining here quite hard. A good job inside hi hi. I will let you know how it goes. Many thanks for the suggestions and help. Jim

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
It's a waste of time and money to design an AF amp for the Drake. I used a (now) 75cent complete TDA2030 module from china. Like this one:

Re: TR7 next problem
At this point I am suspicious of that 1.3 MHz reading. That may be a spurious reading. It seems to me that the VCO should not be able to run there. What is the level of the signal? The frequency

Re: VE3EFJ third mixer mod for the R4C
FWIW the TR7 uses an LM380. It works pretty well. "Mike Bryce via groups.io" <prosolar@...> wrote: -- 73 -Jim NU0C

Rob, There¡¯s always the possibility of starting over, making the changes to the artwork as necessary to use newer parts and or different parts with different footprints. I have time to do a few¡­

Re: TR7 next problem
Yes Gary I did the ground on RFC505? when looking at the frequency on the counter and it does drop a lot. So I guess you are saying the High VCO is oscillating at 1.3 MHz . If that is the case there

Re: MS-4 Accretion
Right now, just a power supply. I am considering letting go of my A Line (late s/n, the transmitter is essentially an T-4XB) and my L7 (has a Harbach board, graphite tubes and I reworked the power
